Its a sad day - 10/24/05 06:43 PM
I live in western North Carolina, and though we have a thriving tourist driven economy, and lots of businesses and are growing at a rapid alarming rate. Its a sad day when someone that goes to school for so long cannot find a job other than somewhere such as bestbuy (geeksquad).
I started by getting my A+ certification. Went on to get my Net+ Security +. And completed my MCSA for windows 2000 coursework (the school closed and those tests are [censored] expensive). Also I have indepth knowledge of unix operating systems (freeBSD mostly) in a server environment and can administer them without a hitch. Also I am currently going to school for my computer science degree (programming). Not to mention the extensive website and other knowledge I have including PHP, CSS, HTML, Photoshop, dreamweaver frontpage, flash, fireworks, adobe premier
Even with as much as I have knowledge i have and as much as I applied it. Its a sad sad SAD day where the best "IT" job I can find is working for Best Buy in their geek squad removing spyware and putting in new harddrives for incompetent computer USERS whos main problems are ID 10 T errors, for a laughable $8.50 an hour.
This greatly pisses me off and I find it as a complete waste of talent and time...
Ok sorry I could not help myself but this has been bothering me for a while. Also the "uniforms" they have are very degrading..... I shoulda been a [censored] firemen..
