I've worked for a steel manufacturer for a short time, it was an interesting experience. I liked the idea of doing some lower level coding. Most of the people who worked in IT had been there for over 30 years. People who'd been there for 10, were still newbies. The cool aspect of it, was their willingness to listen to anyone who had innovative ideas, because it often came from workforce on the line. What scared me, was the lack of anyone under 50. It felt like there was no investment in a future because they didn't expect one.
