Go into sales! I now sell office equipment after 17 years of suppoorting and installing. I sell them and make two to three times what I made as IT.

[SilentJay]

^^^ I gave thought to that. I did really well as a FS sales person, I just couldn't lie very well, so my PSP% was low. Any leads/suggestions on how to get into that?

[jaimie08mazda3]

I used to be in IT for 7 years got bored wanted to do something else. Now, I'm working for a narcotics distribution center of one of the largest drug stores in canada. Pays good and awesome benefits, so, cant complain...

[SilentJay]

:P Lots of bailing out of IT, understandably so. Just don't know what else to go into. I have a PM cert, but can't seem to get my foot in the door either.

[Iceman_F1]

I dunno. I enjoy working in IT. As long as I don't have to do call center type stuff, I'm usually ok with it. My issue is co-workers and people I support :chuckle

Though always on the lookout for something better/closer to home.

Are you sure it's your co-workers and everyone else and not just you?

Just asking!

When it's people that don't even know how to push a button properly to turn on a computer or a monitor, I'm pretty sure it's not me :chuckle

[Noisy Crow]

Well _obviously_ you need to do a better job of training them! :)

[Iceman_F1]

Well _obviously_ you need to do a better job of training them! :)

lol...I've actually trained quite a few how to do some things which helps. But there's only 1 way to turn a monitor on in my office...and apparently no amount of training seems to work in that respect with some of the people...

[Cardinal Fang]

I have to agree. I'm frequently one of THOSE people.

*Still thinks the DVD tray is some type of cup holder*

[SilentJay]

:P I spend most of my days putting out fires that people that highly-paid "supposed" SMEs, themselves, start. That part I don't mind so much, it's the accusatory finger pointing in my direction afterwards, that bothers me.

[Krakor]

When it's people that don't even know how to push a button properly to turn on a computer or a monitor, I'm pretty sure it's not me :chuckle


Or maybe you haven't trained them properly to know where to look for the button? Or maybe once they found it how to use the button?
I see some issues here that you have obviously overlooked. Maybe it is you?!

I think I just proved it!
:chuckle

[DumpInfo]

Also worked in IT for 3 years and I knew I was coming at a dead end. Wages weren't great and jumped into trades. Been doing plumbing for a little less then 3 years now and wages + benefits couldn't be better. Only wished I would have jumped into this from the start!

SilentJay or anyone else considering the trades field if you do get into it make sure you get into a Union (wages + benefits are good)

I'm all over the place. Currently third year economics at Laurier, and likely dabbling in land/real-estate development after graduation.

Hows is that? I want switch careers lol

lol, it's crazy most of the time...are you wanting to be an ECE? It's really rewarding sometimes though!

[prinsesa]

lol, it's crazy most of the time...are you wanting to be an ECE? It's really rewarding sometimes though!

Well, I love kids!! Haha. Im a social worker, its kind of within the same field. My job stresses me out to the max right now lol Maybe ECE would be a little bit more chilling ? lol

[project_axela]

lol, well I wouldn't rely on that cuz it's pretty stressful sometimes too! lol, sometimes I drive home with no music on because I just need SILENCE! lol...also it's very physically demanding because you're constantly picking kids up, and running around with them and lifting heavy toys...blah, blah, blah. lol, give it a try if you feel up for it, cuz it can be really fun sometimes. I'm with preschool aged children (2.5-3.5) and I think it's the cutest age cuz they are just starting to talk and they still have that "baby" talk sound. Very cute. Beware though- potty training is NO fun!

Damn, you have to potty train them ?? Hmm lol
Well I really only dealt with adults really lol Probably need to get my ECE before I can get a job huh?
Maybe its not a stressful free job as I thought it was hahaha!
To be honest, I really dont mind walking around and stuff, I need to get my fatass off a chair anyways since thats what I do all day, sit on a chair and interview people, do office work, etc.

[project_axela]

Yeah, go have to get your ECE diploma from college. It's a 2 year program, pretty easy. But that allows you to work with babies 3 months- 10 years old. So, if you end up working with a younger, or older, age group you wouldn't have to worry about potty training. :bang

lol, it's fun though. You definately have to LOVE kids to do it everyday.

[Tizmee24]

Lucky for you guys working in clean and quiet environment ...
