You're a typodont?

[Bidoof]

Runner for a small local law firm. Make a few bucks an hour more maintaining the server and network, fixing any of the bosses' devices, creating billing invoice conversation scripts, the like. Until my wife finishes school and gets a fulltime job so I can go back, its a living.

As far as the whole IT conversation: at least around where I live, everyone wants a 4 year degree. I was naive and read that I could get started with the A+ cert, but I got maybe one callback for an $8 an hour job (barely over minimum) out of the dozens of jobs I applied for. At one point I could've taken it and tried to work up, I suppose, but can't now that I'm married.

Point is: go back to school if you can. With the recession, and with everyone and their mothers getting CS's, there's just too much competition to not have it.

Wise words, there were rumours in the UK of university tuition fees set to go up - so the year I applied there were 10 applicants for every university space (twisted statistics however as each applicant can apply for 5 universities)...

No regrets on going back either. Sure, I feel like my life has been put on the shelf for 3 years but its been worth it and I've learnt so much. Also, rather than pay back the government tuition fee loans I won't be in the country... I paid my taxes and then some in my 20s to do this, I figure I don't owe them a penny.

Lol quite the common thing happening over here, don't blame ya though I'd do the exact same thing... it's the only real way I can ever see myself going to uni.
