Thread: What kind of work do you do?

I work at a Corvette restoration and reproduction company. In customer service now but have done about every job in the company.

Not bad. Everyone wants "The cloud" nowadays so the game is changing, but... still deal with dumb users, dumb software and failing hardware!

Are you in the field yet? What area are you trying to get in to? Learn what you can about virtualization... that's where it's at now. VMWare ESXi!

i did work at a factory welding but now im waiting to go to college to be a mechanic

Been doing IT for something like 9 years. Been between jobs for a while, and it's been phenomenal for my sanity. Every problem I deal with in the day is strictly my own.

People in my classes are getting boners over setting up 3 different OS's and messing around in VMware studio 9 or whatever that virtual program is. I'm not a big fan of that. I like to be more hands on than programming and all that logic crap. Right now i'm in this VMware clase with operating systems n virtualization, networking class, HTML Java class, and intro o algorithms and programming. Not my cup of tea.

So you'd rather put together/configure servers, switches, cabling, etc? I'm not one for programming either. I'm sort of a mix between hardware/sotware... just depends on the client I'm at. Built a terminal server last year with 256GB of ram! That was nuts.

Just make sure you learn your programming anyway. Otherwise, you'd be like a mechanic that doesn't want to learn electrical. At the very least, scripting will make your life easier at some point. I can't walk around outside without tripping over Java jobs.

Agreed! Basics like simple dos commands, visual basic... even some VBA will all be helpful. On the software side, makes software deployment much easier when pushing out via group policy, etc.

Depends on how big that spider was... they can get pretty big.
