I'm a highschool dropout , anon,

>>106148837 (OP)
you dont have to finish college to find a job

about a month til I gave up and went to some shitty consulting company like Infosys, Teksystems, etc and let them put me in a job. then haven't had problems since.

Found a job at Marktkauf on the day I got my master's.

Golden bikini is top tier. Also love the little bush showing.

>>106148837 (OP)

Sorry for not reading your post but I want to have sex with Machu.

A few years. I got a job with actually decent money and now I'm unemployed again even with a masters degree and cert. It was definitely easier back then.

First job was in highschool testing computer software for bugs, then eventually doing external phone support for that same software. Graduated with associate in network admin and had a job about 6 months later doing level 1 help desk for a high school. 2 years after that was an actual network admin. The year was 2012 when I graduated so none of this information is particularly relevant today because everything sucks everywhere.

Before 2008 people would literally hunt you down to give you good jobs at wages easily high enough to buy a house. Everybody was white too.

>>106150079
gee, I wonder why people become neets when the current job market is a mess and is constantly screwing you over at every opportunity no matter how much you try

Anons have probably heard this a million times but Im getting my network+ and security+ then working on a virtualbox portfolio to get a job in IT. as far as I'm aware this should land me a job quickly enough.
I hate being part of the normie sphere. I hate normalfaggot jobs. Let me sit at a computer and answer tech problems.

Had a friend's dad who didn't know squat about IT get hired working at a stock buying firm replacing GPUs and basic HD stuff making like $100k in about 05. He came home with a literal garbage bag of gpus, they were only a generation old. He pulled them from the dumpster and I think 90% of them still worked since they were chucked in there. Everyone in our friend group got some major upgrade from it, was wild.

>>106150151
jeets and women have made this near impossible now

>>106150234
I had a professor tel a story of a guy who was supposed to bring like 20 top of the line laptops to be disposed of, but got rear-ended and completely totalled in an accident on the way with the laptops in the back.
Do the gym claimed the laptops were I working order before the accident and made a claim. The insurance reimbursed the guy with all new laptops.

>>106148837 (OP)
I started working at the end of my first year.

>>106148837 (OP)

>Contractor took about a year
>Administrator took about two years
>First full time role seven and a half years

Way longer than it should have been. I’m debt free now with more money to my name than I ever owed. My net worth has increased a quarter million the past 7 years and life is going to keep getting better.

>>106150146
Now everyone uses msps and has no soul

>>106150203
I already have net+/sec+/a+. You need a ccnp and isc2 plus a azure/aws administrator nowdays to do anything but helldesk. And somehow most companies are still asking for msp despite that being discontinued in 2019 and it not existing anymore.

>>106148837 (OP)
5 months back in 2018.
Unemployed again, and it's been 5 months again, with less and less interviews after I got laid off. So market is fucked right now.

>>106148837 (OP)
I got an internship before finishing college and got hired after some months.

>>106150291

It's stupid as a society that this is how things work, but it does make sense from an insurance company perspective when they run the risk of being taken to court if they deem a laptop good and it later fails as a result of the accident. I believe this story. Retardo world.

>>106150595
My plan is to get the bare essentials and land a hell desk job as soon as possible because the bullshit I'm doing is unbearable. But ya I'm planning on getting the more marketable certs after.

After? You should find a job before you even finish. Else you're fucked.

>>106148837 (OP)
I didn't go to college, did IT for a year. $30/h plus mileage, was a sweet gig. The jeets made it unbearable. Cannot do simple tasks, ever

>>106150560

Yep, MSPs or VARs. I worked as a Cisco wireless engineering consultant for a VAR, the role was cush and the pay was better than the rest, but it was all so retarded. I wished for a while to go independent, but since I don't get vendor discounts, I can't compete. Come in and service older systems? Good luck, I'll be a netgear admin not making more than $25 to fix grandpa's modem. The whole tech industry is designed to put the little guy out of business.

>>106150795
I have a helldesk job and I need to escape. At least go to a NOC

>>106150867
I'll take whatever. I work in car sales right now surrounded by retarded normies. They just hired me because I have Chad lite features but I honestly can't hold a conversation with anyone because they're so vapid. I want to work with autistic and robots.

>>106150867

Networking feels like a big club where you need experience to get experience and that's true, so do whatever you have to in order to get one of the network guys to let you hold the screw driver while he watches. Heck, walk in there and beg them to let you come in after hours with them to hold the back of the switch up while they mount it. I never would have turn a less experienced member down if they said they'd do the manual labor for me.

Of course the world is much more retarded now than when I was coming up, so maybe it is all impossible and no amount of shoe shining the senior guys will get you an ounce of experience...

Fuck off normalfag, we're full.

>>106150956
Call me a normalfag one more time...

My helldesk is for msps specifically and came with a helldesk/network tech i title. In reality all I do is tell boomers to unplug their router/stb/injector/ont/modem/tv/computer and plug it back in, tell boomers which port number and server name to use in microsoft outlook or ifag mail, or tell them to stop causing rogue dhcp because they plugged a router into a router in a loop. I hate boomers so much it's unreal and this is what they should have plus a crt plugged in with coax to the wall with only basic cable with a total of 5 channels; sportsball 1, insp (westerns), lifetime, fox news, and sportsball 2. They aren't competent enough to have anything more than this and should have a cowbell tied around their necks at all time. Telcos keep taking away traditional stbs and giving them firesticks with an app for live television and they simply cannot handle it. They also need a single landline phone with a wire and no buttons but the numbers and should not have a cell phone or a tablet or a computer.

hour, but only because the HR qt answered promptly

A month? Around 2008 when the economic crisis begun, so no it was not fun.

>>106148837 (OP)
Internship sophomore year. Internship junior year. Internship senior year. Job offer before graduation. Told the recruiter I wanted the summer off to travel and have fun before starting later this month, and they agreed.

Not IT, geography major here. 3 months in a research at other uni, a year with a contact on a mining company. They fired me in december because "muh company needs" and i still dont have a new job.

>>106148837 (OP)
I got a training job a few months after college in 2018, dropped it so I wasn't obligated to a pajeet contract job for pennies on the dollar, worked a local it job in C# before getting fired after too many issues with the place, worked fucking sales before landing a contract at a large company who then hired me fulltime 8 months later before the contract ran out. Been working there ever since (I am scared to find anything else)

you're a pedophile

>>106148837 (OP)
Graduated back in 09 and had a job lined up 6 months before I graduated.

>>106151844
Thanks for the compliment.

>>106151230
i did this except i just had an internship summer before senior year and i worked part time (just a few hours a week) while in school that year before getting an offer before grad. That was two years ago now

>>106148837 (OP)
I'm still in college. I'd also like some source on that pic rel please.

>>106151036

MSPs, I've never been desperate enough to work for one. In fact, the thought of cashing out my IRA and dodging the IRS sounds more appealing than working an MSP gig at any level.

>>106151007
that's momoi

>>106148837 (OP)
Dropped out and I started working the week after as a little IT admin. From then I got a job offer three years later, then got another job offer three years later after that. Everything is going fine, already know about accounting, telecommunications and health imaging industries.

>>106148837 (OP)
i started about 2 months after i graduated after bumming around at my brother's house

>>106148837 (OP)
eleven years

>>106152099
Sorry I meant to say ISPs, as in telcos. Phones, email, internet, television.
