They couldn't care less about Informatics as a discipline, they couldn't care less about computers... they basically just try to do the minimum of a minimum of work to get by... somehow. How, that is irrelevant.<BR/><BR/>And if it is determined that you're one of those guys that actually loves Informatics (as a discipline), loves working with computers, you're labeled as "aaahhh, one of those TECHS!!!", which in their lingo is nothing more than some PC-repairman, haul-around-disks guy. <BR/><BR/>And, management is also to blame. Actually, theirs is a majority of blame: they try to hire IT people as cheaply as possible, to the point of compensation being completely unrealistic, which results in having hired incompetent idiots to do work which requires dedication, integrity, highly specialized knowledge, constant self-improvement, and competence.UX-adminnoreply@blogger.com
