We can get BRAC'd though.

True. I do find it funny that they mention on the open army job positions if the job you're applying for is a BRAC installation.

Not to be debbie downer but read up on h1b visas a little. Small local gigs is a smart plan though, unless they use a hiring company they usually don't have the means to get ahold of h1b tech workers.

I know what you mean... But I have a few people in the tech field that could get my foot in the door. The local gigs I'd be looking at would be straight on through where ever it is and I dont see them hiring asians for $5 to run a small network like I intend to do. Just something I've been looking in to recently. You seem to know alot more than I do about it... but I thought I had a decent plan. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Small company gigs are part of the niche market, better chance than a big corporation moving forward. Just keep in mind as tech workers at big corporations get replaced that will create a surplus of available unemployed American workers that can do your job and will be willing to do so for less wages.

I'm a pessimist though, things aren't usually as shitty to other people as I find them to be.

why do people always want stuff the easy way?

I went to school for 3 years and LOVE my job.

Id rather get paid what I get paid now than to make twice as much and hate it.

Put together a business plan and get your hands on some of that "bail out" cash.

The way I see it, if I get in with a small company and do my job well and give them no reason to want any one else I'll be ok. I think I'd have a solid position as long as I performed like they wanted me to.

I too am a pessimist, but I'm trying to get out of it. Thanks for the encouragement, *******. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif j/k

Physical Therapist Assistant is 2 years in school, and they make good money, and its easy.

PTA's make little compared to PT's. i mean my girl is a PT with her Masters, makes $30/hour. the PTA's make less than $20 and average about $12-15. I made more than $20/hr as an installer.

i think you should find what you really want to do, because before you know it and try to follow your own path you will be caught up in another job.

Maintenance engineer. Find the right job, and it can be very well paid. That means no town, city, hotel, apartment. The real money is in Office, fed, and other private sectors. A good facilities director can make $ 100k/yr easy.

go into the engineering feilds, good pay and should interest u seeing as u like to build things or else you wouldnt be on this forum

i enjoy being in school for mechanical engineering. its hard but i would assume everything is hard in college ha
