Slashdot Mirror
What Types of Jobs are Best Suited for Telecommuters?
upwardlyAndconstantly-Mobile asks: "I'm a systems engineer in the IT department of a bank. My wife is a PhD candidate looking to graduate in 4 years or so. Due to the nature of academia, she may need to move several times for post-docs and professor jobs once she gets her credentials. Her job opportunities may come from any number of cities or towns in the US or around the world. My current skill set ties me to only a handful of major cities, so I am trying to figure out the best path to prepare myself for being uprooted. Besides running something like Slashdot, what are the best tech jobs that are mobile? How many people have jobs that can actually be done from anywhere they can get email and web access? What's the best way to prepare for something like this? I have time to prepare, but what should I be doing? (I write this anonymously because I don't want my current employer reading it!)"
Speaking of which... whatever happened to Jon Katz?
I just saw an ad for tigerdirect on Slashdot. Yes, the scam artist company with the horrible BBB rating and the FTC investigation against them. It is highly irresponsible for Slashdot to show these ads. I warn all Slashdotters, do not order from tigerdirect
A quick google search
One of the worst ratings on resellerratings.com
Tigerdirect also is apparently a frequent user of spam marketing.
So what's next Slashdot? Alex Chiu life rings?
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
