Hmmmm. Let's see. How do I get 100 copies of these porn pictures to print out on the 5th floor network printer.

You neglected to give your age which will have a bearing. People interviewing you for IT will be young, 20s and 30s maybe, and if you're not (40?)(50?) they'll wonder why you're not yet retired and just think you're a loser. It also depends where in the country you're looking for work. I'm in the South and it's pretty dead. The NE would be better. For the amount of time you're gonna spend you'd be better off to go to an offshore med school. Then you'd really have something.

Better still, learn to live off the grid and leave these corporations who have farmed out the tech jobs offshore and skimmed the fat off the US economy to fend for themselves. You're smart; why bust your butt for these assholes.

These snot-noses obviously still have a sense of self worth. Crush them quickly or better still farm their jobs out to India or China.
Wait...we already did that.

Watch the movie "Office Space" and emulate that model.

My CS degree is pretty much the hardest, most useless work 'job-wise' that I ever did.

In 1995, before I got out, it was the middle of the dot com boom and new grads were earning 60k their in first year out.
The crash came just as I graduated (the hail storm came and the grapes were defenseless, etc, etc) then the outsourcing began and so on. (weep, moan, blubber, etc.)

Now it's worse than ever (see whining above); If I can, I'm going to retool to be a physics teacher in an underprivileged school for the next three years.

You're young and smart. Things will get better. You'll probably do fine.

Good Luck,
Uncle Xylene
