How did you choose your career (semi-long)

I have personally always enjoyed workign with computers, networking, seeing things communicate and setting stuff up. I have always kinda viewed this as a big puzzle, and have always enjoyed it.

This line of work just sorta fell on me, and I enjoy it. It's honestly something I would do for fun (not 40 hours a week, but I would, on occasion, do it for fun) So, doing it for 40 hours a week doesn't bother me.

Yes, this is how I got into it, I enjoyed it a lot. I started learning about computers/networking in 7th or 8th grade, progressed through high school, and knew a ton about network security etc, before my first real class. I really enjoy it as a hobby. I really dont enjoy it when I HAVE to do it 40-50 hours a week, with someone else reapign in the profits etc. Ive thought about starting up my own security firm, and do pen-testing, network assesments, but I am too young to deal with any real talent that i could hire, and do not know many people in the industry.

Yeah, so, start something up, nobody starts at the top bro. It's pretty easy to find people that will pay you to do anything computer related, a lot of people are afraid of it and would rather just not get involved and pay someone else to do it.

I've done a lot of work for companies and it was fun, but I enjoy working a steady job that I don't have to manage a little better right now while I'm still young enough to have some fun.

One thing I want to get into is setting up E-commerce sites for smaller buisness to sell product over the internet. Seems like such a gold mine yet a lot of buisnesses are nowhere close to having this realitivey easy process setup.
