The ammount of systems an IT worker has to manage these days is like running an Aircraft carrier along with launching and landing planes.
If an IT dept. is ran well they start reducing the ammount of employees required to run the company. If things are crashing every other day then the wrath of Khan comes down.

IT administrators hold the keys to the universe but get the dirty end of a used mop. Upper management cries when you are making over 100k a year but if you were to price out each job you are doing it would cost them well over 500k a year.

I make good money but man when I see sales weasels making over 250k a year I need to get out of the IT game.

Grats to China!

Please go take pictures of the U.S Rovers and launch pads so the sales of books and DVD's that the USA never landed on the moon make them look like the foolish people they are :)

Bullshit! Bullshit! More Bullshit.

Stake holders are greedy SOB's just like the rest of us. The moment an insurance company offers them millions if not billions to purchase that treasure trove of data there goes your insurance premiums.

Just like Progressive who has that dongle you plug into your vehicle. If any dope out there has installed that in their car should lose your license.

What a bunch of bullshit. Insurance companies aren't interested in lowering your insurance rates. If that was the case they woudln't be spennding 5 billion in adds all over the place to convince you 15 mins could save you 15%

How many emergenices has lower Manhattan had in the past 12 years? Stupid is, is stupid does. MOVE!

Same thing with the local
Paper Mill
Coal Plant
Steel Mill
Car Manufacturing
Military bases

If your income is tied to one industry then you need to evalute your future the day you start working there and prepare for the day when it isn't.

Now here was a paper who was forward thinking. Just like Japanese car makers never make excuses they just execute.
Japan knew the Internet was going to make a lot of content obsolete and so they started to release CD's of their news archives.
Shortly after that they started to produce an online version of their newspaper. WOW how novel!

The NewYork Times failed to Execute now they will be Executed.

I can pass the TOP SECRECT clearance exam! whats the job pay? it would have to be in the $250K range to be worth my while.

How many "Fucking's" does it take to make your point? the USPS was hemmoraging money for years. no bill was going to save them, no ammount of money was going to save them. It's a goverment agency run amok just like the other beaucratic agencys.

You have a CCNA and you are only getting paid 30k? UH I hate to tell you this but you should be in the 60k Range. If you are not MOVE to where the jobs are.
You are exactly right you are getting paid peanuts. Let me impart my IT wisdom upon you. You work 40 hours a week and they pay you for 40 hours a week.
That is called an even. You worked you got paid.

Don't waste your life at a company who doesn't value your talents. Sure money isn't everything but make sure you are getting maximum benefit for your output.
Don't work at companies who don't upgrade their equipment. You will fall behind and your skills will be less marketable.
Don't work for companies who don't value IT. That's most of them
Don't work for companies who have old tired equipment. You don't want the 2:00am phone calls.
Don't work for companies where you are the entire IT dept. You become the angry IT guy who is still doing Desktop support work for dumb users.

You sir need to move now!

So long and thanks for all the fish! If I had just one last wish, I would like a tasty fish. :)

How about once the Syrians and that's a big if they ever get them up and running, they don't want Stealth fighters making mincemeat out of their so called technological advantage or the newest systems falling into CIA hands to be dissected and a new generation jamming pod being developed.

What kind of subtrifuge bullshit is this?

Does this go along the same lines of "the dangerous Satellite could leak hydrazine if it hit the Earth and we need to shoot it down with a Destroyer mounted Sea to space missle?
I guess it will now be OK if the U.S. openly tells the world to prepare for the U.S. to strike by cyber attack.

Blah blah blah Jobs. Blah blah blah LGBT, blah blah blah Gun Control, blah blah Education, blah blah......

Hit all the talking points so nobody is left out. Still nothing is being done except to spend us into oblivion.
