[BC] Matching jobs and engineers

[Jeff Carter]

Hi,

I appreciate the lead in NV, but while I'm looking, I can't leave the
Southeast right now because of family.  I will pass the NV lead along
to some folks I know who are more mobile than me.

To contribute to the conversation, Southern Poly in Marietta, GA
teaches a Bachelor's in Telecommunications that bridges IT and
engineering.  They've essentially taken a traditional BSEE or BSET
course of study, taken motors and a couple other things out and
replaced it with IT stuff like routers/subnetting/etc.

That's where I went.  I primarily have done contract stuff on LPTV
stations, not much radio (except, of course, ham radio).  I worked for
Georgia Public Broadcasting for three years, too, both UHF TV
transmitter and satellite uplink work.

I'd be grateful for any Southeast leads you guys know about.  I see
things posted locally from time to time but they never want to pay
anything.  I can't see going to a 24/7 job for not much more money
than I can make working four ten-hour days a week reimaging desktops
at a job where they don't even know my cellphone number.

>Thanks Sid,   I am aware that any radio engineering job has to have at least basics in IT.  The ability to assign and know what you are doing with fixed IP addresses is important, but the people I hear from don't have a clue about audio routing, Ohms law, distortion, equalization, audio processing or God help me RF!  I can't use an IT guy who thinks an antenna is the piece of wire you can faintly see in the window of his car and can't tell me the difference between impedance and resistance and has no clue why that may be important but more importantly doesn't care to learn.
