Good morning Bilbus,

Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it.

I am 26 years old. It is so hard to answer your first question - I want to reply "Everything" however, I know that is not logical.

I know I want to learn more about networking, computer/network security .... I am not a HUGE fan when it comes to building cutom PC's or even for that matter repairing them although I will if I have to. But most my interests lie in the software end - what makes a computer tick always fascinates and frusterates me.

I get the most satisfaction when family & friends bring me their PC's and say "It doesn't work". The challenge of determining the problem is fun. Than when I get it going again (which a majority of the problems is always software end related) I feel accomplished. Am I a dork?

The one thing I like most about the computer field is it always evolving - which means I will constantly be learning something new. I love education/learning.

Thank you again for your advice. I will surely be following it. =0)
