10 Things you must know when working in IT

Working in IT is a dream for lot of people and the reasons for the same more then just the money. I found a nice article that detailed the 10 things you must know when you start working in IT and I must say some of the things mentioned opened my eyes also.

2. Some IT professionals deploy technologies that do more to consolidate their own power than to help the business
   
3. Veteran IT professionals are often the biggest roadblock to implementing new technologies
   
4. You’ll spend far more time babysitting old technologies than implementing new ones
   
5. Vendors and consultants will take all the credit when things work well and will blame you when things go wrong
   
6. Your nontechnical co-workers will use you as personal tech support for their home PCs
   
7. Certifications won’t always help you become a better technologist, but they can help you land a better job or a pay raise
   
8. You will go from goat to hero and back again multiple times within any given day
   
9. It will be your fault when users make silly errors
