Tips

• Consider working at organizations that hire techs but are not necessarily high-tech businesses. When considering compensation, see beyond the $ and look at the perks as well. For instance, working at most academic institutions will not only provide you an opportunity to continue your education for free but allow for buying discounted software and hardware. Working for a non-profit may allow you to explore your charitable bent while gaining some practical job experience. Be creative and discerning!
