I am curious how many web people here work in the IT industry.

I do some network administration here too, if I didn't noone would have a clue.

I do a wee bit of IT stuff now and then b/c not many people here know how to do anything with computers...

you mean IT companies for clients or as an employer?
i was the later for quite a few years. taught me how to sell, as the skills required to sell web services are a good bit different than those required to sell networking, servers or IP phone systems.

Yes, as an employer. For instance, I got my first good job doing web design in an IT company before I graduated college. The next job I got came to involved mostly UI design for the IT dept of an unrelated company.

I've worked on flash-based video training stuff for GM's IT department.

about 7 years ago I quit my real job as a 'systems support anylist' at citibank...
...and my I say - citibank has some of the dumbest 'end-users' around the country. This one fella didn't only let his laptop fall off his motorcycle... the next one I sent out to him... he backed over w/his truck.
All IT ever really is... is smart people fixing dumb peoples mistakes... which is why i quit and learned how to play golf.
