Almost forgot to post: I got a job!

I haven't posted in a while. I had to quit my factory job in July so I would be able to continue going to school at night to work on my bachelor's. I didn't mind quitting because I had just sold my house and had some cash to hold me over awhile and I wanted to go ahead and try to get into an IT position in at least some respect so I could get some experience.

One of my classmates got a job and then took my resume in and recommended me and I got hired too! I started last week. It's only a temp contractor position giving phone support, but it'll give me more experience than I was getting driving a forklift.

My bachelor's is in Network Security and Forensics, so I'm thinking I'll probably head more towards the security career path than anything else.

Congrats on the new job, and good luck with both it and your academic endeavors.

Forensics is pretty cool but I wouldn't have any idea how to get into that field unless working for the government, law enforcement, or a law firm.

So security is your track, that is a very broad area of study from hardening servers to the very complex such as cryptography and encryption.
