I'm about to turn 23 and after high school I had to get a job to help the family. But now I'm getting sick of where I'm heading. Before I waste my time and money going to school for computer I would like to know if the computer world(This forum being the center of the computer world) thinks I would be successful. Here is were my limited knowledge stands.... I know what all specs mean hardware wise. I have installed hard drives,Ram, video cards, network cards,Tv cards,DVD-roms, basically everything but setting a chip in. Software wise I know my way around all windows pretty well. I have never used linux and the only programming I have done is basic html and made games and math/trig programs for my teachers on the TI calculators back in high school.As far as networking I only thing I have done was network my computer and ps2. Other then that I have had a lot of problems with an older computer that had me on the techline for like a month doing various things which taught me alot.So that is roughly my computer experience.
Now for my education I'm the underachiever type slept a lot,brought magazines instead of books to class, still pulled a 3.0gpa at a private school.My best skill is figuring out problems and better ways to do things( you show me something I'll show you how to make it better). Now if you haven't gone cross eye trying to read my horrible grammar. For some reason my English skills suck!!! Yes I' am from this country! My act scores were something like 27 math 28 science and 15 English. So if your still with me here my question is do you think I would make it in the computer world? And if so what field? I was looking at network engineer. School in mind is westwood BTW anyone know how much that school is?
