Incidently I do not have a background in IT. In fact I did not even have any paper qualifications for my position in electronics till I decided to do the E & C. I learnt by trial and error in my occupation because they needed someone to maintain dataflex and symphony when the programmer left (without passing on his procedures). I just did it as a part time task. It was fun except when I applied for a redundancy package they said "no way" and two years later when I "took my pension" They also said "no way" and coaxed me to work part time for another two years.
