    I've been developing software in Java (client & server-side ) for 8 years and I've basically had enough of coding. Looking for a change of career but would like to stay within IT. Would like to either self-teach myself (certs) or do a Masters in the area I would like to go into. Thing is I don't know what I would like to change to. So I was hoping people in the IT world could post a short description of their titles and roles or give some suggestions. Security is an area I could potentially find interesting but I've no idea what a typical day is like for someone working in this area?

    I'm currently back at uni, doing an MSc in Advanced Computing in London - my original degree was a Joint Hons in Physics and Computer Science, but all my work is in computers. I've worked as a developer (briefly) doing web programming, events processing and RFID development and deployment. I've also worked as a software performance tester/analyst, which is a very interesting area indeed, and it's what my masters has started to lead me into.
