I currently work in IT (tech services, stuff like imaging, client support, rollouts etc) and have been for 12 years. I haven't reached mgmt despite doing fairly well and getting good reviews along the way. I was never a geek type and have little interest in techie stuff, I more fell into this industry. I really don't like what I am doing. Because of a huge merger, my job is about to go away. My choice is to try to leverage all of my 12 years experience, a recent MBA and PMP credential, into a new & different IT position, or change careers entirely. I know I'm not too old to change careers but it seems like a waste of all that experience and work to go into a whole new industry. But with all the IT offshoring and the extreme difficulty in moving into a different area of IT (the reaction to IT folks with tech services type experience trying to move into other areas is usually "not interested") changing careers might be best. Can't keep doing tech svcs, I'll hate life. Advice? Thanks!
