Thanks for the responses everyone.

I like the idea of "Changing what is wrong" however as a consultant I am very limited with the amount of change I can inflict upon my client. I am really looking to do something different...

the possible choices I've seen from here are :

testing

Business analysis

Project Management

system administration

work for the government

work in education

First of all I don't want a drastic salary change (in the negative direction), so we can scratch off education and goverment jobs for now.

Second of all I am not interested in doing any type of System Administration work. I'm very limited with my linux/unix skills. I'd like to know more though, but I can by no means maintain a system. Plus I hate being on call.

Lastly testing, business analylsis and project management are left. I am not old enough to really be a PM. And I mean that internally. I am very immature in nature, anyone who meets me thinks I'm 10 years younger than I am, and for 27 that's not a good thing.

That leaves me with BA or QA. Either sounds good to me. I love the suggestions everyone!! I also feel a lot better about applying for these types of positions.

Thanks for the tips :)

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
