I'm currently working for the CIA. I get involved in some very high level 13 top secret investigations and guard duties. It's currently been slow with the whole election thing going on, which is why I waste all my free time on countless forums just trollin' around. Actin' a fool.

I am quite envious of your job. Ive been a master toyota technician for about 4 years now but have done a lot of computer builds, setting up networks, linux & nt/windows server administration etc. Probably within the next year i am looking to transition from being a technician to the IT field.

GREEN - I.T is where it's at man. There are gonna be a lot of people in the next 10 - 15 years to see their jobs eaten by computers. No matter WHAT you do for food, it's a good time to become smart about computers and computing. The money is amazing - it's never the same gig everyday - and one you get some time under your belt u can set your own price and "rules" if you prefer the contractor route vs employee route (I do). For example - I won't take a contract where I am forced to work on-site. This allows me to work multiple contracts from home (SERIOUSLY doubt E*Trade would let me bring AT*T hardware in the data-center to work while I am on the clock - LOL). Start small - help desk/maybe desktop support and learn EVERYONE'S job around you. You can't lose.

SicStangs - yes I have heard of practical - you guys do a lot of our contracts on the scope-dope side. Good stuff - ur pM is returned!

You just gave the worst advice I've heard in a long time :lmfao:. The job market is saturated with people "learning others' jobs" and then thinking they can conquer the world.:thinking: How many opportunities do you see about people just, "Letting contractors in because they learned someone's job" ??? Also, where do you think these people will meet Networking employers if they ask for Job advice on an Import Car Forum?

Be real with people- :goodjob:It's even more competitive now than it was a couple years ago, and that's where I'll leave this.;)

I will leave it at that. But what do I know?:rolleyes:

I'll explain it a bit more. In the late 80s and early 90s, I.T largely was a "jack of all trades" industry. You had to be a packet chaser, OS guy, application guy, web guy all rolled into one. Then the 1st hotshots to really come out of school w/ a degree in CIS, CS etc. started specializing. At that point, they didn't want the jack of all trades guy - they wanted the specialist - the 1 thing you do, you do it better than any1 on the planet. So a lot of guys who "hacked their way into employment" (like me) were losing ground - data centers were growing way too big to not have specialists. Then the bust - but we won't get into that - it's another topic. NOW, you can't just be a scope-dope and secure any kinda real job - not for the long term. You have to be well-versed in more than one thing. It's not as wild-wild west as it used to be, but you best believe you are gonna have to know some1 else's job if you wanna be around for the long term. Any1 who works in I.T will tell you this. But hey - if you're a 1 hit wonder and still have your job good for you - but you can't put your eggs in 1 basket in I.T anymore - you will drown.

PS: and yes I have seen guys go from desktop support into serious roles. You're either technical or you're not. The Sr. SAP Engineer at coke right here in ATL did EXACTLY that.

I account.

Yep, I'm an accountant. To be more specific I am the head of accounting for the entire US division of a European supply chain management software company. We develop, sell, implement and maintain software for stores of all kinds. Some small and some that are huge, hundreds of stores and I guarantee everyone here has been in at least one.

Anyway, I do everything. I have the money. Financial statements, budgeting and forecasting, payroll, invoicing, AR and AP, everything. I am a bit of a control freak so I don't let anything under my department get past me. I've been with the company for 5.5 years.. started off when I was still working in public accounting and my company was a client. They liked me so much they hired me and paid for my move to Atlanta. Very lucky.

It's a pretty nice job. I get a window to look out of all day, plenty of vacation, flexible hours and occasionally, a trip to one of our many offices in Europe. As the company grows, my job changes and I have to adapt and figure out new ways to do things all the time.

I appreciate the advice.. ill be honest im a very advanced level user, I understand you gotta start small and work your way up but im trying to find an opportunity to jump in somewhere intermediate level. Its hard trying to plan a career transition when you're already established at what you're doing and have financial obligations. Fortunately right now im doing a majority of the IT work for my company in addition to my primary job so I can use this as job experience on my resume.
