Airline Industry Critic?

So I work for a large corporation that contracts out to the government. I was hired to develop applications, including web applications. My last three jobs have been with government contractors. I believe that I was hired at all three positions because of my security clearance. I never really had a mentor to help me build my experience. I fumbled through it all alone.

Government contract jobs are like fishing in the rain. It's kinda nice to be away from things(the corporate bs) but you'd really rather be somewhere else. I graduated last year with a degree in computer science. I have been developing for 9+ years now. I recently applied for my Master's program at the Embry-Riddle University.

I feel as if programming digresses my thinking. I do not really like logic and there are so many applications and tools for programming. It is really difficult to stay on top of things. But I try and I pretend to learn but I don't really learn. I tinker with this and that and pretend to know about it. I see other people breeze right through it and I feel retarded.

I took a side job for a small web developing company and I have been thrown into the midst of what seems to be jargon world. I am not used to doing business by phone, never the less trying to figure out how I am going to get paid for something I know nothing about.

I may be being humble with my skills but I really feel silly looking at some of the stuff this new gigs has presented to me. I wish I could quit and fly on airplanes allday.

I want to be an airline industry critic. I love to fly and I love airports. Give me that and I'll be happy.
