Where am I?

// January 19th, 2007 // Uncategorized

Okay, so I have been lost for some time now. Just wondering around without any idea what way to go and I change direction often. This needs to stop. I am going no where and doing nothing. So I have really been looking into my interests and what I really want to end up doing and it’s not going to be programming as I went to school for. I used to really like it and it still is fun sometimes, but I can’t picture myself writing code for hours a day.

Web programming would still be kind of cool though, I think. Less code and more design, as apposed to application programming. I still like to work with HTML/XHTML and CSS is cool. I have looked into a little JavaScript also. Besides that they have really cool tools like Dreamweaver and Coldfusion to help out with that. Still have not used them much, but would like to know more about them. I got the basics of Dreamweaver down.

So there is that, however, I really like the sound of the security field. I have a friend going to school for it now, and the company I am working for now is going public and they don’t have a real security team. So, I am sure, they will be creating one at some point. I think that with my programming background security would make a really good combination and I would make myself that much more marketable. Problem is, is that I would have to go back to school.

Problems with going back to school:

  1. Time is kind of short already.
  2. I would most likely have to take classes online which is hard for me to get done on time.
  3. More debt

Things that could happen if I do get a security degree:

  1. I would be so 1337!!!
  2. My home network would be much more secure.
  3. Companies will want to hire me.
  4. I could make tons of cash.

Yeah, I should go for it. I know!
