A true story: what else can it people do when they leave it _it industry

Today, a colleague (already Eve), was called to his office by the boss. The boss said to him, because the benefit is not good, the company no longer and he renews expires the contract! I saw him leave very lonely. He was married the year before last, but also for the house, the wife and children to raise, this all of a sudden unemployment, but also the time of the Spring Festival!  I ran to say good-bye to him, he said nothing, only let me good, the company still has a promising future. www.it130.cn

He is a good man and is technically never kept secret. I remember three years ago when I first entered the company, he is the main force of the company, he to me this fresh graduates very care, as long as I do not understand, he must try to tell. At the time, the boss of the company also valued him, probably in the prime of his day (and a lot of exploitative value). But since last year, the company has turned. NET platform, we all go to develop new technology, the original PB old version of the program basically by some old programmers to maintain (perhaps the boss think they are not small, learning new technology some obstacles). The company's product upgrades work very quickly, the PB version of the program is less and more, we often work overtime at night, and he because of age and family's sake, not often overtime. It I gradually from the boss to his attitude change-from the earliest great appreciation to the general to gradually abandon. This year the company's benefits are not very good, perhaps it is China, The time? www.it130.cn

At the end of last century, there have been "do it,35 years old can retire" argument, after so many years, 35-Year-old retired into a fairy tale, 35-year-old professional snag but can not let many it people to avoid. Some say that it can be changed to management, but the management of a line is like a narrow bridge, and how many people can pass it (according to the average of about 100 programmers have only one or two management opportunities)? Turn to the traditional industry? It's over 30, can you come back again? What is the way out for most ordinary it people?

The 35-Year-old is a snag for it people, and it's the end of the age of the basic technical career that most people in the IT community approve of. So, it's really a lot of concern for the IT people after the age of 35: What can the IT people do when they leave it? www.it130.cn

The impression of the IT people are papa because of professional reasons. Their ability to communicate with machines is clearly superior to the ability to communicate with others. From machines to people, it people have to cross over.

The technical language of the IT industry is too narrow. Society is complex. The IT person's knowledge is not wide enough. Society does not need everyone to know how to design programs, but it people must understand society.

There are projects in it that some people have some experience with, but most of these experiential things are professional, and the experience of individual types of projects can translate into universal social experience, and it does take time.

These disadvantages, it can be said, all the Earth's it people probably know. In addition to it, to change a new life-style for a while really play do not turn. IT

But it people are the IT people after all. It is a highly paid industry, it practitioners for several years more than 10 years, it generally has a certain material base. This is an advantage for it people over other industries.

With such a material base, I think that the key to the post it people is to realize the transformation of the way of thinking: from technical thinking to social thinking, thus creating the second peak of life career. www.it130.cn

Technical thinking is machine-oriented, rigid, closed, one-way, social thinking is oriented to common sense and social, flexible, open, multi-directional synthesis. What the post-it people need most is a shift in the way of thinking.

Thinking one turn the world wide. After it people will find that society is more exciting than it is actually.
