The world of tech support

August 30, 2007 Posted by mitch | school, thoughts | 0 Comments

Ya know, I'm glad I've got the current class I do... I would have never known the exciting world of tech support that all of IT revolves around it would seem. How I ever was unfortunate enough to miss this exciting field of study I will never know, but at least now I get to hear about all the good and bad times to be had doing Tech Support.... shoot me... now... I should really fix my categories... and add a sarcasm tag...

The pontifications of my teacher

I don't know why I still let this bother me... but I'm sitting here in my Network+ class... and the teacher... man... he has some really random thoughts, and I don't see the purpose of them. I don't find them useful in any real world situation. I guess I would much rather "talk" to the students and listen to them and really get them thinking in terms of Network and System management. Being that I have a bit of experience in the field, and I run into people that "believe" they know what they're talking about but are most definitely missing the point. I believe they could learn a lot from having to come up with policies/procedures, and designs and then be corrected on them, or having to defend why they would design it one way over another. Granted this type of instruction can't really be followed out of a book. But so much of IT can't be either. We should be buying books that are reference manuals of the specific technology being discussed, with projects to discuss how the technology works, then either just discuss implementation of said tech, and products relating to it or have each student create their own implementation plans, along with costs and such, and preset that. With the students commenting on each. Those would be the type of classes I would like... maybe I'm alone in that...?

I found this to funny for words

Sorry, but I had to. I know not all of you that may look at/read my website would agree with me on my own opinions, but I've grown really tired for the religiously motivated Neo-Cons in this country and I like to point out their own hypocrisy whenever I can.
