I really enjoy technology, but I feel that if involved in technology in a daily basis will make me lose intrest in my personal projects involving technology and computers--my hobby or what-not.

IT gets old fast when you do it for a living and there's a gun to your head. Schedules, bosses, users, projects, paperwork, politics, etc... the list goes on and on. You will probably lose your desire to do it for fun when you do it all day. I did. But look at the flip side. Doing it for a lving will provide you with an outlet for that aspect of your life. Then you can devote your off hours to your 914!

That is when you're not working 12 hour days, 18 hour upgrades, etc...

Where's that sendmail book? Aw screw it... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

What job doesn't entail bosses, users and schedules and timelines and corporate red-tape?

I dont mean to offend anyone, I just feel that every job that pays anything will have some of these traits to them.

You missed my point. All of the crap can really take the enjoyment out of it. You won't want to do it when you get home. It sounds like fun now, but when you get into the real work world, the fun slowly dies away. And there's the fact that you don't really have a clue at this point what that's really like when the burner is on full broil. Add in a wife and kiddies (and a 914 habit) and you'rve got some real fun.

I forgot though. You're all of, what, 19 or 20 right? So you've got all the answers.

I'm done now.

hey man i dont wanna start a fight here.

i'm listening....
