| 849726 | 2010-01-18 19:51:00 | Blog dated 2007, yet still *highly* applicable here in NZ. The first and foremost skill that you need in IT, regardless of what field you are in, is to problem solve well. If you can do that well, the rest should all fall in to place. Of course other things such as a good bedside manner helps, but if you can problem solve, you'll do alright ;) |

| 849729 | 2010-01-21 00:54:00 | Need loads of patience, and a determination to stick to a project until completion (that's where I fail). Problem is, 'completion' can be a vague point. Complete to the point of working is very different compared to complete to the point of being bug free (thoroughly bug tested) and secure, and documented, and standards compliant. |
