Nah! People sleep less as they get older! I think we get out of the habit of lie-ins when we have kids :D Anyway there's nothing like being wide awake and bright and breezy when you have teenagers in the house! :p

Post #31 @elsiegee40! lol

 

I was 28 when i did this....*cries*

 

I haven't actually. I was in the top category even then :(

 

As for the IT jobs... computers have evolved so much since I started my degree on punch cards back in 1982 that the jobs around now weren't even thought of back then!

 

It's not as straightforward as technician, senior tech, network manager!

Graduated in 2008, was going to be a PE teacher. Changed my mind and did odd jobs. Was working as a recruitment consultant, fixed a few problems with PCs & printers when the managed services company were tied up so was told, "You can be the IT guy!" Worked as the IT guy for about 18 months on the back of zero experience (other than what I'd done at home as a hobby), then got laid off. First job in a school this time last year, aged 30. A very round the houses route but passed my A+ in October last year and now working towards Network+.
