Don't think I've got anything specific to offer
My wife is off out as she offered her services to a friend to "help" build her daughters birthday present play kitchen. Which means she'll do it all for her whilst being plied with tea and funny south african dried meats. how the fuck can anyone under 99 be too scared to build something from IKEA? Christ...

Bulding stuff is easy
how the hell could anyone feel intimidated??

Then again I struggle to understand why anyone would NOT want to work in IT, so I'm clearly wrong somehwere.

because you don't get paid very much to do a job that will always be a case of "i can't actually know everything and you're probably doing it wrong but i'm not allowed to tell you that you're a tit"

Nah, that's user support
stay round the back with the flashy lights and the machines that crush your feet. Much more fun.

I din't think I got paid tooooo badly personally. Thanks for leting me know though!

well see you said "work in IT" like there was only one way to work in IT.
if you'd considered all of IT, you might be able to understand why anyone would not want to work in it.

Well if you do one of those "Get a job in IT" courses from out of off of the telly
then yeah sure, you deserve all you get if you think that is "in IT"

erm, those people DO want to work in IT. that's why they take a course.
YOUR POINT IS SHIFTING AND PROBABLY INVALID.

NO NO I'm just saying that's not IT, just just help desk shit which coincides with computers
big difference

My point is I like clever computery things, so everyone should!

...it kind of is IT. Server admin and even programming skills are often involved in the same job as "helpdesk shit"

Being a dental receptionist doesn't make you a dentist by association.
it makes you annoying, that's what.

working in IT doesn't just mean the man in the server room, that's all.
to say it does makes you look like a pillock.
