Being on call is part of the job right? People who become firemen know that they could die on the job or be called in when ever.
If i could get my own company started and start baniking...ill just paysome one to be on call all the time lol...and ill put for phone away while im on vacation :haha:
i heard someone on here say one time "work hard in your 20's and play in your 30's" i like that saying and plan on using it. and i think im contimplating a job change after this week.mustangman70 said:Well thats why im glad im still young....ill work my ass off untill im 35-40 and hopefully be set for the rest of my life...
thats my main problem, since im so young everyone gives me chitProtowrxs said:MustangMan70 the key is doing something you like. If you don't have the interest, any job sucks. I've been in I.T. since the early 80's (before it was called I.T.) and it can be demanding but I enjoy it.
It all depends on the company, the position, the staff you have that works for you or with you and how well you maintain your network, servers, etc, on how much time it burns.
I still can't see the demand for knowledgeable I.T. people going away as the world continues to get more automated.
Good luck!

I started in networking while in collage while I was working on my BSEE worked as an electrical engineer for a while and now I’m a project engineer68torinogt said:what did you move too
Yah I am glad I stuck with it just remember it is not too late and if I can get one, anyone can.StangDreamin' said:I'd have gone back to school and finished that BSEE!
I have several friends that have tried this and a couple of them are very successful but it is really not a fun life they are on call all the time and because they support small companies that response is key.mustangman70 said:Ever think about starting your own networking company? That doesn’t sound too dead end to me
If you're the GBM, computer type stuff DOES "involve fire, loud noises, blood, guts, puke, and gobs of adrenaline."hungrymonkey said:I like computer type stuff. But I like my rear end hemorrhoid free. I cannot stand sitting in any one position for extended amounts of time.
That added to my ADD and me being a chronic procrastinator. I would not do very well.
So unless it involves fire, loud noises, blood, guts, puke, and gobs of adrenaline. Then its not for me.
So I became a fireman/paramedic.
