You can have a lot of ways to move in a larger company. Just because you work 
for the same employer for a long time, doesn't mean you do the same thing. I 
also did the night school shuffle while working. It was a great way to get a 
degree, and a much better choice than my original - which was taking English 
Lit and Philosophy at a private Christian college. Nothing like working to 
change your focus and improve your grades.

Did computer operator, SNA networking, telecom project management (frame-relay 
networks, routers, switches, pbxs, voice mail systems, acds, cabling  
stuff, ...). Then worked for one of the smaller companies the big one owned - 
getting a lot more hands on. Jumped to a different smaller company owed by 
the big on, doing routers and firewalls (and moving a data center). Then we 
got bought by another big company. Did routers for a while, now doing 
something else.

But - it's time to move into a different position. I think you need to move on 
to a different thing every few years. It helps your skills, helps with 
promotions (and cash), and keeps the job interesting. I think the key is to 
keep learning, keep growing, and keep moving.
