Ok I have 20 years experience and no degree. My background is in network administration and all the desktop support that goes along with it and application support etc. My last job burned me out so bad I dont ever want to be the emergency room of the IT dept again. I now have a nice high paying software support job but it aint gonna last forever. Has anyone found a low stress niche in IT? Does it mean a big company? I might be able to go for a degree or some certs. I am just not willing to go back to being the guy who has to save the world if it goes down and you stay at work until its fixed (sometimes for days) and get called in the middle of the night. I want a max of a 45-50 hr work week with no emergency aspect to it.
My dream job would be to teach theology or something meaningful but teaching IT doesnt sound too bad. As long as its teaching and not doing demos to help sell widgets.
I wouldnt mind working for the gov or non profit as a pension would be nice too. I am 40. Do I have to totally change careers?
The other bad thing. I cant take much of a pay cut. I am just under 70k now. In a lower cost area I could probably go down to 50k but my debt is unbearably high.
I think I will end up leaving my work in a pine box if I have to have job that is anything like the last three I have had before this one.

Posted on 25 April 2012. Tags: Abroad, canada, debt, Employer, information, profession, Study, Visa, Work
So next year im hoping to be doing a year abroad in Canada for my studies,
However ive looked into work visas so i can pay rent and other such things, but all i can find are sites for people who are specialised professionals that fulfil a niche profession, and you need to have your employer on board before you apply.
What Im wondering is, can i get a Visa that allows me to go over to do my studies, but then apply for a normal job(Retail, restaurants etc) while im there, just so i don’t have to get into a stupid amount of debt and always have to worry about money
Any information on this from anyone who has done this thing before would be really appreciated.
Thanks

…I work at a white collar job. I am in my mid-30s and he is at least in his 50s. He is in a senior executive position…
…But it was like a scene out of boot camp…
Yelling at me for over ten seconds. Maybe 15 seconds. Thrusting his finger down at the ground for emphasis. Ordering me to get someone at the phone lines at the front office. He was yelling because I told him someone was looking for him but he came out of the elevator and couldn’t find the person (whom I am not that person’s secretary nor affiliated with him, he was a guest who was visiting him for a meeting).
He was out of line and unprofessional. I didn’t file a complaint. I know this is not normal nor professional and no subordinate should be subject to this. I was shaken. And a couple days that week I had gone home at 9 pm and got in at 7 am. In other words, I worked hard that week.
Do you think he was out of line, and what should happen? Should I go about my job like normal? I know it’s unusual and extreme, but does this type of thing happen at workplaces? I don’t really feel like pursuing a formal complaint because it would complicate things and take a long time to resolve.
I work hard, but now I feel I approach my job differently. Wiser, not as committed to it. I believe in the mission but I’m not all that excited to work for someone like that.
He never apologized.
