Hi Bob,

I dont really have much to offer but just some descriptions about my job. I am a PC technician working in an IT department which consists of two people. There are some servers for email and other softwares that the law firms uses and they are integrated to work together. My main job is to make sure that everybody can be working on a computer and some etc stuff. I am currently working to support myself through school hopefully and to get some job experience. It wont be like what you imagined. Most of the times, I am configuring personal settings and fixing hardware and software problems. However, I cannot imagining myself working there as a full-time career. I would think I would go nuts. I am not sure if networking engineering is the same thing such as maintaining servers and etc. Hope, my little information helped you. Most of the time, it would be ok to goof off but when you are in trouble, you are in trouble with server problems and etc...
