Good god, they want bachelors degrees now for what I do!

[Deja Q]

A job opened in Mankato. PC/network support specialist.

It's everything I do - minus some Access programming/reports creation.

Bachelor's Degree is required.

What's the pay? $12.00-$12.50 per hour.

SMURF THEM.

1. This is the 'free market' at work.

Hold your head up. You are worth more.
Eventually Americans will remember how to strike.

3. Hopefully... my job is stressful, not glamorous, and $12/hr is shit pay.

I'm amazed at how the market has opened up, though for ridiculous credentials and for such appallingly low pay.

I found 2 jobs that pay a wage worth considering. I am applying for those.

I'm still angry at these fuckers who are trying to mooch off hard, versatile workers who want to be loyal and do a good job.

2. part of "no child left behind"

is to require a bachelor's degree for substitute teachers and teacher's aides.

Who basically make minimum wage. If they're lucky.

4. So, they want this poor SOB to

maintain at least one server as well as do desktop, with a BS, not for a salary, but for an hourly wage (and what a wage!)

Remember when it was fun to work in IT...... ?

5. A long time ago... It's very sad. Corporate traitors...

Maintain a server and its data.

Create programs and generate reports using data - if it gets mangled by accident...

Maintain strict security so no bugger can be malicious too...

You'd think these skills would be valuable as the friggin' company can't survive without them. D-U-H. So, they spit on the people stupid enough to be in this field, go figure... :eyes:
