Working in IT

Was IT being the coolest, exciting, most awesome career path ever actually just a meme?

Answer your own question then

I enjoy the IT world but honestly I learned the hard way that what you know means nothing in this field and its all about who knows you and likes you

Being smart or good in IT means nothing without anyone being your friend in the office

Third company/job, same mistake. I'm anti-social and cant make friends at work

It's just work. Having worked as forklift driver, shift worker at factory, welder and salaryman it's just somewhat better work most of the time. I honestly miss forklift driving and welding days every once in a while. Putting things together in factory had its own charm too. Only salaryman bullshit I don't miss one second ever.

It was genuinely awesome career path until Pajeets happened.

as time flies ,since 80-ties, old rich fucks(who dont get computers) try to engage as many young people in IT(and make overabundance of work force) so they can push this whole "computer business" into blue collar tier..

All IT corps do is makes everything as simple as possible so even retards can work.
Notice more and more dudeBros, dumb bitches, street gang members,jocks, feminists in programming departments=Java,Pyton,C#

I'm working in IT right now. Bored out of my mind because I have nothing to do at work at the moment.

There are no pajeets where I work (at a university). They're all CS grad students working in tutoring labs. I'm learning actual enterprise-level skills.

Recentfrendo here, what's the story on OP pic related? I've seen it posted before but I just noticed he has Jow Forums open; is that real or edited in? Did the kid himself post all the photos with his new epic gayming daily driver rig(tm)?

VIP on site tech support.

You unironically flirt with 9/10+ chicks, get gifts, expensive meals and get invited to rich fuck parties while having a great salary. Enough time to self learn and study serious IT stuff.

t. used to do that stuff 6 years ago

Most definitely. What am I supposed to look forward to? Any way I look at this, wageslaving in IT is a dead end.

Why was this kid even given these monster gpus?

How do I get that job user, pls tell.

I'd think it's always been a meme.
If you are in IT support you are going to get tired with the amount of retardation people have around computers.
I worked in a School where teachers were given laptops and they never turned them off, only closed the lid. They acted surprised when a restart fixed more than 85% of their problems.
It's also a pain in the ass when people do stupid shit with their devices and when they don't work they claim that they dindu nuffin, it just happened

Can confirm. I used to enjoy fixing people's computer problems until I had to do it for a job. The level of incompetence and sheer dumbfuckery at times put a bad taste in my mouth for fixing shit. Now all I do is program, hoping nothing takes the fun out of that for me.

obvioulsly to play minecraft in 1080p HD

Don't welders make good money? What made you switch up professions?

I love this picture so much becase
>$1500 in vidya cards
>1080p 60hz shit monitors

It's like dropping $5k on surround sound and a 4k bluray collection and finally busting out a vizio 1080p tv you picked up at walmart

I'm a "support specialist" for an insurance company and hired directly by them. It's a huge improvement when they decided to focus a lot on HR compared to when the HR department didn't exist.

As a path, it would depend on a lot of factors. Building good rapport with the people at the higher end of the hierarchy would be very beneficial, network with them but don't get too chummy. If you're going to look for a better job, having the Vice President of Operations or the CTO as the reference on your resume would be great.

But don't be a slacker or a stuck up fuck about it. Not everyone is as skilled or knowledgeable about technology as you, and it will get tiring and annoying most of the time when people ask you for the most stupid shit. Don't be like this two idiots
Always remember, you're disposable, and Sanjeev will do the same job you do for far less money and be ten times more grateful about it.

It was certainly the best paying work I've ever had. But I wouldn't call it cool/exciting/awesome. I wasn't all that good at it anyway.

you love it or hate it. There is no way around. Check the videos of "Eli the computer guy" to see how a 40 yo IT guy looks like

>Worked in IT for a month now
Right you need to be very specific here about what you do on a day to day. There is IT and then there is IT. The guy who pxe boots machines and hands out cables is still classed as IT, despite doing shit and knowing shit, while the guy who manages vms and never touches scrublords desktops is IT as well, despite there being little in common between them.

Or nowadays you're like me the only IT guy in the whole company and you do EVERYTHING
