How many of you work in IT or are going to school for an IT career?

I’m a Junior atm, going for a BS in InfoSec Management.

Japan has http://www.scribd.com/doc/3408923/Are-you-Analytical as an IT test.

This thing is old as fuck though.

26; Windows System Administrator Level 2

Basically make servers that keep them shits working. In my free time i’m getting my MCSE 2003 and going to get Citrix certified.

25

BS in Engineering Technology. (10 sub-programs… graduated in Computer Technology)

MIS Admin (that’s my title anyway)

I do normal IT stuff and random network shit. 3 of us do it all for the company + satellite locations.

Only cert is Win 2000 Admin. I should probably go for A+ since it’s pretty easy if you already work in the field (and even if you don’t).

Grew up with all this crap though so it’s more of a hobby turned into a job.

BS in Info. Technology with a concentration in Net. Security; Minor in Business

I’m a cyborg.

23, IT Technical Recruiter! So if any of you need a job and/or just graduated… check out comrise.com and go to search jobs! i acctually do marketing on the side and wrote all the content to the site too! sorry not trying to spam…

  1. Official title is Information Systems Technician. I’d probably go with IT Labor Worker at this point. :rofl:

Hybrid help desk/field tech guy. Only cert I have is MCDST, which work paid for and I picked it up last summer. Looking to switch to strictly networking this year, gonna pick up a Network+ cert just to get my feet wet. From there, I want to start working for a CCNA with emphasis in Security.

  1. Helpdesk Technician: In my company this means you have to service everything from computers, printers, to connecting iphones to the mail server.
  1. Solaris Systems Engineer. We build / design / help maintain a large Enterprise Solaris shop for NYC.
  1. A+ Certified which I received through a free community college course which paid for the tests. No college degree.

Right now my job is Technical Support/Help Desk for a telecommunications company for 3 years. Basically if someone has a PC related issue they look to me to fix it.

9 years ago I managed a local PC store/cybercafe working on Sales, Repair and Networking. I did that for 2 years.

I can concur with most here that in IT experience is your best friend.

32, break/fix technician, AA in business administration, A+, MCSE, working for large aerospace company.

23, Infrastructure Technician… I basically do networking and work on projects… anything ranging from… large scale deployments of things like PC’s and thin clients to large branch moves like moving 43 75+ user offices and 10 servers into a single building… looking at everything from start to finish (ie server room building, WAN installation, LAN installation, power and electrical)…

I need to get paid more for what i do LOL

  1. Used to work in IT, but now im Software Test Engineer. I like this job as I can break whatever I want without get fired :slight_smile:

Went back to school to finish degree in CS, cuz just I want to. I have 8 years of experience already, so why not have a degree just to frost the cake?

I’m 33. Work for an investment bank in NY in their information security department.

So, yeah.

  1. working on a BS in business admin w/ concentration in information systems.

Hrm… an MBA in Information Security. Care to mention where you got that because I know of no universities that offer such a thing.

Sup. 32, I’ve got my A+, network+ and my server + cert’s. I tend to stay away from anything cert program that MS puts out, but the majority of my work is with windows. You name it, I do it. Network implementation (wired/wireless/ security, design, troubleshooting, repairs, etc. I’m currently a Server Engineer for a major ISP on the eastern board, been here for 3 years now, 4 in a couple of months. Prior to that I was a Network Administrator for the government of Maryland and after than a Tier 3 Support Tech for a local school district for about 4-5 years.

My Alma Mater offers it

Yes that is technology management, pretty common. He said “MBA in Information Security” which I doubt.
