Ahhh.. how do I get that job?? ;)

It's not too hard.

Endure retail hell for several years.

Go mad.

Start a family.

Become obsessive about chilli's and coffee.

Inhale too much burnout smoke.

Go to uni and study subjects that will not help get you a job anywhere. However you must never study an IT degree as this labels you a 'sucker for life' and excludes you from most jobs with a 'cool' element.

Do these things in any order you like and I'm sure you'll get a job like mine, maybe a better one even.

Work sales for JMills Distribution which is an IT wholesale distributor, I used to work for RTV Computers aswell.  Yeah bloody IT industry. Not specialised in anything, basically a jack of all trades but for my interest I want to really to develop to high level network administration.

All these IT specialists on here, someone show me how to really make a decent FTP server on Linux (Knoppix Debian) which i've finally got around to having a go at after 7 years. Yes too busy being a lame windows junkie.

Also a decent PHP setup so I can make so websites.

Who was it working at the DoiR??? I also have completed a Marketing Diploma at Tafe and was applying like mad to get a job there and never got a reply.

forums.gentoo.org has lots of good guides and so does gentoo wiki ;) not hard to work out how to do the same stuff in debian

Client Services Manager - IT related.

Dealing with project/program management, requirements gathering, QA and testing.

Very boring but sometimes challenging - hence I need the car outlet....

Cant believe I turned down a job at Adultshop for it though...;)

Oh crap, when will you young kids learn that just because you goto uni you'll jump straight into a 60k job! Get real! It ain't gonna happen, you'll still be a 21-22yo with NO real world experience. You'd be lucky to start off as a helpdesk jockey on 28k/year!

 

*Reality check pls!*

it happens.. plenty of times.. ask all the engineers/doctors/dentists..

IT is abit lower tho but still quite possible when u get out of uni.. but just get that rl world xp while studying hard and u'll be fine...

do oil and gas and get 60-80k straight out..

Andrew here... software developer atm.. Gov't electrical engine before..
