Im going to be starting College soon, and I want to get into computers, but I don't know what field I want to be in. I like hardware a lot, I like hand-on stuff, but there is usually no money in it.
I took a stater Networking Class, and a C+ Progamming Class, and I hated it. The hardware aspect of the Networking was awesome, but as soon as we got into the software and programming, it just blew my mind. I have never been good at math, and programming was the same way. There would be kids in my class sitting their excitedly chatting away about how they could make their programs work better, I had trouble just getting mine to work..... I don't know if it was the teacher or what, but I stuggled in that class.
My brother in-law is head of admissions at a small community college, and said I could get A+ certified in night school in only 6 months, and I think thats what I want to do, cause then I can get a job at a local PC repair shop here in town while I go to school. But A+ Certification isn't going to get me anywhere.
Networking sounds very cool, my dad has a friend who runs all the networks for a local school district, and he just goes around and fixes peoples problems. He doesn't make much money with the district, but he also works with a private company doing the same thing, that pays as much in one day than he makes in a week with the district. But I don't know what the future of those jobs looks like, and I don't what to dive into something that I could potentially hate.
Are their any other fields I should concider? I have always thought that I would make a good Cable Repair man lol, but I don't think I want to be 40 years old saying I install cable for comcast..... that doesn't appeal to me.
