what stuff does a network technician do?

Eat about a dozen donuts drink allot of coffee and tell people "No the system is running fine, you just don't know how to use a computer" and go back to reading their magazine. 🙂
 
You forgot: peruse message boards looking for smartass comments so that we can fsck with them later. 😛
 
Russ,
You mean to tell me that the restroom is NOT my office?

Mental note to self: Remove desk, phone, and computer out of bathroom stall.
 
bwahahahahah

But to answer your question a network technitian generally installs/troublshoots network communications equipment and cabling. Generally considered an entry level position it is a good place to start it you want to "get the green off ya!" as it is very hands on.

1st job in 1990 - "network technitian". No kidding.

<edit> not first job, just first job in my field
 
They decide to quit their jobs in the middle of a technology employment recession 🙂

<-- just gave 3 weeks notice

Edit: Opps, Network Technitions generally do entry level stuff, and ususlly get the most hands on experience.

Network Engineers and Consultants do the above 🙂
 
Xanathar: heh. 🙂

Play nice now. You never know who you maybe talking to for a job one day. 😉 But, yes. Network technicians do more entry level, and depending on your organization, probably more hands on stuff.

We don't really have network technicians where I work. At least not in the true sense of the word. So the budding netengs (aka ME!) get to do a lot of the hands on stuff.

You really think that field is in a bit of recession? I think there's still a very strong demand for good qualified people in networking. Some of the people I talk with these days who call themselves network consulants...they couldn't tell me what TCP/IP is...and I wish I were kidding about that. So, if that weeds out those bozos then I'm all for it.
 
i'm a network tech right now, and that first description is sooooo true. I sit in my office, and watch my D.net stats on the TA proxies for a good portion of the day, lol!!
