tim_s Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi Everyone, I have been a long time reader of both the articles and the forums. Many of times I have had an opinion and just thought ? IF I had an account I could express them LOL Anyways, so as my first post I was curious what the division of forum users are either, A: Work in an IT enviroment Or B: Just love Computers / Electronics Would love to hear back from people ? Myself I have been within the IT world for over 10 years. QUESTION: Do you work in an IT enviroment or do you just enjoy computers / electronics?

Mystic Mungis Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm at uni just now doing a degree in Multimedia Technology but on my days off I fix and build computers for people in the area and also help some local businesses with setting up networks, upgrading, tech support etc. Also yes I love technology, I'm not obsessed with gadgets or anything but I love getting myself something new to play with every so often and like to keep up with current tech news. Ohh and welcome to the forums :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusi0n Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Trying to get into IT because I love technology. I'm thinking about getting my Network+ and maybe even Novel certs. Currently have my IC3, but that's easy stuff. Not sure If I would put too much in to Novell unless there is a place you want to work at really bad that still uses a lot of Novell.. Just my two cents.. If you get hired on, you will learn 100x more in two weeks than you would in a class room.. Certs are good, especially for getting that first job.. but I would focus more into Cisco (that is where the money is at) and VmWare.. Yes, I work in IT and I love technology.. I am a system admin and have a love/hate relationship with my job.. I'm sure every System Admin from middle to large companies will understand.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm an Electrical Engineer by trade, but I do IT(ish) consulting on the side. It's relaxing and fun to work with clients. Definitely love electronics. A big reason for becoming an Engineer was so I could afford my gf and plenty of toys for myself. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
