Virtualization is awesome. Just upgraded from stand alone virtual servers to SCVMM from Micorosft and it is amaizing. Blackberries and smart phones in general are changing the way people communicate. Managed wireless systems are fun to play with. And tech podcasts like TWiT make me feel more connected since I am in a rural Alabama town and not too many real techies around to talk about this stuff with.

Yet they are all clueless :). But I still enjoy my job because of my coworkers in IT, they are usually people that share common interests.

But maybe that's because I hardly get in touch with users. I don't know. I am a database consultant (I guess that is the word) and I worked at many customer's sites for short and long assignments. I think that what made IT more fun was that I changed. I learned to get much more savvy at communicating and guarding what I deem acceptable. And I did not learn that on a training my boss sent me.

But where I work the average age is 52 and I'm 23. Nobody wants to try anything new regardless of how much it will help them. It is nice to know that every company needs IT though. At least my interests will be relevant to other companies. Being geek is becoming more cool, and people now start to understand my gadget obsession (most importantly my girlfriend).

I work a helpdesk because out of school it's the only job I could find, my CS degree is useless. Users are not less clueless, they only think they are, which is a bad thing. the deluge of new gadgets has caused me to have to deal with numerous nightmares as well as telling Iphone users they can't sync thier phone to our exchange server because it's not secure, and other such issues. Not to mention the jocks who went to business school still make 10X as much as I do, and all the cuts never come from them, they come from us. Now is the worst time to work in IT, and Iw ould never have majored in Computer Science had I known. I would have gotten by business degree and have a joke of a job where I go out drinking making infinately more money. Working in IT has never been less fun.
