So on May 15th I'll be graduating with my BS in information systems technologies. I have a few years experience at an ISP doing tech support and then networking stuff for them such as customer installs and office stuff. My other job was working for our sister company, a CLEC, as the unix sys admin. I run the freebsd servers, setup their firewall, setup a mail solution with spam and virus filtering, the webservers, backup solution, etc.
I need to be deciding what to do with my apartment lease today. How long do you think it will take me to find an IT job? I'd really like something concentrating on networking or security, not just like pulling disks out of floppy drives. I figure it would be best for me to keep my current jobs until I find a new one but its hard to find places that rent month to month here.
I know there are alot of you who don't work in IT that think the situation is miserable and it will be years so if you would like to share your perhaps far too grim opinion I would appreciate it if you specify that you can't back it up as an IT worker. I don't think the outlook is all that bad but I'm guessing maybe 3-6 months for something good. I'm willing to relocate to pretty much anywhere too. Washington would probably be prefered though.
