Working in IT

New2ITinCali

I have been employed as an I.T. Support Specialist for 6 months now after 2 years of searching for a job. I love my job! I couldn't ask for a better entry level position as I am learning so much! I am beginning to feel as if I.T. is almost like working in the medical field. I say this because my company really depends on us! There is also alot of overtime and we are constantly needed! I really enjoy my work, but I didn't know I would feel so depended on by lots of people who look at me as their "hero".

Happy for you buddy yes, comparing IT to the medical sector is a great analogy. It makes you feel like you're a life saver

I love nailing spammers at our data centre. Makes me feel like a cop.

"Here are their TCP **** with connections to a million SMTP servers and a regular connection pattern suggesting an automated mailer. Here are the blacklists for the IPs that were verified clean when assigned to the client. Here is a sample "buy viagra now" email fragment sniffed with Wireshark. Here is a Spamhaus blog entry regarding their office's IP address and connections of their company to known spammers. Your honour, the client has been disconnected, and I request the client is terminated immediately."

"Give them 24 hours to get their data off the server. Good work, officers."

Yep IT departments are relied on heavily these day. With all the technology advancements, and such. Seems like we deploy new technology every few months, and with that comes a whole set of new issues. Don't let it get to you, take it as a challenge.
