    My point is this. Rather than supporting an up to date network with latest technologies which would only develop maintenance skills, you have a massive oportunity that many IT guys may not have had. You will witness and probably take part in deploying a new network. In a later job you may see the same issues and you will have had 1st hand knowledge of how it is resolved.

    There is more good points to your job than bad.

    And this guy you work with who you say knows nothing. You may be right but it will take time before people listen to you before him.

    +1.

    I agree. I wish i were hired on at my current position about a year before i was. I missed out on switching everything from leased lines to vpn and the majority of the infrastructures restructuring. I have a firm grasp of our network and why it is the way that it is, however i do not grasp it aswell as my coworker that basically designed it all.

    Hi

    My advice to all new techy's is this. Find a job that has the worst PC's and the slowest network, this will truly give you the experiance you need in order to develop your troubleshooting skills.

    And like i said before, if the company can install some new technology you will get experiance of that too.

    My 2 years in the secondary school gave me knowledge and experiance i would not have got had it been already updated.

    Sounds like a backstep but trust me, you will learn a lot more.
