IT is a great industry for work and salary especially in Canberra, it has been great for me. Yes, most of us would love to be passionate about what they do (a few are lucky to be paid to do what we are passionate about but most aren't). I mean who wouldn't want to be a highly paid professional racing driver or some other highly paid sports star with the associated benifits??? Unfortunately the hard reality is that most of us will never achieve this in our chosen profession. The important thing is that we get some job satisfaction and enough $$$'s to be able to live a quality life and don't forget the friends we make along the way.

BTW I am a IT systems engineer.

Next career. Maybe something in the Financial Services sector. Dream job? some highly paid sports star with heaps of beautiful groupies woman chasing me :domokun:

I'm an IT Project Officer for Dept. Industry, Tourism & Resources.

In my position I've got to be whatever they need me to be regarding IT. My main work centers around web design & development with a fair bit of database design as well, and Access/VB(A) programming.

I co-manage the website for the Australian Building Codes Board (The current site is prehistoric and sucks arse, hence we're making a new one at the moment).

The rest of my stuff is IT equipment work, specialist hardware/software setup for our branch that isn't covered by the department's service desk.

I'm a jack of all trades if you will.

I like my job because of the opportunities that I'm given, I get to do training whenever I ask for it (more or less) and I work in a pretty good team.

I suppose the downside (if you could call it that) is that because I'm a pube I won't get the $$$ that working in the private industry will get me but the security of a permanent public service position is something I really like.

And I'm about to start doing a bit of website/database work on the side as well.

I sell rock cocaine to school kids that own computers, and who use the "wikipedia, flickr and myspace"

Does that count?

jokes, im a java programmer who sips Pepsi Max, munching on caffeine tabs, sitting in front of 4 24" LCD monitors, backed by $30k worth of server hardware, and hack satellites in my spare time

jokes, im the creator of spam and want your ebay account details

Serious jokes, im a TSO geek, that does a little bit of everything in the small to medium business i work with.

I don't really care what i do, i just wanna make the $$ to pay for my cars, friends and fun...

(this has been written while jaded and looking for another job)

Edited by GeeTR
I scan products in front of a red laser and a currency pops up in front of me. I repeat this step until completion.

I'd rather be passionate about something and following whatever that may be.

haha.. I'm not really a check out chick

I work in Medicare and am an IT Business Analyst.. monitoring and recording stats and figures about pharmacy stuff.. not all that great.. but PJ's is right across the road!

I'm an IT Project Officer

Lol, I didn't realise you were a IT project officer. You know you guys probably create more work problems for others HAHAHA(not for me, some other IT Project teams do that).

Me, I'm the one who sits on the phone pretending to know these new projects, and try to fix them.

Help desk team leader.

for a government organization that owns a private TV network.

I have 2 staff and i made them both buy turbo skylines (really)

hehe.

Would that be at Transact? hmmm Transact aren't actually gov though... where you at?

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
