Go getting. Little red tape. Commercial. We change approach at a drop of a hat if something isn't working. You're allowed to drive outcomes.
Aggressive also in the way of setting high standards, targets/goals and going out there to get it done..
Some people really thrive on this and they do very well, while others fall under the bus...... me..... I fall under the bus, that's why I had to find something that I could do.
Good on you if you can do both, the work stuff and you thrive and the property stuff and you thrive.... I think that could be a win/win

That's true MTR. Though I'd like to thrive at the property stuff more and more as it gives me the security and that way I believe it will be much easier to thrive at corporate because eventually the outcomes I want to get won't be tied to relying on work alone...
I like the thrill of it. Not all corporate environments are like this. I only have exposure to Investment Banking. Though I've worked for IBM during university days and I would never go back......
The downside though is that you always end up wanting to be going for outcomes and busy. But there are always going to be peaks and troughs.
In IT, hate IT However love IT for giving me the dollars to develop property.
You really know you don't like your job when the money is awesome, you work from home, your self employed and you still hate it.
Should've studied architecture when leaving school but too much in a rush to join my friends making cash. Plus too lazy to do 7 years worth of study.
Developing property is my way out, its something I think about all the time, the weekends, when on holiday, when at work lol. I recon when I naturally think of developing this often then it must be for me.

From someone who works in the Construction Industry, take it from me, architecture is a faaarking hard slog nowadays. I'd never recommend my kids get in to it.
What kinda IT dave?
Fellow IT and fellow dave here
Everyone who works in IT's name is Dave
I must admit, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the negativity I'm getting from friends and rellies about changing careers. I couldn't even tell you how many people have said to me "Do you realise that's one of the most stressful jobs you can have?". Talking to the few air traffic controllers I do know, they all absolutely love it.
Which airport does your friend work at pinkboy, and does he work in a tower or enroute?
While I don?t love my job, I certainly like my job and I love the conditions it comes with.
If I had my time again, I?d probably study the same degree. I was thinking that I would do renewable engineering instead, but it?s much harder to get employment with that degree.
So same again for me, but I would study at a uni that's smaller and a bit more hands on.
