Seriously, I was being pushed into mgt at one time. In fact, I was told that
because of outsourcing, we would be "worthless" if we didn't do mgt like
stuff. Can you say team lead, or business analyst or something like that?
Well, I resisted, and went into SCM (as a developer) instead of being canned
as a developer. Well, there is a lot that goes into being an SCM person. So I
found a nitch that I can be in until I retire()!
