IT Higher Level Technician
November 2016 • Milwaukee, WI
What I liked
I like the job and the people I work with. The people are great, nice and friendly. The job allows me to learn more about how to research computer problems and to do more than basic troubleshooting when dealing with a problem on the computer.
What I wish was different
I wish I didn't have to work so many hours and would have been able to enjoy my summer break more.
Advice
I say that while paying bills is important, your mental health is too. If you need a full day off to recover, be selfish and take it. Your work experience will brighten and you will feel refreshed as to just pushing through it.
