Try getting in as Level 2 or level 3 tech at the phone company/ISP, or similar company. I got myself a student job as Level 3 tech and it's great, I want this job for when I'm done college, pay is decent too. But that depends on the company. Also, you don't have to deal with customers much. We have external clients, but they don't call us directly, they call the L1's then they file the tickets, then we respond to the issues. My job is mostly projects and such. It's a job that never get's boring, and there's also challenges and also a great way to learn more about networks, etc. I probably learned more in my first month, then I did in my first college year. Hopefully I'll learn more second year though.
