A Sample Career Path for an IT Person

I was once asked by one of my former employees what the typical career path for an IT person is, and my explanation went something like this. Depending on the size of the organization as well as the size of the IT department within that organization, the career path varies substantially. If the IT person lacks the skills needed to make business and strategic decisions, his/her path usually ends at the Sr. Engineer/Team leader or IT manager role.
However, if the individual possesses the skills necessary to be able to make both, IT and business decisions, his/her career could travel along a path to a CIO role or perhaps jump over into a COO or CEO role (typically only with companies that are in fact IT companies as opposed to others, let’s say pharmaceutical, industrial, government, retail, etc).

My Hobbies

I'm a very social person who enjoys being amongst friends and family. I enjoy the beaches and the mountains. I spend my summers at the beach either fishing, surfing, scuba diving, spear fishing, going to movies with friends, and going out to dance at the clubs or having a drink at the bar. During the winter I spend my time either snowboarding or just trying to keep warm at home. I do this all, while managing my web sites, side business, clientele, and employer. I also enjoy staying indoors, studying Japanese, watching movies and playing my guitar. My year-round hobby is traveling, both internally and domestic. I have traveled to over 21 countries; most of Western Europe and South East Asia, and a handful of countries in East Asia, the Middle East, and South America. I am always thinking and planning where I will travel to next to experience different cultures and people.

Below are some of my hobbies I would like to share with you. I am always interested in meeting new people that share the same hobbies as me. Always feel welcome to email me if your interested in joining in on a day of fishing, surfing, or snowboarding. I am always happy to receive invitations to events as well. ;+) I also did some part time modeling and acting when I first got to Japan, it was an interesting experience, but just not something I wanted to pursue, here was a website I threw together for it.
 

I hope to upload some photos soon and place them below to share some of my hobbies with you. If you have any photos with us together, please submit them to me and I will upload them here as well.
