help desk - there are other things... (Score 1)

This must be a troll... I personally think it's admirable that you obviously appreciate getting "in on the ground floor..". Maybe you should change your job "target" - find a bar that you know will be frequented by people from "other levels" in the IT food chain. Save you rnickels/dimes - go there and start to chat them up. Most IT will "drive" people to a bar anyway - I suggest you get there and chat them up. I think that you've been running into incompetents - especially if you tell them you have a degree. Most of those "boobs" are deeply afraid of anybody with any sort of education. Or just "fuck-it" - move to an island in the Carribean and enjoy life. Bring a laptop, loaded with Viopsys (and the source...) and just do 'er. Hell - never waste your time on the "boobs". Life has much more to offer...
