have a question about tech/'nix jobs for undergraduates. I am a cs
student at pitt with a year to go after this semesters finished. However, since
i had to take a 2 year break from school I now find myself in the position of a
slightly less than privileged undergrad in need of a (at least partly)decent
part time job for the next year or so to stay afloat while i finish off my
degree. Now i'm not necessarily looking for a job from any of the wonderful
people on this list, but rather some advice as to how i should go about trying
to get one. I am looking for a job of 20 hrs a week or less(roundabouts) that
will allow me to do something that won't encourage my brain to atrophy. That
would be wonderful. I would love to work somewhere where I could work with a
gnu/linux or BSD system, or even around one, so i could learn about how they
work in business settings and not just the 3 system network in my home. I'm
willing to work for minimum wage, but with my situation right now i can't just
do a free internship, i wouldn't make it though next year. If i can't find a
job that allows me to learn and actually feel useful, i'll have to get a soul
sucking, life sapping, irritating and probably obnoxious job at best buy or
something. So, wpluggers, where should i start? What should my strategy be?</span></font></p>
