Sup IT brehs
I'm just a youngin starting out in the field (graduating this spring majoring in IS) in need of some career advice..
Currently I work at my school as a computer lab coordinator for the department. I do basic shyt like format hard drives, simple virus removal, swap hard drives, troubleshoot and shyt like that. However, the pay is crap I'm only here for the experience.
Now the question I have is would taking the job below be a smart career move if I'm trying to get into networking later and will this position supplement the call center phase from an experience stand-point?
Computer Technician
Installs department computer hardware and software programs. Performs preventive maintenance tasks, troubleshoots, repairs computer systems and peripheral equipment. Assists in some networking functions; provides support in day-to-day operations of local area networks. Provides data entry support and database management for the department. Works with other departments to solve networking and application issues that affect the users. This position will commit to fostering an environment of heightened security following Information Technology Security Policies and participating in security training, such as Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), on an annual basis.
(Hourly Salary Range: $14.54 - $18.61 - $22.68)
I plan on making the high end of this spectrum since I completely shatter all the requirements their asking for.
Its my own fault. Trying to do too much too soon. I vow to have this down pat in a few weeks :ppvbro:
Of Course
Damn breh you got to know that off the top of your head. I would google all popular port numbers under 1024 and make a poster out of it.
Also buy a couple of the MS books, they come with 6 month trial editions. Set up a virtual lab etc.

Yeah, I've been down this road myself and until I became a full-time programmer, I was doing way too much.
I was trying to improve my skills in the following areas all at once:
-Linux
-Linux OS development
-Windows development
-SQL Server
-Exchange
-.NET Programming/Game Programming & Scripting
-Networking security etc.
-Cisco switches & Routers.
Yes, I was literally switching between books all the time, because I wanted to know all of these areas. Then I was like there's just no way you can master all of these subjects, sure I could hold a conversation in just about any of these topics( outside of Cisco stuff ) but I felt I could never be at the top switching back and forth. Decided to just focus on programming/game programming. Forget everything else.

for the brehs who have help desk experience, can any of you give some examples of times when you had to troubleshoot a problem for a user? like a step by step process on what the problem was and how you came about solving and fixing it? I heard that interviewers ask those type of scenario questions and since I don't have any experience I want to make sure I know what the hell I am talking about.
