Do you work in IT?

[tim_s]

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?

[SinghKing]

Yes and Yes :)

[Detection]

A - Used to

B - Still do

I work in IT because I love Technology.

I do both, work in the IT field and love technology.

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.

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 :)

I work in IT . I am a Network Technician at a library. I am in this field because I love computers and electronics. Work is much easier and a lot of fun when your career is what you like to do.

[Aergan]

Yes and yes.

i work in IT, but i dont particularly like the business side of technology. i dont want to administer Exchange, or work in DNS or AD. But, of course, i have to. i enjoy the consumer side way more.

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

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:

[techbeck]

yup
