> If your looking for a part time job, I would suggest looking for a little gig that might not pay you shit tons, or give you good bennys or what ever… but find that little gig in the field your hopefully going to school for. Like Ilya said, get your foot in the door. Also while your working there, it doesnt much matter if you only do 5 hrs a week there for the next 2,4,6 years your in school. Come graduation time, you already racked up years of experience and will have something to put on a resume, which will be more than the slacker that isnt doing this that graduated with you hunting for the same damn jobs.

I’m in my second job in the IT Field.

I worked at vellano for 2 years, my hourly rate wasnt that bad but the fact that I was only working 15-20 hours a week sucked, but I enjoyed what I was doing.

Now IM working 40+ because I choose to because I like my boss, I like helping him out, I pretty much run the show and I love what I do.

I dont make as much as some of the other IT guys in here but thats becasue I enjoy doing Hands on bullshit while most of you other guys sit in your big chairs in the office with your administrative positions telling other D-bags what to do and playing with domains all day.

Someday maybe I would liek to do that, but right now I love what I do, and will continue to do it until I decide I’d like my own big comfy chair and little minions to go fix shit i dont want to

Not kocking on you guys at all BTW haha

I just enjoy doing residential/small buisness support, down to earth people, they think your god and they tip extremely well.
