Can't think of a better job than that. Finance and operations manager for a NY law firm here. I know...can't compare. Hope to be a pro pilot one day, at least I'm working my way to a part time CFI. :)

You mean this ISN'T real???? :( Thank heavens! The numbers of PAX I thought I'd killed...... :( Seriously though: marketing in IT - using an unproven science to sell things that aren't needed to people who can't work them (possibly a bit too cynical :( )
