man I am sick of this! I finished college in may with an A. S. in Computer Science. and I can't get a job anywhere! everywhere I go they tell me sorry son but with out any past work experience in computers or networking we can't hire you! How does anyone get into the buss then? it is almost a year and I can't find anything! I live in PA right by the NJ and only an hour from NYC so why is it so hard? does anyone have any inside hook ups anywhere or know someone that knows someone?

Try working for an IT staffing firm. You get a couple of temp assignments, and find a good fit. They like you and offer you the job full time.

if you were closer I would offer you a job, have to hire a new guy to clean the shop. Most of the guys we hire for that job are laid off or out of work college grads
