Now I'm surrounded by tech geeks like myself, I get challenged at work every day dealing with stuff I'm so interested in that it doesn't feel much like work to me. I'm also a guy who became hooked on learning at a young age thanks to my dad, and to this day I love getting those aha moments when I'm working with the mainframe and be lucky enough to be surrounded by lots of people that I get along with great.
I don't know why its this way, maybe less ego in IT people, no one is in suits holding meetings about useless nonsense.. Either way I'm very happy.

That's funny.
I was on the analysis side for a bit - statistical software and the like. I don't have very strong skills, but I learn quickly, and I would tend to provide lots of conceptual recommendations. I hated it.
Thankfully, back on the business side where I can talk, and talk, and talk to my heart's content.
I am convinced that it is all about a natural suite of abilities that we are born with, slightly develop through childhood, and then, have for the rest of our lives.
