What's the dirt on Computer Resources buying Dyncorp? Are they consolidating mutual operations, or bringing computer resources to the nether-world?

JediNein:

I haven't heard anything about Computer Resources and Dyncorp, but that probably means I haven't been paying attention more than nothing's going on.

Someone more knowledgeable could probably deduce the answer by knowing what they're collaborating on--which I don't know either.

If they're collaborating on something that Computer Resources already does, but on a smaller scale, then I'd bet Computer Resources is thinking acquisition because that's how the majority of the technology companies I have observed grow their businesses. Well, that characteristic isn't actually confined to the technology sector, is it?

If they're collaborating on something that Computer Resources has little or no previous experience in, then I'd think it's just merely a strategic alliance to make some money for them both.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I was laid off 2 months ago from a very comfortable IT position after 3 years with the company, and have had no luck finding anything near what I was making there. My worthless opinion: IT industry in the crapper right now.

Go medical

there will always be a demand for nurses and different medical technologist If anyone takes this route first go to a hospital or two and observe the work that you will be doing and what techs think the outlook is

When i was going to school i was going to go into physical therapy it was paying 60k year and my field was about 40k Now my field pays better than PT so try to get an idea if it's hot field for the future PT and nursing are still good fields but there are easier better things out there

Bad thing most schools are at least an AS degree = 2 years full time Well now might be a good time to make that small time investment

Great luck to ya

Computer career 2nd choice

Your thinking is on the right track. I have a second job which I use computers and i am able to bring my laptop along and work on my overnights in the hotel room. The key is finding an employer who is flexible enough to allow you to work beyond your airline schedule. I have been lucky in that regard. As far as other professions, the medical industry always is looking for per-diem employees and it seems there is a shortage right now in that field. If I had to do it all over with the job situation being what it is, I would do that.
