Hi Myth,

Would you like a desk job where you don't stand out or where you do?

I have known a lot of peeps who settled for 20 years of the former. Some OK with it, some not.

FWIW, desk jobs might anyway be an endangered species as almost anything a Corp can do to reduce their real estate footprints and so reduce high fixed costs, but maintain or improve productivity, is becoming very attractive.

And with all the technology smarts still in the pipeline - mobile, untethered knowledge workers are in for an interesting 24x7 ride;-)
