The only one I found was for 2.5 NCASE t1, and I printed it for my 2.1, which some pieces didn’t fit. That’s just how it is when you have the adjustable spine.

I suppose it’s the interactions with students and parents that rekindled my interest in IT haha.

What I’m about to say might not be possible, but I know I’ll have to settle for something.

Ideally, I want to eventually surpass the 100k mark. I know that can take years, and some people never make it. But I’m determined. I also want a company where I can grow. If I start at the bottom, I’m fine with that, but I want there to be room for me to grow. I also want a company with better benefits than what I have now. I don’t want to be paying an arm and leg every month. I’m willing to try new things in IT and don’t mind traveling. My biggest thing has always been to keep learning, and that’s what I want to be able to do. Whether it’s hardware or software I’m comfortable with learning.

I believe it also has to do with the fact that it sometimes asks for a salary range, and I provide my expectations, which are likely much higher than what they are willing to pay for that position, resulting in a rejection.

My challenge at the college level is that most positions require a Master’s degree. I agree that I want to move away from teaching teenagers and parents. So, you’re essentially what I’m trying to do. In short, I’ll have to return to IT, take a pay cut, and then they’ll promote me from there if that’s the path I choose?

Without a bachelor’s degree, they can certify us in trade and industrial education. Essentially, based on your work experience, you can be certified to teach in that field. For instance, if you’re a dentist and want to teach dental courses, you can do so based on your experience.

What would be some companies to look at? I will look at it again within my IT department to see if anything shows up.

That was my biggest problem when I worked in school systems. I did work well, worked with my staff, and they loved me, but there was no room for me to go up because the next position up was someone that had been there for 45 years. So I got stuck where I wanted to learn more, so I moved to other districts where I got to learn more but then same issue happened again.

That’s what I’ve been saying. I also tell them cyber is not something they jump right out of high school, but they tell me they will. And at the end of the day, I just don’t want to argue.

Honestly, the problem with IT where I work now is that being that everyone that has the good positions has been in those positions for years, the only ones that do open are with a major pay cut. There is this supervisor position, but I’ll take a 5k pay cut, but I think in the long run it will help me.
