10 dirty little secrets you should know about working in IT

| Thursday, July 21, 2011
10.) The pay in IT is good compared to many other professions, but since they pay you well, they often think they own you

Although the pay for IT professionals is not as great as it was before the dot-com flameout and the IT backlash in 2001-2002, IT workers still make very good money compared to many other professions (at least the ones that require only an associate’s or bachelor’s degree). And there is every reason to believe that IT pros will continue to be in demand in the coming decades, as technology continues to play a growing role in business and society. However, because IT professionals can be so expensive, some companies treat IT pros like they own them. If you have to answer a tech call at 9:00 PM because someone is working late, you hear, “That’s just part of the job.” If you need to work six hours on a Saturday to deploy a software update to avoid downtime during business hours, you get, “There’s no comp time for that since you’re on salary. That’s why we pay you the big bucks!”

9.) It will be your fault when users make silly errors
8.) You will go from goat to hero and back again multiple times within any given day
7.) Certifications won’t always help you become a better technologist, but they can help you land a better job or a pay raise

Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a
blog post or vice-versa? My site discusses a lot
of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.

If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to
my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear."
She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
