Ahhh, the life of a college student. I went from a night owl and barely waking up by 10am to now going to bed at 10pm and getting up at 5am (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)


I too, am in IT. I work in Network Security for a Gubment contractor, so we deal with firewalls, intrustion detection, anti-virus, you name it. This is my 4th position since starting there. My first spot was on the Helpdesk, answering phones 8 hrs a day. I worked that position for 10 months, then moved up the ranks. In May, I will have been there for 3 years.

It's a fun position and a lot of work - things are always changing, so that keeps things exciting.

However, I am looking around for a job closer to home. I have had two interviews with two separate companies and they're still taking their time on a decision. Sitting on pins and needles.

Good luck and start interning. I work in Telecommunications (data, voice, and cable TV) for my college part-time. Hours were SUPER flexible as they knew you were a college student. It was a fun job and looks good on the resume.
