    Non-IT Plan B

    I know some on here already have Plan B's but, I believe, most of those are also in IT.

    We regularly sound the death knell for UK IT - so has anyone considered setting up a non-IT Plan B?

    After several months on the bench am seriously considering it.

    I would love to set up a non-IT plan B, but IT is the only thing I'm any good at !

    I always fancied being a postie, but I suspect that there are far fewer scantily clad hot lonely housewives in the real world than in my imagination

      I have plans B and C running alongside my plan A, they aren't big revenue streams but might provide a safety net if I get fed up with this malarky.

              Congrats.

              Are you able to share details of the concerns you sold, if not the current one?

                Just starting a non-IT plan B as we speak...
                ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

                  Did plan b, sold it just over a year ago as a business for a wedge of cash.

                  Planning plan c, but really struggling this time to come up with a viable business.

                    They are all the same type of organisation...

                    I used to set them up when I was in contracts in other parts of the country - gave me something to do in the evenings.....

                    PM if you're that interested....

                    NOT IT - in fact it couldn't be further from IT!!!
