Whats your job?

[Sgt_B]

Just kind of curious as to who everyone is, and what kind of jobs you have. I'm 25, and realizing that working with networks, computers and such is going to be my career. There are so many roads to go down, and learning security is just one of them. Thats why I love doing what I do, and talking to people in the same field.
So I was wondering what you do.

Talk to you later.

I am tech support.Woo Hoo. I deal with the retards who dial into our servers asking us "what do i do now when i am online" I then ask if they are previose AOL users.Surpise Surprise they are. I tell them to click the "little blue e." Oh my god the ignorance.

[Sgt_B]

Haha KoprDeath sounds like the same thing as me. We only have 3 people in our network team, and should probably have 3 more. So we all have to know everything. We specialize a little but thats it. We even have to do tech support! WOOHOO! We have users all over North America, so occasionnaly we have to ask the users to ship their machines to us. I had this one guy ship me his laptop. He took a manilla envelope, droped his laptop in there, put a few stamps on it, and dropped in a US mail bin. I get the laptop a week later, and the thing has a 2 inch cut right through the middle....you wanna talk about ignorance??
haha

[llipschutz]

I'm just a kid (Yes, I admit that, I'm only 17). . .I worked as a network admin for some local hospitals, and I'm a part-time tech at a local repair shop. . .I have always had a knack for security, but I'm better at setting it up than breaking it down. (I've locked myself out of my own box too many times to remember)

[{P²P}Apocalypse]

I own a small company that outsources to small business's that have a need for IT support personel. But don't need any or can't afford any in company full time help. We provide everthing from network installation, system builds, database/sql, web design, programing, or just about anything else that they require. We also do network security and risk managment either onsite or remote. We sell and service everthing from routers/firewalls to network or www servers. A little taste of everything.

How does the old saying go. "Jack of all trades, master of none". LOL :D

Hey Gbin@ryR...if you dont like the posts dont read them. You could probably tell by the subject that this thread would not apply to you. So why'd you read it? Better yet why post a reply? I guess you're just angry for some reason, so go ahead and be mad at me for posting 'nonsense threads', I'll try not to lose sleep over it.

[iNViCTuS]

Well, I am 24 years old, and currently work for a security consulting firm as a Senior Security Architect/Engineer. I am currently on a very large project managing security for a network of over 150,000 users worldwide.

My background is network security (of couse) but mainly is in network design and engineering, Cisco primarily (CCNP, CCDP, and soon CCIE hopefully). I have a lot of experience in network design for routing and switching in enterprise level environments.

I currently do firewall, IDS's, authentication, vulnerability assessments, and risk management. I also have all Checkpoint certs, and even MCSE (but I do not like to admit that...lol). Also taking CISSP this May.

I have been in the networking/security industry for almost 7 years...and I love it!!

Hey iNViCTuS, so you go from project to project and hook up companies security and such? That sounds pretty cool. What do you think was the best thing you were able to put on your resume for the job you have now? I need to start in on my certifications thats why I ask.

[Sgt_B]

Hey TechieChick, Glad things are going well for you! Good luck with the business!

[zigar]

when i started here, they had exactly 2 computers...an original power mac and 386sx-16...

there's now over 30...started on win98 p2p...quickly saw what a mess that was...moved to win2k...sooo well...i'm one of those dreaded "nt admins by default"...difference i guess being that first thing i did...went and bought windows 2000 security handbook. by Jeff Schmidt (from que --i highly recommend it as an introduction)...MS win2k pro RezKit and MS win2k server Rezkit...and read it all...(something like 8500 pages...sheesh) then read a good deal of it again...then started to set up the network...has been...interesting...

and then of course i also get..."how do you change the toner in the photocopier"...and my fav...just this minute i got off the phone from one of our employees...seems their home xp box died...and somehow they think i should have the time to help them over the phone...note this is not a company box...it's some kids xmas gift...FGS...grrrr....and this after a dead hub this morning with the phone ringing...i can't get my email..how come i can't log on...i can't print...ringringringringring...

Well...when I got this job, Cisco was the big buzz word in the industry. My Cisco certs got me in the door easily. Now...if you can swing it, i would probably recommend Checkpoint, Cisco and eventually CISSP.

Also a bit of Unix admin experience doesn't hurt.

I am a 25 year old data analyst for..you guessed it Verizon. Started as an agent fresh out of college and worked my way up to level 3 manager. The group that I oversee ensures that all channels of Verizons long distance operation have or more importantly do not have access to data necessary to perform their jobs. This requires a little knowledge of everything but the members of my team are my biggest asset as my time has been spent on the management side of things lately. AO has been invaluable to my knowledge of information security. :D

Some blurt out things like: "Your to damn smart for your own good" and "Stop trying to act like a smartass." I never listen...

I have a degree in Electrical Engineering and i don't think it was worth it for me. I loved networking too much, and electronics just didn't excite me. The job market is about the same for both, but trust me you have to do what you like. Otherwise you will just be miserable.

I have about just under 500 users (students and faculty) only about 70 are ever loggedon at the same time, and have to support two NT servers, Win95-WinXP workstations, MacOS 7-X (infact there are 2 AppleIIe's in one of the special ed rooms that kids point out colors on... only 6 colors to choose from) and a damn lanier coppier that drops my print services everytime a macintrash prints to it (kills spoolers.exe.. any clues?) I look youner than some of the students so I get flack for that. I have 2 assoc. degrees, one in network administration and one in CISCO networking, and I will be finishing up an assoc. in network security in august. Then I'm out of this town and back to where I'm from (Austin) where I have a job waiting (working part time now... reasearching) as a security director. Can't wait to finaly be done.

i am a 21 year old associate information management specialist for the air force reserve base in pittsburgh, pa. i am responsible for a little bit of everything i suppose. mostly user level support and networking. of course security is a major issue here. i hold a secret clearance already and would like to earn top secret at some point. pretty much all my knowledge is self taught from experience. security and networking are my favorite areas of IT and would like to get into consulting on the side for both.

[oblio]

I was hired as a C++/Java programmer but since it is a small company, I now develop software while acting as a UNIX admin. Luckily we have lots of capital so we have many nice Sun Servers. We also have an in house userbase of about 50 people, so I must listen to their stupidity and then ask my coworker to go deal with it. It isn't too easy juggling big and complex programming projects while keeping everything running smoothly and making enough to time to put you idiots down. But I manage, why? Because I am capable.

It sounds like your living the life i would like to be living in the next few years. How did you get this job for the airforce.

But anyway, Whats up everyone the names Mark or some people call me Berky. I just turned 18, goin to highschool for half a day then i take a bus over to the good old Morris County Vocational School where i take ccna classes mid 3rd semester right now with a 95 averge. Not only am i move at doulbe the pase of the class (they jsut started 2nd) i got the highest grades.(yeah i'm braggin, and yeha i sound like a loser nerd,) but yeah so i'm goin to new jeresey VICA in a few weeks, competion for tech students specifically cisco for me. As far as jobs i worked at compusa for a year and a half up till this past sepember when i quit. now i'm doin preety mcuh nothing, just set up a small network in my fathers bussiness. And i'm just kickin back with my friends.
Now i'm lookin for a nice network/ tech job.

i'm wondering if any one is from around my town, Parsippany its a preety big town, lucent and pny are located in it. you may hav heard of those companys.(be nice to get a job for them)
Only problem i got is i leave for college this august, i'm goin to Pennslyvania COllege of TEchnolgy in WIlliams port.

Well if anyone has any suggestions of how i can get my name out there for a job i'd like to here them. I like the idea of working with preety mcuh everything that plugs into the network like a couple people said. Its been nice telling u bout myself, catch ya later

[llipschutz]

Invictus: I would have to agree with you. . .I have a passion for networking which I've just recently discovered, but I can see a path to get there through electrical engineering. Additionally, I have also had a passion for computer HARDWARE rather than software. . .so it seems logical for myself.

i was actually very lucky. i am not an official gov employee, but a government contractor. a good friend and fellow techie i knew has been working here for quite some time. when the position opened up, he recommended me and gave them my resume. it took almost a year to actually get hired. a lot of phone interviews and such went on and then finally, after new years, they decided to hire me based on my reviews from former employers that i have been doing on call contracting work for during the last couple of years. trust me, it was not an easy position to get! especially here in pittsburgh. it is very hard to find a nice paying techie job here that is not temp or contract work if you are under the age of 35 it seems. no matter how much experience or pieces of paper you have behind you. if you do get a job near the city, you will usually be very underpaid. unless you are very luky. networking with other people in the field is very important.

I am really interested in networking, but have figured out unless your network is secure....it doesn't matter how good it is, it won't last. My biggest problem is that when I read something in the book and then try it on my computer, I usually break my computer....but on the bright side, I seem to learn more fixing it after it's broke than I did reading it....lol!

I suppose with my little robot project I will be brushing up on BASIC again. I never dies! I swear.

Great Thread Sgt_b,
I'm a backup firewall admin, an Network admin and responsible for security access on about everything else a healthcare provider might have, software anyway. I was a tech for 9 years and am finding myself a little over my head in this security position, thought I was going to get the money, the girls and leave at 1 for lunch and never come back. YA right.

[esoj_johnson]

I am now a student at DeVRY, and am currently learning programming. It isn't a bad place to be, but it isn't the best one. I want to learn as much as I can about computers, because computers grab my attention. Hopefully, some day I will create something to be proud of. And the DeVRY I go to, is now a DeVRY University

[ccKid]

I am a 31 yr old Operations Manager. Have worked for the same company for almost 13 yrs. I am responsible for the network, phone system, pagers, two-way radio system, voicemail system, and basically all operations and procedures of the company. I have obtained MCP status but have not had time to get the MCSE. I was also going to school to obtain my BS in CS but had to put that on hold. I have also been designing and developing websites since 1995 and prefer the developing side to the design side, I love to code.

I'm 31 y old working at a bank. I migrated from to be a computer technician to security technician a few years ago (win,*nix, as400, novell, bank systems). The only main difference today is the monthly paycheck and a lots more boring administrative tasks.
