But during the meanwhile, I don't know any of my Univ. friends, even CAs or MD's who can pull in the hourly fees that I have or the salry that I managed at this stage of thier lives... So keep the bad code out there, keep selling those monstrous ERPS, and keep on re-designing business processes regardless of coporate inertia. muhha ha ha !!!!

Janey! You got your Avatar! Congrats!
As for the bad code, the truth is that there is an entire subculture that owes its existence to bad programming, and I know many people who consult in the IT biz that wouldn't have it any other way. However, there is a new breed out there who consult in Linux implementation only, and there you can find good code and a open-ended consulting world.
Still, it's all good until we're forced to live with bad code AND "trusted computing," but that's a rant for another day, and maybe even another board, like Tilted Paranoia!
Peace,
