The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Sadly..it's a not very dirty secret, that IT is one of the trades right up there in the inability to pull anyone. It's not sexy although it can be fairly well paid. No orgies, hell, frequently no opportunity for anyone tasty. *sigh*.
OK, further on in the unsurprising 'secrets' : if you don't pay lots of money for security, your software will not be secure. It will have architectural flaws, holes, exploits, unprotected data, etc, etc. If pushed to release products sooner, even *less* time will be devoted to it.
It's important to remember - no one ever got covered in glory for a great backup solution, firewall or data storage, and everyone hates things that makes their life less convenient (i.e. security).
MI6 have lost more than one laptop when pissed in a pub, why do you think the rest of us are any better when we're not getting paid well and have no thanks for an invisible, yet important support service?
