Sounds to me that you actually enjoy the type of work that you're doing, it's just that your management is so in line with the profit margin mantra that they don't see your value.

Earlier in life, I had to tow the line. Now, I take jobs I want, and say a big fsck you if I'm introduced into a project where politics overrule logic.

Do what you've got to in order to get by, but don't throw away your personal desires because some team or management keeps you in a box.

That's my $0.02.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
