Hi all, I'm currently working as a Tech in a new-build academy - it's great place to work and I really enjoy doing it (have been for two years). Everything seemed sunny. However, someone recently asked me that classic question "Where do you see yourself in five years?" And to be honest, I couldn't answer. I don't plan on being in a school in five years, but then again, I haven't necessarily planned for anything else! So... I want to ask the people of edugeek, what sort of career opportunities (outside of education) does being a IT Tech facilitate? Do you have any examples of Techs who have gone on to weird and wacky (or relatively normal) things after leaving the school environment? Working outside of IT arena entirely? Share those pearls of Wisdom
