Have to be there. Maybe Richard would be able to point me a little bit, in a right direction, with a friendly advice. So i could see better the opportunities of growing in IT sector, that fits my possibilities and wishes maybe. :)

p.s. Didn't knew wheres best to post, guess the backyard is ok. If it is not, i apologize. Can be moved easily.

No problem. The Backyard is mainly for controversial off-topic stuff. The Cafe is better for this, and more people will see it here. :)
