I knew how to sew but no, I had no idea about flamenco costumes or how to run a business. But hey, there was only one way to find out .. The thing is I actually loved my IT job. I’d worked as a freelance programmer and accepted a permanent position because of a particular project I wanted to work on.
Then I realized that the game was changing .. pretty much all projects started to get outsourced to India. I loved programming but saw that the way things were going the only way forward was project management .. so not me. Also, I was nearing my 40ies and really wasn’t looking forward to sending out resumes at the age of 50. So it was time for a change of tack and I haven’t looked back.
