Tech Jobs

http://live.pirillo.com/ – A user e-mailed Chris this question:

I am a 15 year old looking to find a career in the computer field. I’m already working very well with them and can figure out problems even if I haven’t encountered them before. I just don’t know where to start. How did you get to the point where you’re at now?

Chris grew up at a time when technology and computers were more of a hobby or affinity than anything else. Originally Chris was studying to teach grade school, which evolved into studying English. After graduation, Chris still wasn’t entirely sure what he wanted to do.

More than anything else: what you love will find a way of working its way into your life.

If you’re a good troubleshooter and you want to follow that path then try computer programming, or engineering. If, however, you’re more of a communicator then hone your communication skills.

Ultimately, follow what you love. You’ll get there in the end.
