I need advice.
I was in the Customer Service field for about 15 years, then I changed careers to work in the computer area. I got a position at the same company on the help desk. I worked on the help desk for about two years until a layoff happen. I was making about $45K. I took the severance money and took MCSE courses. (Previously I didnt have any formal trainging in computers, I just picked up everything on my own) I've completed all the classes but only four of the exams. I've got the MCP certification, but still have to get the MSCE. I was paid handsomely when I was laid off so I didnt work for two years. I now have job making much less money but doing a lot more. Im making $35,000. I am the help desk, I management NT (accounts and servers and backup), maintain network, lay cable for the network, move equipment. Theres only two people in this computer department (about 150 computers) I do everything, including vacuuming. I have a boss, but he does mostly programming, so its basically jusy me. When I was looking it was so hard for me to get a job becuase of my inexperience with NT.
I've been here six months.
Am I worth more than 35$ on the market?
How long should I stay here to get experience.
