I think your 1st goal is to stop setting goals base on worthless things like business title.
Thanks for sharing your experience. You are definitely right about job security. Regarding hiring, I have heard some funny things regarding titles and from both sides of the fence. I will have to learn how to filter my information better but before that I thought it could be a temporary goal to work towards.
