The new book A Career in Computers is a straightforward and sometimes comical look into finding a job in the field of the computer sciences.
It answers questions that many IT professionals and newcomers need to know when looking for a job and what they should expect. Most computer books deal with configuring software and do
little in answering important career questions in the IT field. Even trained computer professionals are unprepared for the social, political, or psychological aptitude needed to survive
the office workplace.
Many of the topics in this book are situations based on the authors experience as an IT Director and the experiences of other computer professionals that you would not typically have
access to without actually having a job in an IT department. Other topics in this book are from questions e-mailed to my website, TheNetworkAdministrator.com from people entering the
information technology field for the first time. It also contains notes sent to him from well-established IT professionals about their experiences.
This book is a mix of fact and story, humor and frustration. If you are new to the field of computers, A Career in Computers is going to give you a unique insight that only experience can
provide. On the other hand, if you are a seasoned veteran, you will laugh and cry at familiar situations that may have sent you to a place of liquid intoxication.
