Clowns in the IT industry

Warning, this post contains profanity.

Can the IT staff at UBCO do anything right with their wireless network? Being disconnected eight times a day gets to be pretty damn frustrating. If this happened even once a week I would be much happier, but these clowns can't keep the thing solid for a single day. Not to mention that their "secure" wireless network just decided to stop validating me one day. This brings up a real problem with the IT industry as a whole: morons getting good jobs that require someone who knows what the fuck to do.

Since the late 90s I have seen so many fucking idiots come into this industry as "programmers," "webmasters," "network admins," and more. A common thread with these fools is that they just don't get how things work, and how to figure out how to make them work. I don't know if it's lack of training or sheer stupidity, but it's a god damned epidemic that is sweeping across the IT industry of the world. Whether it's the fucking moron at the help desk at your Internet provider, or the network admin(s) at your university campus, they're everywhere, and it's getting worse.
