Perfect advice....though ....:(
Please tell me how: "to get hired by some medium to large industry with
an
IT department, sell your soul to the devil so you could get into that
department and let them train you *AND* pay you at the same time."
People with university degrees in computer science, years of experience
in different fields of computers and networking are trying to find some
job in any industry for even a "help wanted" range salary and can
not find anything. How do you think the person who is just looking for
introductory course in computers can be hired by an IT department? Maybe
you know some magic recipe? I would be really grateful if you could
provide
it to me...

One of my little stories that tend to drag on too long:
I have a friend who decided that she wanted to become a computer
techno-geek. She enrolled in some local computer college or another to
learn Window$ so she could get a set of letters after name. While she was
contemplating this I called a few people I knew in the U of C's IT
department (They weren't called that back then) and asked what they
thought of such programs.
I was told that for the most part they're nice, but worthless. A far
better strategy was to get hired by some medium to large industry with an
IT department, sell your soul to the devil so you could get into that
department and let them train you *AND* pay you at the same time. In the
IT world your resume' is a lot more important than any alphabet soup you
carry around after your name. Read that to mean that a list of the
machines and software packages you've trained on and used in the real
world is worth a lot more than the bragging rights associated with
classroom time.
And my friend? Twenty months later and $17,000 poorer she finally realized
that it was a scam. Every time she passed one of their hurdles, Micro$oft
came out with another package, level or step that had to be surmounted
before she could use those treasured but worthless initials. She's now
driving an ambulance in Slave Lake!
Nuff sed.
Peace, health, wisdom and wealth.
Live long and prosper.
