I've been going to an ITT tech equivalent school out herefor the past 1 1/2 years, i'll have an Associates in Applied Science degree at the end of the month. I have the A+ cert, and I have an interview this week at the local hospital to work on the help desk. What does that pay in MA? I think they'll probably offer 10 to 11 an hour, which is about 14 to 15 an hour back east.

Oh, and I'll tell him to do a barrell roll, STFU, and I'll ask for pics

that particular position or just an overall on help desk...it definitely varies in salary depending on the responsibilities.

i get stuck on help desk maybe 4 hours a week. i'd much rather stay in my cave and make everything work from there rather than help people reset their fucking passwords, because they can't read instructions. the absolute worst part of help desk is the repetitiveness and when something goes wrong, they blame you first and foremost.q

The IT person here in my company makes over 50k abd hasn't been doing it that long. I guess it varies with what kind of place you go to

Salary.com is always way off. They say starting salary for entry level network admin is like $90,000

MSD makes $250k a year smuggling pornographic videos of F16s fucking eachother. Sadly, there is a fetish of this, mostly among ex military personnel.

"Guided Missile Pussy IV: The Afterburner Years" is top notch

Blessing Hospital. I'm in Quincy Illinois. It's like the South SHore Hospital in Weymouth MA in that they keep gobbling up land around the main campus and adding more buildings.
I did the phone interview Monday, have the face to face interview Friday. After that here's a peer interview where employees ask me stuff, behavioral type questions

They have killer bennies, accrued paid time off, and are a growing company. The place I'm at now is the biggest joke ever. The owner is the only salesman and he's a buffoon. We went to deliver a multifunction 45 copy a minute machine the other day. I asked him if he knew whether they wanted to scan to email or a folder and he says "oh, don't even bring that up that's too much work" Meanwhile he just stands around and bullshits while I do all of the set up and programming. I can't wait to give my 2 weeks, I hope he freaks out and tells me to leave. I'm thinking about having my phone in my pocket on record mode, just for prosterity

Congrats on the upwardly diagonal move, Bradness. GTFO of the copier game, those guys are indentured servants. Repeat after me: "Did you try turning it off and on again?"
