<p>Lesson #1: Life’s not fair.</p>
<p>And mikey, I know a whole lot of people who have been doing their jobs with degrees in accounting and engineering with 10-15-20 years experience on their jobs. Many make less than $60k. Some make up $85 (the IT developers and engineers). Some make more. I know IT managers in large corprations making a base salary of $70K. I know people with 20 years of IT experience who are doing temp jobs for $20/hour.</p>
<p>And that leads to lesson #2: Lose the attitude. If that shows when you interview, you won’t get a job. You shout because you think you are entitlted to something. If I caught even a smidgeon of that, I wouldn’t hire you.</p>
