At a Crossroads
I'm in a quandary.
I love to strategize about web products and solutions, and am encouraged to do so by my employer. However, in the past two and a half years of providing this I haven't seen it actually benefit my position within the company or improve my career opportunities within it.
I feel I've come head-on to a crossroads in my professional life, and I need to start making some tough choices. Do I blaze a trail within the company to force a new definition and understanding of the value web (intranet and internet) provides to the company while building the structure to support it myself with the rag tag fleet of web professionals currently in the company (numbering less than 10).
Or…
Do I venture outside the blue-gray walls of corporate America and find my own way. I have business ideas. Hell, I think I've got one particularly good idea, but its a big chance to take while being the stable provider within my household.
(sigh)
Maybe I'll do both.
