    Do I have ANY chance of getting a (real) IT job?

    Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. My opinion is, do not waste your money on a political science degree. Get your experience and as a "side project" start studying for certifications. I don't know your end goal but some good certs for starting out are ITIL Foundations and some HDI...

    Do I have ANY chance of getting a (real) IT job?

    I didn't read the other replies so I'm sorry if I duplicate what was already said. I started my IT career in Best Buy before it was "Geek Squad". It was by chance that I actually landed a job that fell under your definition of "real IT". It was a customer I was assisting from an engineering...

    Mortgage question

    to further elaborate, you can put money on the principle but it will not lower your payment. As was said, you would need to refinance for that.

    Health problems, doctors wanted... advice needed...

    Gluten can be extremely harmful if one develops an allergy. My mother was a very active person then started to feel tired, rundown, irritable, and depressed. She removed carbs and gluten from her diet and she is now back to they way she once was. Really look into it, it may just solve her...

    Health problems, doctors wanted... advice needed...

    I'm in now way a holistic person, but sometimes you need to look in that direction. Lets forget modern medicine here. Perhaps all her tests are showing normal because everything is. I would suggest trying out a low carb gluten free diet for a week. Cut out artificial things like splenda...

    PSA: Amazon Changes their Super Saver Shipping Requirement to $35

    Considering the deals that Amazon has, the customer service, the low cost of Prime and benefits it has, this really is not a huge deal. Amazon is and will remain one of the best retailers for the foreseeable future. This looks like an attempt to push Prime memberships. IMO the benefits of...

    So you want to play in the NFL?

    Tragic story, all that matters is the man is happy with his decisions. However, horrible writing by that reporter. I don't understand how some of the people that write these articles in this manner keep their jobs, it's atrocious.

    is 650$ a good car rental rate for cross-country 2-week 1-way trip?

    Sometimes people enjoy a long drive and stop along the way for various visits. Personally, IF I had the time, I would drive from PA to CA over flying.

    Had to put our 4 month old puppy down Wednesday

    Wow that little guy looked like he had one hell of a personality. So sorry for your loss... I believe you made the right decision, forcing him to suffer would have been selfish.

    Computer Information Systems B.S.

    I went to school for IT, but it's amazing that types of "network admins" I see in my company. Some were civil and structural engineers, others were CAD managers and then there are some that just fell into the position because the knew how to install software.

    Ooops. Have I done ****** up?

    I did something similar once... I did not read the ticket fully and never submitted payment with my not guilty plea. A warrant for my arrest was filed, so I can guarantee there will be one for you. However, they do not want to actually spend the resources to come get you... A phone call on...

    Thanks China and The FDA!

    I don't think the inclusion of pollen is a good or bad thing health wise, it is simply stating that the removal of pollen shows the possibility that the honey came from a source that is not optimal. It is then untraceable so it could have come from China.

    Restaurant bans kids under 6 years old

    I for one totally support this decision and I congratulate him for taking this stance. As a father of twin boys, which are 4 years old, I can understand why some people do not want children around them at a nice formal dinner. My kids are extremely well behaved when we go out to eat because...
