Hotel receptionist is the thing.


Hey it's good news that you got some job :nod:
Bad news that it makes internet life a bit difficult.

But I hope you get things somehow worked out.
Habeeb it...

That's good to hear, man - make sure you keep in touch every now and then, though. Work = good. :nod:

Future/Current occupations
Current job: systems administrator at Cisco Systems. [What this means is that I sit on my ass all damn day and contemplate creative ways to kill myself or others and read HLP. I never have any actual work to do. This is about the worst job I can imagine, but the pay is pretty decent.]

Future job: Bricklayer, cabling installer, fast food, whatever. My next job will likely not include computers except tangentially.

For those of you who are looking to get into IT: don't just get a CS or CS/IT degree and expect to be useful. The market is saturated. Right now, there's ten graduates for every single position out there. That means you're going to have to have either a) Mad Skillz (and not in Squadwar) or b) a combination of skills that is very useful (like a programmer with mad RDBMS skills, or a sysadmin who groks sub-packet level network mojo). Joe CompSci graduate is pretty well useless out here right now. Go for a Master's degree in a useful discipline. Believe me, it will make a huge difference.

Steak: you're going to become a minister? I'm not sure if I should be scared or awed. ;)

I'm currently enroled in the faculty of education at McGill in the process of getting my Bachelors of education to teach the social sciences at the High School level.

Jumped around before, I as previously at Concordia University studying History for a year and a half, and Comp. Sci for one semester.

Seemed to have found a profession I'm really enjoying so far, though I've got another 2 1/2 years to go.

Cheers!

I actually haven't the foggiest idea about Cisco certs. I don't have any. I'll see what I can find out though. As for the job, it's yours as soon as I move to Australia and take up bricklaying.

our high school offers the class.  if you want to take it in college, you can, but as far as i know you don't need any books, the curriculum (for us anyway) is 100% online

Even I don't know what I do for a living, but I work in a Training centre for 16-18 year olds from less advantaged backgrounds (Trans : They're good kids, but it's like living in a rap video half the time) the pay is bad :(
