Ok I have 20 years experience and no degree. My background is in network administration and all the desktop support that goes along with it and application support etc. My last job burned me out so bad I dont ever want to be the emergency room of the IT dept again. I now have a nice high paying software support job but it aint gonna last forever. Has anyone found a low stress niche in IT? Does it mean a big company? I might be able to go for a degree or some certs. I am just not willing to go back to being the guy who has to save the world if it goes down and you stay at work until its fixed (sometimes for days) and get called in the middle of the night. I want a max of a 45-50 hr work week with no emergency aspect to it.
My dream job would be to teach theology or something meaningful but teaching IT doesnt sound too bad. As long as its teaching and not doing demos to help sell widgets.
I wouldnt mind working for the gov or non profit as a pension would be nice too. I am 40. Do I have to totally change careers?
The other bad thing. I cant take much of a pay cut. I am just under 70k now. In a lower cost area I could probably go down to 50k but my debt is unbearably high.
I think I will end up leaving my work in a pine box if I have to have job that is anything like the last three I have had before this one.
Any advice.

I’m applying as a seasonal worker for the Disney College Program and I have a phone interview Monday. I really don’t want to miss school a semester and would like to graduate on time. Does seasonal mean I only work during the summer (May/Jun – Aug)? Or is it from May/Jun – Jan. I know that if I quit in the middle because of school I won’t be aloud to go for jobs with any Disney affiliates for a period of time and I don’t like/want to quit. I always finish what I start.

Hi all, I recently graduated college with a bachelors in advertising account management. Since then I have been vigorously applying for jobs in my field. After applying to about twenty places, one finally called back, a newspaper, and I went on the interview and was offered the job of advertising sales representative.
However the company is a niche newspaper thats concentrated in the gay community. The **** Gay News. I do like the position offered and the work environment, however I feel that if other companies see this on my resume in the future they may be reluctant to hire me or may think I and homosexual (not that there’s anything wring with that -seinfeld).
Am I being paranoid, or could this type of discrimination prevent me from progressing in the future?

I am a business student that is just finishing my second year of university. I have very good grades and a lot of work and volunteer experience. Yet, despite this there is a challenge.
1. Lack of co-op jobs for this summer.
Although, I am concentrating in accounting I am still trying to find my niche. If you or someone you know is need of an extra hand this summer and would like someone who is willing to learn and work hard you have found your guy. All for a bargain as well, I am more interested in learning and gaining experience in an industry than financial gains.
Thank you in advance.

Also, what about “Outsourced Data Entry”? I already know about all the scams out there, thanks.
