@reginagrogan BTW in my 30-year career I've done one, four, five, six, and 8 through 14. Yes, I suppose I was a stress junkie. Frankly I liked being a database administrator the best. Mind you some of these jobs are constant stress where things like a DBA tilt to more like being a police officer: hours upon hours of boredom punctuated by minutes of extreme terror.

@JeffC1956 I’m really interested in IT consulting because I love to help people as well.

@reginagrogan consulting is pretty good but realize you have to spend about half your time marketing yourself for your next gig. But you certainly do learn a lot in that process. Best of luck!
