Hi! I had a question about finding a CF job/restarting a career – if I’m 
posting in the wrong place, please redirect me.  Thanks in advance.

First, my situation.  I have about 3 years of CF 5 experience with an Oracle 
database plus Crystal Reports.  I relocated “recently” (over a year ago) to 
another office with my firm, at my request. Unfortunately, while significantly 
closer to my family, this office has no work on IT lines for me to do – and 
I’ve pretty much reached the end of my rope.  While the company’s great, 
its main focus isn’t in the information arena, and the work I’m doing 
currently is…mind numbingly awful. And the likelihood of this changing in the 
future is pretty small.  I also feel incredibly guilty for leaving the company 
that I started out with.

So, my (slightly panicky) question is, do you have any suggestions on what I 
should be doing next?  I’m at a bit of loss since I a) don’t have a great 
deal of experience with other programming things and b) don’t have a CS 
degree (mine are in engineering).  I have been watching the jobs list on this 
site as well as the local paper, etc.  Most seem to require either a CS degree, 
Java, or significantly more experience than I feel I have. All of my apps are 
on Intranets and behind confidentiality agreements, so demonstrating them is 
not really an option.  

Thanks again.  I’m going to sit over here and try to remember to breathe.
