not only does it suck, it's also really expensive, hard to find, and you need to add it in groups of 2

I also have two rack mountable Compaq Pentium III XEON servers. They are dual processor and one is loaded with two 900 MHz chips, the other two 800 MHz chips. Both at 2mb cache each IIRC... Both have hardware RAID controllers and 5 hotswap bays for SCSI drives. (Can add another set of bays for 10 drives.) I also have a dual P3 machine. I'm unsure of what is in it. The cost for the lot is one lunch at Fuddruckers...
Should I fail to collect said lunch you owe me TWO lunches!

There ARE NO TECH JOBS... Period. The IT industry is gone.
If you're into tech, you can make a mundane $15 an hour or you can get a Security Clearance... Even then, you need some crazy database admin certification or experence with something hardcore like Oracle or something...
**** all that.

There's only so much computer work one can get done while the customer is there throwing feces and swinging from trees... The intelligent tech will snap and kill someone, or at least swear loudly for a while.
The solution is to bring in idiots that are on par with the customer. They feel comfortable with their species. They won't mame the customer and are more docile. Unfortuantely, problems don't easily get solved by idiots.
However customer's aren't too pleased when they're being beaten with a rolled up newspaper either. And happy customers keep giving your company the moneys, so they kinda have an obligation to keep them happy but returning rather than solve the problem effectively.
There's a slight problem though. People have wised up. The tech worker population here has realized they're working with idiots and demanded more money. We've had to import idiots from India and Thailand. (Note where your call goes when you call tech support. :p )
The only people left here working tech are masochists. Dealing with idiots, corperate rules saying you can't hurt the idiots, and low pay... Can't deny it.

I disagree, I have no certs of any form, and I'm working as a software engineer... and I make significantly more than $15 per hour... without a clearance...

I don't know why people think they HAVE to have someone.
I've found that the *only* person I've ever been with who has lasted (my current girlfriend) was the one who found me when I wasn't looking.
