CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Hey everyone, I just thought it would be nice if we said a little about ourselves. I wonder what people are like and where they are from when I'm reading a message, and I'm too lazy to click on view profile all the time! If you wanna say a little something, please do!

I'm 24, 2 children- 1 is 3 yrs and the other is 8 1/2 mos, married, Live in PA, and Stay at home with the kids. My interests are my kids, my fish, and the computer. Lately I seem to have become the "apartment neighborhood computer fixer-upper!" LOL, and hubby's the one who went to school for it!
That's about it for me, see ya later!

OK.
I'm a Paramedic Safety Medic. I see all the blood and guts almost every day. I work on an ambulance in the middle of the sticks up near MS. Yea dileverance alright. From wrecks to my toe hurts, I get 'em 1st! Yea real fun. The only bad thing is it's really a strain on you mentally & physcially. As a matter of fact I have to have arthoscopic surgery on my knee in 2 days! Go figure. So you will see me posting and researching the hell out of everything the next few weeks. I'll be out of work for a little while!

That sounds like a tough job. Before I had my baby, I was a nurse aide in a county old folks home. I changed poopy diapers and fed dinner, and baby-sat 70-102 yr olds with every degenerative disease imaginable! I can only imagine what it would be like with younger people! I feel for you.

Hey Joe, you said you are a systems analyst? My hubby went to school for an IT Technician but he can't find any jobs locally. I told him he should take a certification test in something and go for an analyst. Would that qualify for enough education or experience? Or would he have to "work his way up"? He currently works in a hospital as an IT Tech, but he says he does more clerk work than tech work. The position used to be a clerk, but since they added a help desk, it's now a tech. He get's paid clerk pay and I think it sucks... Any thoughts?

Hi Jen,

Your husband needs to decide first of all what is most important, money or piece of mind. He can make $50/hour or better for full time work if he wants to be slaved by a Staffing agency(the staffing company would charge the client company $80-100/hr). But of course you have to save for the "dry" seasons, no security in terms of "no benefits" more or less. Or going to work for a well-to-do private company, more comfortable, less changes, but still they'll work you like a dog. For a family man who doesn't who doesn't love money THAT much I recommend sticking to a more relaxed job even if you get considerably less $$. I never took any "Certifications", I just had experience to show and happy companies I've worked with etc...my schooling is a BS in Biological sciences with specializations in molecular biology and biochemistry and a minor in computer science. If he is finding it hard to "find" a job, YES certifications WILL Definitely help. Has he searched for jobs on online search engines dedicated to jobfinding? hotjobs.com and stuff like that? I found a great job for my friend like that, and I was paid $250 from that "head-hunting" company for recommending my friend. Does your husband like studying, hitting the books, memorizing etc..?(lots of fishermen don't Anyway, not sure how much experience he has, so don't know what I would recommend certification wise, A+, MCSE, or cisco....get him on here sometime
I can create a private forum where we can chat in etc...
