If you’re going to school, working in the state as an IT student assistant is the easiest way to make $15 and change an hour. Plus it’s definitely a step in the right direction to getting in if that’s what you want to do with yourself. Check out [StateJobsNY.com](http://StateJobsNY.com) ---

joey, thanks man, i’d appreciate it. i’m not really too picky, i just can’t stand my boss right now. he is totally making it hard for me to do my job. i think i told you about this before, but maybe not. fujii, i have been actually considering a state position for awhile. aren’t they only hiring a few times a year though? i’ve heard the test they administer is pretty simple, and mostly basic knowledge kind of stuff. i’ll check out the link, thanks. lksi, thanks man, p.m. sent! db2, never worked in a shop, but would love to get into the “right” place. all the work i’ve done is freelance, and while my conditions are less than adequate (working outside,) i’m pretty affordable, and i get the job done. ---

Depends on the position. The entry level level IT positions (IT Specialist 1 and 2) they hire year round, same thing with student assistants. They also have programs at UAlbany and HVCC they list student assistant positions not listed on the website I linked earlier, which is how I got into the state. ---

If you do I can refer you to someone at Golub for an internship. Does not pay 12+ an hour, but it is deff a great experience. I wrote and maintained software for them for 2 summers and 2 winters, only reason why I’m not going back it because I got a better offer in Buffalo. Very nice people there. You even get some benifits, during a few weeks in the summer you get reallly cheap tickets for you, your family and friends to The Great Escape, there is ussually a company BBQ that they invite you to also. Also, if you want a LEGAL version of Microsoft’s Visual Studio .Net development suite to play around in, PM me. Computer Science lovin :tong ---
