<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I 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 <span lang="en-US">privileged</span> 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 <span lang="en-US">necessarily</span> 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?<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Any
help greatly appreciated.</p>
