and I still make no more than what someone doing 3 years of shipping and receiving would make.
Your salary is dependant on the company. Some companies don't care about emloyees and love to turn them over.
Also, if you are just starting, I wouldn't be worried. After a year they will probably bump you up to something more reasonable. You also can ask for a raise. If you ask for something you think you should be making and get rejected, look for a new position somewhere else.
Here's some job advice for the recent computer graduate in today's economy.
1. Join the military and get into an intelligence specialty. If you plan on working with computers after you get out, I suggest Navy or Air Force though I know a great sys admin who was a Marine.
2. Get and keep a security clearance. Don't let it lapse. Don't do drugs or, God forbid, marry a non-U.S. citizen. Always pretend that you agree with everything George says and repeat after me: "Hanging is too good for anyone from Franc
Let me get this straight, all I have to do is submit myself to a brain-washing muscle-head organisation, don't speak my mind or follow the (possibly) love of my life, agree with George Bush and then I'll be guaranteed a job..? Maybe I could live without the first 3, but agree with George Bush ???
I think I'd rather struggle to get a job, that is, IF I have to struggle...
