The firm I am interning for decided that they do not need another full time IT support guy in the summer so they decided not to hire me full time. What should I do for work now?

I have:

Associates in Computer Systems Technology

3 years work experience

(Serious answers only please, from experienced members)

Look for another IT support job, give up and find another line of work, ???

If IT is your thing then look for another job, should not be that hard to find a position seeing you already have a few years under your belt.

I got a AAS (associates in applied science, networking), and I'm having the same problem. Right now, I do help desk for State parks for like $10 an hour, 40 hours a week. Alright job, but it like THE ONLY job of it's kind in my shitty little area. If I was'nt doing this, I'd prolly be working at Burger King or Ruby Tuesdays. Trying to figure out if I wanna go to another 2 years at the Univeristy, and struggle through a BA in something computer related which is getting under my skin more and more, or say screw it, and go for something more towards how my moods have been changing (History, Fine arts, Drama, etc). Whatcha call a quarter life crisis I guess I dunno. If you really like computer stuff, I'd keep goin man. Get yourself A+/Net+ certified, throw in a couple microsoft/cisco certs. Add a BA to that, and you'll make bank, and be in high demand. Prolly have to move down round the city though (Balt/DC/Virginia is where I would have to go to get a well-paid IT job). I'm just sorta gettin bored with the whole desk-jokey, nerdy-coworker industry already, almost like I'm stuck in "Office Space" or somthing.

I'd say stick with IT if that's your thing.

Any thoughts or ambitions to go back to school though and get the bachelor's? Never a bad idea if the job hunt doesn't go how you'd like it to. Don't settle for something that you're not into at any rate.

Consulting experienced people with jobs is a smart, resourceful thing to do.

Thanks to everyone who posted their experiences/ advice.

I'm sick of the college scene. I'm ready to settle down and get a job, even if it isn't very exciting. You have to start somewhere ya know?

Getting certifications is something that I have to look into though. They mean a ton in the IT field and you can take them on your leisure time.

Good luck man. I'm going to UMASS next year for Computer Systems Information so I hope you can get a job (which means I might be able to).
