Honest to god though i wish i would have gone to school to be a nurse right now rather than business management. That is about the only field that is still in demand and still making money. Besides REPO, which by the way is starting to struggle because now not even the banks want to pay them. I talked to a guy last week who repo's locally various banks owe him $14,000 that he hasn't been paid yet. Says the money is trickling in 50 bucks at a time.

 

How much you pay niqa

 

On the TN job... hope its all that man... where in TN?

Back to IT work...

It for sure isn't as physical as some jobs out there, and IMO the amount of physical labor within a position shouldn't amount to more $$$. Or we'd have rich mexicans running our country

John, I can't count how many times I've worked several days without sleep restoring terrabytes of data a co wide spread virus had infected. Or how many times I've worked several days without sleep trying to bring back into production a Mission Critical server, Cluster or Server Farm that has gone down due to HW failures causing OS corruption.

We are also on call 24x7x365days of the year. And, I've had to leave vacation 1x to return to work during a power outage.

I am not a paper pusher. The tasks I get paid for, while I do them from the comfort of home and sitting on my ass in front of the PC, are actually mentally draining. It's not always EZ and during critical situation, the mental drain affects your focus & can lead to other problems and this almost always happens to the best of us...

IMO, with the exp I have, I feel I should be making 6 figures.

Sure there are a bunch of people out there that want to do IT work. And I've seen many of those come & go, and even interviewed some that quite frankly are a joke & should of picked a diff line of work.

I'm not sure what kind of IT peeps you know, but a good IT guy worth their weight in gold is good for 50K ez with 3-5 years exp in what ever they have specialized in.

 

What type of work do you do?

 

like 15$ a session? 20$ if I get a happy ending....

 

Construction, mechanic, maintenance, all around handy type of guy. im not good for office work ive got tattoo's on my neck and a sleeve.

John you make me . I know how you love these things.

 

I have a feeling your the exception to the rule. the guys I've worked with that are in the IT department are always a pain in the ass, they work 9 to 4 take 2 hours lunchs and don't come in fridays unless something major happens, which never really does. so yeah, your not the guys I deal with in the companys I've worked for over the years.



but even with that said, I have a feeling its kinda like my job where we have bad days or even weeks where all hell breaks loose. we have to work all the holidays. come in on days off to fix shit and then since we aren't able to get OT, take random week days off to make up for it. and in the end we make about half what our jobs would pull down in a normal place... but to make up for that lack of money. we have dead days where nothing does break down. so we get to chill, play on the internet, atleast when the air port wifi isn't down, which I blame IT guys for lol. wander thru the air port and just doing whatever. it makes up for the shitty work at low pay and our bosses know that.


anyways, the job is in pigeon forge. they are doing a background check and I have a online PI test to take. so that will be funny to see what happens with that. they may be like dude, your an asshole stay very far away from us.

 

Pigeon forge is a really nice area. very commercial though. i worked down there when i was up there. drove an hour to get there everyday. thats a nice area though knoxville deals gap everything is near. good luck man. you lucky bitch

 

You people are low as dirt, your going to sit here and run your mouth about people who come out and save your life after you over loaded you outlets from running to many of your video games and downloaded porn. FIrefighters back in the day anyone could go out and just become one ,but now you have to be a full paramedic just to get hired on anywhere and if you think you could go out and save a little kid or an old lady that is burning to death or some 18 yr old kid who just ate a bottle of pills and dies in your hands and then wake up the next day and go do it all again. Fucking go sign up then cause we would love to have you. Its not about how much money you make in this world it about enjoying the time you have here and making a diffrence

 

Enjoyment is subjective.
