Bootius McGee	Posted - 2010.05.19 12:52:00 - [1] Yup, it is possible. Here is how it is done, kiddies. Learn networks. I mean from pillar to post. Switches, hubs, routers, fibre, copper, test rigs, terminations, the lot. Leave no part of the network infrastructure untouched by your mastery. Make damned sure you can build a complex, multi-site network from scratch, solo. Then take up the server side of the house. File servers, data servers, SQL, mail, all of it. Make damned sure you can build them from scratch and then keep them running. That means programming them too. Now, find yourself that sweet spot of a job where you get to use all that knowledge, with a staff under you. You are now making in excess of six figures, and you run the store. Kick back, put your feet up, and play EvE all day while your minions do the actual work. Hey. I never said it was EASY. But it does work, and I'm not the only IT manager out there pulling it off. Study hard in school, kids!
Nooma K'Larr Minmatar Cat's Cradle	Posted - 2010.05.19 12:55:00 - [2] ...or you can live in China and work at an isk sweat shop. I'm sure they pay you for playing EVE. ------------------------------------------------ Please support my anti-macro mining proposal.

Washell Olivaw	Posted - 2010.05.19 13:02:00 - [4] Then get fired because a minion aiming for your job mailed HR the logs that show you're playing games all day. Originally by: Signature Everybody has a photographic memory, some people just don't have film.

Nope. Upper mgmt is very aware of the situation. As long as things run smooth, the department is left alone. edit: And any minion stupid enough to try sabotage is bounced out on their ass. Part of knowing what you are doing includes tracking and logging changes in a way that can not be defeated or circumvented.

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2010.05.19 13:04:00 - [6] Actually that's not getting paid to play EVE... As you'd still get paid even if you played Minesweeper... So my vote is on post #2 with the Chinese sweatshops. Secure 3rd party service \| my in-game channel 'Holy Veldspar'

Zora'e Amarr	Posted - 2010.05.19 13:05:00 - [7] Originally by: Washell Olivaw Then get fired because a minion aiming for your job mailed HR the logs that show you're playing games all day. Yes, but then you get to show the Minion what a cold harsh world it is when you pod him for ruining your cushy job.
Angeli Domini Amarr	Posted - 2010.05.19 13:18:00 - [8] Yup, it is possible. Here is how it is done, kiddies. Learn whining. I mean from pillar to post. Cry, scream, scratch, kick, throw yourself against the wall. Make damned sure you can annoy your parents like no kid ever annoyed them before. Tell them you won't stop until they pay for your EVE subscription. Never ever leave the basement again.
Darth Satanicus	Posted - 2010.05.19 13:49:00 - [9] <-- Bus driver, at work, on forums and in eve. Work that one out :)

Before you mentioned parents I thought you were talking about a trade union...

Shania Lynn	Posted - 2010.05.19 14:39:00 - [12] Better yet. How about you get a security job that pays $15 an hour working the hours of midnight to 8am. All you have to do is monitor security cameras and alarms. While doing that you play EVE for all 8 hours. Works for me.

Then you get fired because you tell your boss that the interloper was haxing because your webifier wouldn't work.

Chayton Burns Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2010.05.19 23:11:00 - [19] Hotel night-watchman. As long as the hotel doesn't burn down during the night, the management don't care about what I do. Also, working in the glorious social democratic haven of Scandinavia pays about 25$ an hour. Eeexcellent

Widemouth Deepthroat	Posted - 2010.05.21 11:19:00 - [22] I dream of one day have my own army of gold farmer slave who give me all isk they can make per day for a bowl of rice and unlimited supply of adult diapers.
Morast Kuiper Belt Industries	Posted - 2010.05.21 15:32:00 - [23] I knew a paid city fire man who played mmo's all the time. The catch? He had to be able to walk away with no notice and no warning at any time. regards Morast
Mr Kidd	Posted - 2010.05.21 16:04:00 - [24] Originally by: Bootius McGee Edited by: Bootius McGee on 19/05/2010 13:05:13 Originally by: Washell Olivaw Then get fired because a minion aiming for your job mailed HR the logs that show you're playing games all day.

Part of knowing what you are doing includes tracking and logging changes in a way that can not be defeated or circumvented. Unfortunately in a corporate environment nothing ever runs smooth and the department is never left alone and some jack-ass administrator saw you walking down the hall. Then next thing he knew his computer wouldn't turn on. Must of been you fiddling with something making his life harder like you always do because he just wants to get his work done and you had the audacity to walk down the hallway with your tech-smug way. So he calls up your department complaining. You send your minion out to his office. Much to his shagrin you're minion, like the smart-ass all tech people obviously are, found that the power cord was unplugged, plugged it up, problem solved. But, the administrator thought your minion replugged the cord in a way demeaning to him. So the administrator decided to make your life hard and figured, "Hey, if this guy has time to play games, WTH are we paying him for?!?" and you were fired that very same day all for having a department that ran smoothly.
D3rg3	Posted - 2010.05.21 17:01:00 - [25] no one who actually works on servers says they are programming the server this is how i know you are a fake
Skex Relbore Gallente Red Federation	Posted - 2010.05.21 17:38:00 - [26] Originally by: D3rg3 no one who actually works on servers says they are programming the server this is how i know you are a fake That depends actually. The guys who maintain linux servers tend to do a lot of programing. Maybe it's mostly just scripting but that's still programing. Our SQL admins are all considered programmers as well. All that said getting an MBA and learning some technical mumbo jumbo would probably accomplish pretty much the same as the OP suggested. Since generally the guys in management aren't all that technical anyway.
Zun thar	Posted - 2010.05.21 20:43:00 - [27] Edited by: Zun thar on 21/05/2010 20:44:58 Hmmm.. ever wonder why so many companies/organizations struggle financially, and need bailouts or have to lay people off/downsize? I bet the OP is well respected by his subordinates :P This is where MMO players get a bad name, imo. L2WORKETHIC.. i'm in IT/software development.. there's ALWAYS something to do, and only a lazy scumbag would sit on his ass while his coworkers do all the work.

Pesky LaRue Minmatar Brotherhood Of Fallen Angels	Posted - 2010.05.21 23:04:00 - [30] Originally by: Morast I knew a paid city fire man who played mmo's all the time. The catch? He had to be able to walk away with no notice and no warning at any time. A player in my Corp is stationed in Iraq as a Medevac and has the same thing - one second he'll be there, next second he's offline without warning. . [Brotherhood Of Fallen Angels]
