There was a time, as I recall, when some companies came to the conclusion

worth more to the organisation - and, thus, have a larger paycheck - than
a Manager. Thus was born the Technical Career Path... which has, I
believe, since died.

It is human nature to value in others those traits which one values in
one's self. Managers make the rules - and if you're good enough,
they will make the ultimate offer - a chance to become one of them.

I was once dumb enough to accept such an offer. After a couple of
years of dealing with tedious political battles and reconciling
conflicting priorities, I packed it in to become a consultant.

Experience can be a harsh schoolmistress... but look at the lessons one
might learn from Her!
