Hi guys,

Hmmm, StackOverflow now warns me of: "The question you're asking appears subjective and is likely to be closed."

I've been an avid java (J2SE, JEE) developer for over 5 years now (and I'm not complaining, even though I want to go back to Delphi & C++). My contract has just ended and I'm wondering of possible job to further tackle.

I've done banking and insurance industry for all my career (with 1 year on a Fortuner 500 company) and pretty much, banking is the slowest (and boring) industry to work for (IMHO) since they're strict in their business practices (fair enough). The upside is that they pay.

My question is: What is the best industry for a developer, who tends to get bored relatively quickly, to work for? Is it also worthwhile for me to do consultancy (and if so, what type of consultancy)?

PS There's no gaming industry in South Africa, so suggesting it requires that I have to travel to a country where gaming is alive!

I don't see the Community Wiki checkbox, so I don't know how to make this a wiki.
