RE: [PLUG] I just got laid off.

In regards to work, the academic scene is probably the best chance for work
and schooling at the same time. By working for a University you get to go
to school free (except if its for a Masters then you pay the taxes). Univ.
of Penn has a large Unix base and are always hiring for Systems and Tech
personel.

What you might want to look at for ideas is academic institutions. I'm in
Maine these days working for Bowdoin College Network Operations (as a
student, of course) and know firsthand the extravagant spending that goes
into this line of the budget (10 million here at Bowdoin, but we're an
outlier on the high end). Certainly the job stability at an academic
institution is greater than that at private businesses, at least right now.
The small, relatively-rural collegeles must be looking for some qualified
applicants.
Schools like mine include:
Middlebury (VT)
Williams (MA)
Amherst (MA)
Colby (ME)
Bates (ME)
Hamilton (NY)
Connecticut and suburban Boston are likely to be more competitive in terms
of the availability of employees, but Tufts, Wesleyan, Connecticut College,
and the slew of Boston schools might be other good places to look.
Of course, these are all in New England. Check Swarthmore and Haverford
close to home, and other similar schools.
Good Luck,
Jack
