I'm looking for jobs in IT right now, I figure fixing computers and such can make for a pretty good career, even though it has nothing to do with my degree.

Also got a new(used) laptop today. My sister managed to wheedle my mother into buying her a new Macbook, so I got her old laptop. Not exactly high end, but it beats my previous laptop by a mile.

Eschatos, Good luck,
1: Most people go to Geek Squad or other nearby big-box IT stores like Microcenter and TigerDirect/CompUSA.
2: A select few will go to "the local" company (not individual), but usually those are local businesses who can afford the extra cost of staying local and who want to go with a "You scratch mine I'll scratch yours" attitude between local businesses.
3: Most people ignore those ads on Craigslist for PC Repair help.
4: You will run into 80% of the people having computers way beyond help in which you will tell them a new computer is best option but they'll want you to fix it anyway.

All of these are from experience in doing this myself off and on for the past 15 years now (yeah I did it in high school too).

What's your degree in though?

I'm actually mostly just searching Craigslist/Dice.com for tech support/helpdesk jobs. My degree is in telecommunications(production), which I mostly picked because I could still graduate in just over four years after fucking up my CS degree.

I would try expanding your searching avenues a bit to get the best possible position. I'm not sure if your university or community offer career fairs, but it would be a good place to start as well. Generally a good impression on a recruiter can help quite a bit. You may also want to look into other job listing websites like Monster and yes even Linked In can be useful. My university even had its own job listing site to help students find opportunities. A temp agency can help you find a position too, but I would only use them as a last resort. Their goal is to get you hired, not find you a quality company/position. Also, don't be afraid to interview frequently even if you don't think you may meet all the qualifications, you can learn a lot about what people are looking for just by interviewing. It might require a bit more leg work and effort, but it's worth trying to cast the widest net possible.
