Welcome to Ranch Mr.Mathew
Each of us (Software engineers) start our career as fresher in some company. For the first few years we explore and learn new things. Next few years we do some projects on
java j2ee .NET php etc etc and after some 10 -15 years we become managers of some kind and finally MS office becomes our primary tool.
This the observation i have made in most IT companies. Excepting your comments and observations on the same.
