text: are colleges good places to work in?   in what profession? i assume somewhere along the lines as systems admin since this question is in computer networking.   i work as a college instructor, and i always make friendly with the it guys. they are all usually the nicest, funniest, friendliest people at the college. a lot of times, it's hard to get anything beyond part-time, but otherwise, it's a good gig from what i understand.   if you are talking in general, i love working in colleges. they are insanely rewarding socially and sometimes, financially.
