I once got trapped on the same question, if I wasnt an IT as profession what would I be? funny thing is that I think Im bad at sales, I dont like it, after 15 years as IT I basically quit the practicing the profession because I got disgusted with the local market, no days I still have a few clients but started other other sources of income, Im now basically a merchant close to be a sales man doing exactly what I didnt like at first, I still have the same passion for IT
