Antonio,
I think it is quite a challenging decision on your part to actually think about running the derby again. but i think planning is something no matter how much softwares u may add, but at the end of the day it is the fundamentals which actually give u the direction while u r planning. so i think u can definitely give it ur best shot, but before doing that u can just brush up and recall whatever u did back then. of course as someone has mentioned u may have to satisfy urself with a cut and starting all over again and how fast u regain ur form depends on how fast u pick up the things. best of luck
Scott S,
Thanks for your comment, by the way it might seem that way but spamming is the last thing in my mind right now. Again thanks anyway.
I believe your experience managing your own business is something you should be able to leverage in trying to get back into project management. I expect there are many companies which would love somebody with both engineering & business management experience, but finding them would be the trick.
While youre researching, please also research SPAM. Spammers dont normally win many friends.
Good luck,
Scott
Dennis H,
Thanks for your IMHO. I reckon your thinking, specially the "tolerance for frustration" would be a challenge, but the rest of them... I should have no problem.
Cheers,
Tony
Tony;
While you may have some experience that may carry over, IMHO you would be starting at the bottom. The world has changed so much in the last 25 years. The tools, techniques, and the projects. You would be taking a serious pay cut and have to make up a lot of lost time.
Should you do it? That will depend on your sponsor/mentor, the first assignment, your tolerance for frustration. It is a shame that you could not leverage your sales experience - your technical experience is dated, but I do not see how. If you could, go for it. If not, think long and hard.
Sorry I cannot be more encouraging.
