      if you ask me sometimes nothing is fair, but it is your current of view in life, for example some people would be happier working relative easy job and doesnt pay alot and having good friends in that job better than high paying one, but they doesnt know that untill they its too late

        Most in management positions don't seem to have the qualifications for their positions.

        In healthy companies they do. But "most" companies are not healthy and are failing. But failing companies don't pay well, or for a long time. The goal is to look for healthy companies where doing a good job gets rewarded.

          @scottalanmiller ehhh, this isn’t a university It’s a trade school (oddly one that certified people in CCNA, helicopter repair etc). It’s a decent trade school but I suspect like a lot of universities an schools in rural areas they count of low job competition for non-remote entry level work. For what it’s worth a large 4 year university on the Brazos was paying only 40K for The head of ResNet department.

          Universities priorities are strange. From a compensation plan free student tuition, and free masters often mean they can treat a lot of salary positions line work study jobs from a comp basis.

          For what it’s worth I’ll likely be (jetlagged) but back in Waco for the OU game (or any games after it). I’ve made it to only one game this season sadly.

          I have friends who still live in Waco but they all work remote. There’s a decent work from home Wordpress community there. The job market isn’t great for IT infrastructure unless you have clearance but even then [Redacted] IT is so frustrating wild horses couldn’t drag me back into one of their offices.

          Just move to Houston or Dallas or another market until you can skill up enough to work remote.
