Hear! Hear! I love how the IT business in general loves to promote itself as family friendly but anyone with a family who has been in IT knows it is all just K-rap. I guess I'm only tangentially in the IT field the rest of you are in- I'm a digital librarian at NC State. About half of what I do is system administration and application development. I had an opportunity recently to go to a dot com, which seemed great. I'm sure I would have loved it and it payed more than I make at State, but I suspect that they were pretty demanding in a not-so-family friendly way. My wife and I don't have kids, but it's nice to know that we're in a good position to should we so choose. Also, it's unlikely that NC State is going to fold any time soon. I do keep telling myself, though, that if IBM or Redhat has an opening for a librarian/ corporate taxonomist/ information architect, I'd apply. I don't have any sense how they treat people, but it can't be too bad, right?
