It depends on the team. I work on some internal tools for the IT department. I enjoy it, but I envy the OS and Xbox teams. I've tried to switch before but there's never a spot for me.

hoping to hear back from a slightly better paying job with more focus on backups and less on being the escalation path for helpdesk
also, it's crazy how stupid some people in IT seem to be, especially on the lower end of the spectrum. I find myself asking how they can be so retarded when their CVs say they've got 6 years helpdesk experience. Then I remember that people are fucking liars and will say anything to get their foot in the door.

I did a bachelor's degree in IT I absolutely hated. But I stuck to it. Got my shitty piece of paper that says I can plug keyboards in. You know what? Got me nowhere. If you're not in too deep switch to something you really care about. Side note, fuck Deakin. Fuck them in the ass.

not a clue and I actually agree with you. I'd rather the title say technician but that's what the guys in HR wrote down on my paperwork.

Just scan for the original ad-codes and replace them with my own.
I also add popup ads because they are the most profitable ones.
And the ad-network I work with is constantly finding ways to go around adblock plugins, which is nice.

Forgot to mention I spend over 25k per year on domains.....
It can be worth it but it all comes down to a game of luck with google.
they have to rank you high to be profitable, but a proxy service is inherently against their rules.
So they don't stay on the top of their results for long (max 1 month)
So I just get a lot of domains and hope for the best.
how may proxy's?
there are only 16 sites being proxyed but i have over 1000 domains for them.
As far as the script goes, I have no idea at this point as I have completely distanced me form that aspect of the site.
The script is maintained by my sysadmin whom gets 20%.
I don't even know which where stuff is hosted.
All for plausible deniability.
Money is of-course offshore, made enough money to hire someone to keep it hidden and accessible at the same time.

to be honest DBA is just a title I do more with the programming side of it, writing REXX scripts, JCL to automate, and ISPF panel driven apps, everyone seems to want rid of the mainframe, despite the immense cost and effort of doing so for some reason, if I do end up out of a job I might apply to some of the banks, not sure if I want to work on the mainframe long term.

My "job" is something I'd do for free, but people sometimes see fit to pay me for it. That's how I feel about programming too. It's hard to focus on my classes when I could be programming instead. I'm probably going to take some time off from school to work full time with a combination of performing and freelance-ish programming. (I know a guy who frequently needs programming done, and he usually throws jobs my way whenever I have time.)
I've been bandying about the idea of walking away from my comp sci degree to just start working, but it looks like most of the people here with CS degrees do really well for themselves. Is the degree is worth it if it isn't really building up my skills any faster/better than working/learning alone?
