I am just not sure that any company would have me after so many years as a generalist. I look at job listings and see a specific requirement: I say "yes, I did that for about 5% of the time." Am I a systems Architect? I think so, but compared to a 28-year-old IS/EE, maybe not. Am I a project manager? Sure, but I only managed *myself.* Am I a programmer? Sure but only as a means to to an end. Do I know hardware? Only enough to keep my own world from collapsing (lately, unsuccessfully). Project manager? "Again, just me." Done design work as part of a team? "No -- never -- not even for 10 minutes." Nor am I sure that I could have a job again after so many years of freedom. "What? You want me to come there? *Every* day??" Am I a "team player?" Um, do I have to be honest about that?
