UK sully,
I strongly believe that working here for a blue chip is not an ideal solution, what you need to focus is how to be a sucessful IT entreprenuer

for a start,
look at providing e - services solution to company. I know that you may or not be a techie for web designing but you can alway hire them on "rent a programmer .com" and they will charge you a minimum fee, this way try to make peoples life easier one thing i thought of is

Issue : People have issue fixing their wkstns caught with virus, constant crashes e.t.c.

resolve : make their life easier , by offering a solution online or dial a repair of computers and printers

a) have a tie up with a local logistics company that will pickup desktops from their houses and have it repaired at a workshop then deliver it back to them and charge a commision on all OEM that you install

b) for small scale industries, enable a web site for them to conduct buisness online, like preparing quotes online , procurement online and delivery process (KISS strategy (Keep It Simple Stupid) approach in doing business)

c) providing consumables to consumers with online purchases at prices much cheaper than over the counter purchases theryby benefitting from low cost startups

(Issue with Doha at the moment is that counter sales charge 300 % profits margin, covering the rental charges, overheads etc , but if move the amazon way out here, you need not pay high rentals on commercial properties, just hire a warehouse at the outskirsts of the city and then benifit from low cost operating costs)

I have more ideas that could make you a millionaire
