I got a car payment and dont want to be dumped off after a year thats why I pass over temp jobs… The job I have now just doesnt pay enough for me right now and I need something better.

Pay might not be as good as some places, but the benefits are pretty good.

I have no connection to any of those jobs, so just apply from the web site.

Weekends are a must here… We are a Global Company and the helpdesk is 24 x 7 however… at this point… there is no hiring going on… They are only hiring in India.

there is still good money in IT, you just have to find the right place. I don’t make 100k/year but i don’t do bad for someone with no degree and outdated certs.

It would be much easier to get a job outside of Pittsburgh though.

I went on 4 job interviews over the past 2 months for Network Administrator jobs. There are jobs out there.

coming out of school sucks. you won’t get a high paying job like they promised when you started, find somewhere with growth available, get in wherever you can, and move up.

they are jobs yes, but all software prog and web dev, not that thats bad but meh, boring.

Then you see stuff like this, one of the very few non software/web dev listings…

> Full-Time Sr. Network Engineer  
> Robert J. DePaul & Associates, Inc. is looking for a very Senior Network Engineer that has a strong background with the following: Managing and Administrating all operating systems and their software, all Servers, Communications/Connection Solutions, Web site, intranet and intranet applications support experince, disaster recovery experince, Deploy and maintain firewalls, cryptography systems, and all host security activities, Oversee installation, configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of end user desktops, Install and configure messaging and printer systems,Distribute and supervise server storage space allotments…

Not that Im complaining or being a little whiney bitch but damn…its like, holy shit, would you like foot massages added to that list? Sometimes i think i picked the wrong industry :doh: And this is one of those times I think and really question the quality of service sacrificed for lower cost

That is 10 different departments (with more than one person in each) at Kennametal.  
That is probably a really small company / office and their IT is one guy who runs it all.

IT jobs suck… they demand you to be a jack of all trades as well as expect you to work 24x7 and not bitch… sometimes i get angry but most of the time I love it
