OptionsTesseracT Member Posts: 167You guys like working for schools? Never actually worked for one before but have often gone in on a contract role for network upgrades. I think working for a school would sap the last remaining parts of my humanity...

Optionschrisone Member Posts: 2,278 ■■■■■■■■■□I dont work for a school district either, i passed up on it for my current job. I work in the finance industry as a network engineer. So we are heavy on compliance and security. Its fun i get my fair share of firewall day to day hands on.
Career wise it was obvious to choose my current job over any school district position. However you cannot beat the job environment of the school district.Certs: CISSP, EnCE, OSCP, CRTP, eCTHPv2, eCPPT, eCIR, LFCS, CEH, SPLK-1002, SC-200, SC-300, AZ-900, AZ-500, VHL:Advanced+

OptionsPishof Member Posts: 193I work in a K-12. Benefits are not good unless you're in the teacher's union. Understandable pay is going to be lower than private industry and budget's are more controlled by government regulation. Pay in Midwest is especially bad.
However, I'm in a jack of all trades role and I have great opportunity to work with a vast degree of different technologies. I assume it'd be different in a larger corporation if you were just a building tech restricted to a helpdesk role but a network engineer would be a relatively low-stress role in school.Courses Left for WGU BS - IT: NA:

Well two things that lead me to my job were the chances of working with more security technologies and the pay was better.Certs: CISSP, EnCE, OSCP, CRTP, eCTHPv2, eCPPT, eCIR, LFCS, CEH, SPLK-1002, SC-200, SC-300, AZ-900, AZ-500, VHL:Advanced+
