Hello Bitcointalk. I recently closed down my medium sized mining operation and now I'm about to start looking for a real job. I plan on posting on the job search engines like monster and government sites, but I figured maybe I should post here first due to my experience. I'm located in the Baltimore area and I built the rigs, designed the systems (carpentry, electrical, cooling, networking) and maintained them for my mining farm. I had 45 rigs (315 cards total) and 45 ASICs running. Unfortunately, my investor decided it wasn't worth doing anymore, so we had to shut down the operation.

So now I'm looking for something else. Aside from the mining experience, I have a Master's degree in Government (Homeland Security and Counter-Terrorism), military experience (infantry), and work experience in management, security, and IT. The problem is I don't really know what I want to do or what types of jobs I should be looking for. I'm basically going to start looking for a sys admin or upper tier helpdesk job.

Are there any jobs that mining would translate into well? Or is anyone here looking for a skilled mining admin? Let me know!  :D

You're in that weird skill space that's really not bankable and high in demand but also not totally useless. If I were you - trust me I'm in a much worse condition - I'd look for sales positions. Preferably hardware sales as that can easily translate to higher income rates than any other helpdesk / secretarial desk job that you may pick up.

Try developing some soft skills as they go a long way to getting you hired. If you're capable of investing some time and effort into acquiring some software skills try some of the many online available courses from various websites.

counter terrorism , what a joke.  America is the one that terrorizes other countires.

Your comment isn't very helpful. I didn't even get the degree in America :/

Sorry you said Baltimore so I assumed .
