Before that I was a programmer and then in Tech Support in industry, but I'm not working out for how long as it makes me feel very old!

[maniac]

5 Years, 2 months roughly.

 

In that time I've worked in 3 different schools - started as a network manager for a small school working on my own in a vastly under funded department. Moved onto being a tech at a bigger school where I was one of 3 techs there managing a rediculous sized network, now network manager with two technicians working in an academy, been here about 10 months now.

 

Mike.

[Mako]

19 Months, and I'm 20. I started just after I left Sixth form.

[K.C.Leblanc]

Just over 2 years.

 

My last one I left after 18 months.

[jcollings]

9 years in this school. Before that a number of FE colleges and a special school.

 

Overall 22 years in educational IT - where did the time go!

 

I only got into it after spending a few years doing electronics/IT for a company making aircraft and weapons equipment and thinking what a really rubbish industry I was in and that I must be able to make better and more positive use of my skills.

[Jiser]

1 year at one, 1 year and 1/4 at other. Nearly 6 months at current one.

[Sirbendy]

9 years this summer in this place, 3 years in senior/junior/infant before that, some time also in county council mainframe/BACS/outreach team where we would go into schools as needed.

 

Good fun. This year will be my 9th and final year at this building, as it's being demolished..that's going to feel odd. New building is almost complete though, so that'll be fun.

[sparkeh]

3 years now.

 

Before that I was a software developer for a management consultancy firm. What a soulless industry that is. Glad to get out and into a job that actually meant something.

[russdev]

March 2000 I started.

 

My current place 5 years and 5 months.

 

Russ

[bossman]

7 years and still counting ;-)
