OT: Network admin opening at KU

[Paul Taylor]

Read the qualifications carefully. A Master's Degree is preferred not
required. They require experience (real world?) and prefer a degree.

If people would read carefully they'd get better jobs with increased
chances of earning more money.

What I find interesting is they do not comment on the level or years of
experience.

Here is a hint though if you apply and do not have a Master's degree. Tell
them you're excited about working at their school so you can work and
attend their CS or Engineering programs at same time. They'll like that.
Whether you do later is up to you. If you can prove you can do the job
they probably will not care.
