I've been working in IT for almost years. More than a job, it's a passion. After such a long time dedicated to the same passion, you either get really bored or addicted. Until you get bored...
Every day you hear the Google founders are making n hundreds of thousands while they're scratching, that YourSpace or Arsebook is now buying $NewMarvelWebStartup for x million dollars, that Apple are making billions with the new iCloth and so on.
One of the jobs I had in IT happened at $Megacorp, where I was support monkey for $ExpensiveSoftware that $Megacorp bought from $Bigcorp for almost 6 billion dollars (they bought the whole $Bigcorp for this money). 6 billion is a lot of money...
A few weeks ago I read in a news Mars bought Wrigley for 23 billion. It's almost 4 times more than $ExpensiveSoftware. For chewing gum. Bought by candy. Come to think of it, it kinda puts things in perspective.
We end up thinking the things you're most fond of are the most important. Well, sometimes they are.
But most of the times they're not. The dot-com bubble doesn't stand a chance against bubble gum.
