Time to START
Well as of next Tuesday I'll have a little more time to post, and I intend to, but don't I always? I got a casual position with the college's START program. START stands for "Student Technicians and Resource Tutors", essentially cheap tech support.
I wasn't looking for the job, more wandered into it than anything. I noticed a class mate in the START lab the other day and walked by, he was having trouble reading the power points our prof had put up and the program director was trying to help him but couldn't. I suggested she just copy the text from the outline into Word but she insisted it couldn't be done. I walked over to another computer, logged in and did it, showed it to my class mate and helped him get it onto his netshare. The program director walked by and was impressed, asked me if there was any other software I knew, I said quite a bit because I'd been in the industry for 7 years. She gave me an application and asked me to fill it out, I figured why not. I got hired right there.
So every Tuesday night I'll be in the library for five hours helping people out, mostly just doing my homework and being available for questions from what I told, as it's pretty slow. And I get paid $9/hour for it. I can't say that's a bad deal, I should be spending at least that amount of time every week working on homework anyway, now I get paid for it, not bad at all.
