I plan on working at a computer repair shop for about a year or so to gain some job experience before even considering it.

So what's everyone's thoughts on the idea of Working as a Cisco network technician in the Detroit area?

After all the last place you would expect college graduates or IT job immigrants to want to work at is Detroit.
It's usually places such as Seattle or California where you would expect them to want to work at.

I left the D 15 years ago.  I don't regret it a bit.  Detroit is never going to recover in our lifetimes.

Detroit, or Detroit AREA.


Massive, huge, giant fucking difference.

Novi and Rochester Hills are fucking solid and in the Detroit area. Redford, Inkster, Garden City, shit holes. Detroit itself, obvious shit hole that only going even deeper in the shitter.


I moved out of Michigan altogether because I was sick of being harassed when registering handguns, along with outlandish taxes, shitty weather, and all sorts of undesireable shit. Miss the food though.

Detroit area, it don't matter to me.  I just see a niche to fill.  I don't feel like moving to California with the neck to neck IT job competition over there. Sanj  didn't work his ass off to move from India to work in the US to live around Obama's sons.

Good on ya!!

Consider Grand Rapids. Hard.
Buncha damn Capitalist pigs, bloodthirsty conservatives, and honest ta goodness America loving Rednecks.
Unlike the South eastern shithole, GR is actually growing, and crime is low in comparison to most mid sized citys.
Plus there is the bonus of better chow, lower taxes, cleaner town, and better schools.

True.

Living in Detroit is horrible.  Besides the murders and rapes there is a constant wave of minor crimes.  If you have a family (in the City) expect your cars to be stolen yearly.

Detroit (metro area) is booming and jobs are everywhere if you have a desirable skill. The area is struggling to find talent. Don't believe the hype, we have recovered but if we admit it that means no federal recovery funds. It pays to have negative publicity.

The city of Detroit is a shithole as many others have said.  Traffic sucks and most roads are not in very good condition.

I go there for business and some of the suburbs are tolerable but I would not want to live there for an extended time.  The good news, the fishing is great not too far from there.

Yeah, not sure how working at a PC shop installing ram and DVD drives is going to net him a couple Cisco Certs and the associated net admining experience, in a year, unless he's going to DeVry or something during that time.

OP: I started my IT career at a local PC shop as well, then moved into corporate IT support.  Worked my way up to server team, and bounced around a few companies.  Eventually left the field after 15 years.

You keep talking about all the jobs being in California, but what you're missing are the major IT and Telecom hubs in Kansas City and the Dallas area.  Unless you are born and bred in Detroit, I'd look towards one of those places over Detroit.

The Detroit area has a pretty good arfcom crew.  If it were me(and it almost was a few years ago-gf at the time was looking at north Detroit for a job), I'd look at Macomb or Oakland Counties.

The suburbs aren't so bad of what I've seen. I only visit the city for the auto show.

This is incorrect.  Industry is flipping booming in the Detroit area.

In the short 12 mile commute I have every day, I drive past three automotive plants, six major defense contractors, and countless thrid party vendors and suppliers.

Chrysler, Ford, GD, BAE, Oshkosh Defense, Curtiss Wright, the GM Worldwide Technical Center, Kuka...and the list goes on.

I thought the same thing you do when I moved here, and my preconceptions have been thoroughly destroyed.  Downtown might be having some problems, but the greater Detroit metropolitan area is doing just fine.

Bottom line: if I was in the IT industry, the Detroit metro area would have countless opportunities.

He's not joking. In MI you need a handgun permit. That being said occasionally I travel to Detroit for work and have always had a great time. There are very nice areas and very bad ones. Cost of living is cheap and it wouldn't be a bad place for a single guy.

No handgun permit needed anymore, same as buying a long gun now.  Airguns are now airguns, not firearms and silencers are now legal.  The gun laws have dramatically improved in the last few years.  Auto industry is popping again now that our industry right sized and people are buying cars.  Suburbs are still as nice as anywhere in the country and city of Detroit proper is once again...attracting white residents.  City council is acting human, mayor is solid, police chief solid and they all play nice with the governor now.  We absolutely bottomed out in 2009 and we're crawling towards a new normal.

There are  a  SHITLOAD of Indian and Pakistani IT workers and engineers in the Detroit area. Also the largest Middle Eastern population outside of, well, the Middle East.  So definitely you will meet "Sanj", whoever that is.  For what it's worth, I've been very impressed with the techs I've met from that part of the world.

There is a lot going on downtown Detroit these days, job-wise.  The suburbs, particularly Oakland County, are very nice and totally different from Detroit in terms of environment and crime.

Gun laws are much better now too.  Full auto, silencers, maybe SBR/SBS (not sure if that passed), CCW with liveable restrictions (still need to work on that).  


It's not paradise, but it'll do.
