I'm only interning because I'm so new to this and not really in a position to be picky. I plan on learning all I can. And if after I feel I'm in a position to expect more and they won't give it, I'll move on. A lot of the stuff I'll be doing in school is going to be directly beneficial to me at...

Is frequent job hopping no longer frowned upon? I've never worked in IT so I am unsure of the norm. And I got my last job 10 years ago so it's been awhile.

The current system admin started as an intern too. It looks viable. I never bank anything on one place and always have my eyes open for opportunity. I'll learn what I can and increase my skill set. Get a nice resume boost and if a better opportunity comes along, I'll jump at it. Max I will...

Lethality has Blackwulf shill syndrome.

Yeah they brought it up. They want to keep expanding. They've been growing over the last year or two and have hired about 100 new employees. Seemed legit and all the people were super friendly. Even the HR director was pretty cool. She talked a lot about their work place culture and employee...

I hate affirmative action. I understood the need for it back then, but now I don't think it's useful at all. It's literally discrimination against whites these days. Let the best qualified candidates get the job. And if they hire someone that they know instead of the best candidate, so what...

It's with Scientific Technologies Corporation. They do health informatics. They have their own separate help desk to service their clients that license their software, their own development teams, then a separate but small IT department that keeps all the computers and network/servers running...

I landed a position as a System Admin intern. Should lead to a full time gig in a few months. Definitely room for growth. I'm excited.

You doubt machine gun Johnny?

We were talking about beta, a_skeleton_03. And how they nerfed them from beta to launch.

The rewards were only bad if you didn't contribute enough. I got tons of good loot from rifts in beta.

That demo looks great, graphically.

Thanks for the new profile pic lol

Don't act like you aren't still on the pantheon train. Come on bro. Now you're somewhat vindicated by this. This is your moment. Shine on. Pantheon on!

Looks pretty good. Guess all the naysayers were wrong. Eat that crow boys.

I'll just keep looking. But it seems all other jobs will be a hefty pay cut. May be better off just keeping my head down and finishing my degree.

Wow. I think my current boss is throwing shade at me transferring to IT. After talking with HR last week and things going well, I was waiting to hear from the IT director like we discussed. A few days later I get the "thanks but no thanks" email that people get when they don't make it past HR...

Maybe the "Christian" was the red flag...

It's like they should make a setting to stop apps from downloading in the background or something...oh wait...

The Facebook app on iOS is legit!

I'm in a financial position to take a pay cut. Having 2 incomes helps a lot. I'm always cautious so that's a given. My hospital isn't going anywhere financially. And IT is the one area they can't cut. We're going to a charting system called Epic this summer and they need all the help they can...

Yes.

Update: basically my salary would start out at their Max for the position because of some policy on demotions and my time of service with the company. So my starting salary would be in the $25/hr range. So only a little over $3 pay cut. I am also losing $5 differential pay but this is a much...

Good news is I think I'm getting a interview for a help desk position. The bad news is I believe the pay cut will be as I suspected in the $10-11 and hour range. Their help desk positions start around $17-18. But not having to switch jobs and them continuing to pay for my school is a plus. I can...

I hear most government IT jobs require that trifecta of certs but otherwise, they are just general certs that came with the degree. Most of it was pretty easy for me and I passed on the first try with minimal studying. Only exception was the subnetting stuff, but that wasn't too difficult.

Because aftermarket CPU coolers perform better than the shitty stock one. Simple as that. If you're talking about overclocking, that's an important consideration.

Aye WGU. For the cost it cannot be beat, IMO. I am contemplating switching to the security track just for the CCNA. I have until the end of my term to decide.

I work 12 hr shifts, 3 days a week. More if i pick up OT. The management in my dept is fucking inept but I can keep my head down and grind out my degree on their dime. I'm just trying to get a feel for my 2nd career and where I should be focusing my effort. I currently have my A+, Network+...

I think that's the angle I'm gonna try first. Seems like a logical step. They are paying for my school anyways and I have 10 years seniority.

Thanks for all the advice. It's tough decision to try and decide where to go career wise next. I make ok money as a Respiratory Therapist. I just don't want to do this anymore. I make about 65k a year and the wife makes about 60 so we pull in decent money for AZ. I know I'll take a pay cut...

I'm doing a degree in Network Admin but there seems to be a lot of crossover between this, Security, and System Admins. I picked the support side over programming for the exact reasons you mentioned. But instead of having your job outsourced, seems these positions are being insourced with H1B...

So what part of the IT field has the best future? Programming, Desktop Admin, Network Admin, or Security? I'm finding it difficult just to even break in.

All the Surface Pros come with integrated graphics. You talking about the surface book?

And here I always thought if you make a good game, you'd be swimming in piles of money. Someone should tell daybreak to make good games instead of this mediocre crap they pump out and then try to nickel and dime us through micro transactions. It's retarded.

Guess I'm gonna have to skip this. Not a pvp person. The world looks beautiful, but yeah. Need some dungeons, raids or something.

Does this game have any PVE at all other than world bosses?

I think the game is still in development. They are more likely falling back to an earlier design or they just went silent. We will see something eventually. That's not to underestimate their ability to fuck shit up, but we will see something.

What's your price range and what type of devices you connecting. You can get a wireless AC router but if you only have wireless N equipment, the extra speed will go to waste.

The backbone of the network has to be fiber. Running to the house, you can get get gb and 10gb speeds on newer cat 7 and up cabling. Just has short distance limitations.
