All true, I meant enjoying the corporate/management type stuff more

If you actually do enjoy it, then go for it. The world needs as many intelligent and tech-savy managers as it can get. But you may find that 15-20% will be even less the deeper you get into the world of management. Now I am not just "management" bashing here, I spent quite a while being "management" and still have to act like it sometimes too. But personally, I love to code, and I have actually taken pay cuts to make sure that I get to do more coding and rather than managing, because truthfully I don't enjoy it. Sure it might cap my salary to do that, but I am a much happier person :)

Disclaimer:
Of course I dont recommend getting yourself "demoted" and truth be told that was not too long after 9/11 at a job in Lower Manhatten, so I was certainly somewhat "emotionally clouded". But hey, I decided I would rather be happy then rich, and so far its worked out.
