A job opened in Mankato. PC/network support specialist.
It's everything I do - minus some Access programming/reports creation.
Bachelor's Degree is required.
What's the pay? $12.00-$12.50 per hour.
SMURF THEM.

1. This is the 'free market' at work. |

Hold your head up. You are worth more. Eventually Americans will remember how to strike.

3. Hopefully... my job is stressful, not glamorous, and $12/hr is shit pay. |
|
I'm amazed at how the market has opened up, though for ridiculous credentials and for such appallingly low pay.
I found 2 jobs that pay a wage worth considering. I am applying for those.
I'm still angry at these fuckers who are trying to mooch off hard, versatile workers who want to be loyal and do a good job.

4. So, they want this poor SOB to |
|
maintain at least one server as well as do desktop, with a BS, not for a salary, but for an hourly wage (and what a wage!)
Remember when it was fun to work in IT...... ?

5. A long time ago... It's very sad. Corporate traitors... |
|
Maintain a server and its data.
Create programs and generate reports using data - if it gets mangled by accident...
Maintain strict security so no bugger can be malicious too...
You'd think these skills would be valuable as the friggin' company can't survive without them. D-U-H. So, they spit on the people stupid enough to be in this field, go figure... :eyes:
