Obviously if you are not getting the job you are applying in the wrong places... And you don't have enough "Experience"

School is easy, easy easy easy book work and essays. If classes for IT are stressing for you, maybe its not your type of work. "Busting your balls"

Try applying for "Help Desk"

There is no way in hell you will get a tech job fresh out of school unless you have some serious skills or you know someone that can hook you up.

You are one of the thousands who think the IT industry is dead cause you can't get a job... It's because you apply for unrealistic positions.

Network Technician, Security Technician, Software Engineer, Consultant. These are all positions that takes years of experience... 4+ years for example.

I know someone that always said "Oh im going to ITT im going to get a Job with Square Enix"

No way in hell would square or any major video game developer hire someone that got fresh out of college. Expecially for software engineering.

no its just that i guess in my area.. you need minimum 2 years hands on experience for even entry level... im still in school and not even the city offeres an internship, even volentary.. Not even the highschool i graduated from is allowing me to do a free internship.

by busting balls i mean.. not hard work just lots of time and hours spent studying and doing my part to maintain solid grades.

I know with EVERY position ANY career your gonna start at the bottom and u gotta work your way up.

Its not like im applying for "senior network administrator jobs." Right now i've been in the help desk/tech support job for about 1 and a half years and working my way up from there.

BestBuy's GeekSquad is one of my credentials, and its still not enough yet. Trust me I know u dont just get a job landed at 60k a year fresh from college. I'll be happy with an IT job making 10 an hour for now. Just for the hands on.. realtime experience thats required

come on. no way am i that ignorant.
