Comment tech support (Score 2, Informative) 161

Myself, as well as a few friends have all gone through this. A couple have been looking for at least 6 months (maybe not as hard as they could) for a tech job but can't land one. The best way to get some experience under your belt is to try to find some tech support work, be it at an ISP, or a small hardware company, whatever. It may seem like a kick in the pants to hafta do those jobs when you have a degree, but as others have mentioned, it's nearly impossible to get a job w/o real world experience.

As an example, a buddy who is still finishing up his AAS is CS just managed to get a job doing help desk at a hardware maker and he's starting at $14/hr. It'll be enough to pay bills and rent for him. Oh, and don't forget to check the local papers... it may seem outdated but there are still a few jobs to be had there (employer may get 1,000 reusmes but it's worth a shot, it's how I got my present job).

good luck
