Although technically not IT, i do serve as the sys admin at my local volunteer ambulance and work as a medic and driver there as well. but mostly i work as a bartender. As a MS student if i never got out of the lab and interacted with some real people, I probably would have thrown myself down a flight of stairs long ago.
now that we have established that, where do we find the employers who are intelligent to realize what they need? because they all seem to think that they need coders.
I'm in a similar spot, only I'm approaching graduation with my MS in Comp Sci, I already have a BS in it (Double major in communication) however i was always encouraged to do research for experience to go to grad school. However, now i find myself sitting on about $200K of education and not a single hour of industry experience to show for it! I just want to get an interview, i'm pretty sure i can handle the rest from there.
