Second chances
Mood:  lucky

Funny how life works.  I applied for a volunteer position with Netcorp to work overseas using my computer skills to develop IT infastructure in developing nations, and training the poeple in using that infrastructure.  But I also needed to work and so also applied for a position with a prestigious local IT firm.  Well, was interviewed by the local firm and was hired.  A month into the new job I am contacted by Netcorp for an interview, but in all good conscience I cannot abandon the firm that hired me. 

Life does offer second (and third or forth) chances.  Netcorp has contacted me again.  And the job with the local firm is stressing me to the max.  Helping corporate America is not quite as rewarding or valuable as helping developing nations overcome just one more divide we in the wealthy west have created  - the information technology divide, perhaps one of the most damaging in this age of a global economy based on information.

Perhaps this time I can get my priorities straight.
