Comment Not always possible (Score 1) 504
Even when you've worked in IT, it's not always possible to work in IT. I spent many years doing desktop support, network administration, and related items. Worked for a company and had my job downsized - the famous "you've been awesome at the position and we really like you, but you don't have a job anymore" speech. Now, I'm nowhere near the IT field, and haven't been for over 5 years. Anytime a position opens, there is a plethora of resumes. Since I'm not fresh out of school, I'm not hire-able at the cheap wage that companies are willing to pay (their decision, not mine). At this point, I'm just grateful to be employed.
