-The pay in IT is good compared to many other
professions,but since they pay u well,they often think they
own u.
IT workers still make very good money compared to many
other professions if they do in freelance.And there is
every reason to believe that IT pros will continue to be in
demand in the coming decades,as technology continues to
play a growing role in business and society.However,because
IT pros can be so expensive,some companies treat IT pros
like they own them.If u have to answer a tech call at
9.00PM because someone is working late,you hear,"that just
part of the job."If u need to work six hour on a saturday
to deploy a software update to avoid downtime during
business hours,u get,"there's no comp time for that since
you're on salary.That why we pay u the big bucks!!
-It will be ur fault when users make silly errors
Some users will angrily snap at u when they frust.They will
yell,"what worng with this thing"or this computer is NOT
working" "what did u do to the computers?"infact the
problem is that they accidentally deleted the IE icon from
desktop or unplugged the network cable from the back of the
computer with their foot!!
-You'll go from goat to hero and back again
When u miraculously fix something that had been keeping
multiple employees from being able to work for the past 10
minutes and they don't realize how simple the fix really
was you will become the heroes orf the day..But they'll
conveniently forget about your hero a few hour later when
they have trouble printing because of a network
slowdown.you'll be enemy at the moment!!
-Your nontechnical co-workers will use you
Your co-workers,friends,neighbors will view u as their
personal tech support department for their home PCs and
home networks.They'll call u or stop by to talk about how
to deal with problem their home PCs.Some of them might even
ask you if they can bring in their home PC to the ur house
or office or bring u to their house to fix it.The polite
ones will offer to pay u,but some of them will just hope or
expect u can help them for free.Helping this folks can be
rewarding but u have to be careful about where to draw the
line and know when to decline.
