>I'd like to know why you are stuck Education is holding me back, I started working at a newspaper when I turned 20 as a Graphic Designer, moved to IT, then to the Web Department. Fast forward 9 years, now my position is mash up of all of these. Everything I have learned has been self taught, I feel like a Jack of all traits master of none. I feel I lack a solid foundation on the fundamentals. >How do you think you can get out of it. Honestly I don't know if I can get out of it without putting my life on hold. Which, I can't since I'm pretty much paycheck to paycheck and about to get married. I'm currently trying to teach my self Java to add to my tool chain. (html, css, javascript, php). I'm hoping I can collect enough skills that if I do apply for another job my lack of education will not hurt my chances so much. >What keeps you there? The steady income. >Benefits? We have them, but definitely not here for them. >Pay? Awful, I'm a couple of dollars over an In-N-Out burger flipper. I'm on the Central Coast in California, not many tech jobs around) >The job is easy? After 9 years it better be. :-)
