The Healthcare field is where its at, with all the baby-boomers getting old and needing healthcare, it just makes sense, but i however i hate hospitals and being around the sick.
Yeah... I'm studying Computer Information Systems right now - wish I had done this at age 19, not 29.

I hear ya about the hospital thing. I feel like a need a shower as soon as I set foot inside one. My wife works at a hospital all day and it doesn't seem to bother her though - guess she's immune by now.

"Journalists" from "news sources" such as HuffPo are criticizing the reports from Buzzfeed, who is a partner of HuffPo.

This is like ESPN criticizing ESPN2 with the only goal being the increase of ad revenue.

Regarding the market being over-saturated for computer workers, It really depends where you are. The company I work for has hired an ungodly number of people in the last 2-3 years, the vast majority entry level tech support, and many with no degree. Web hosting is still a growing field, and there's also a serious void for I.T. security professionals (though that's obviously harder to get in to). I think in the coming years more companies are going to realize how piss poor their data security is, and there are going to be some serious job openings.

Consoles: I have too much stuff
Arcade: No seriously, I have too much stuff. Someone grab a shovel and dig me out of my basement.

Just dont try any "on the job training" when you dont work for the company.

:) Baby Bone (real name: Iris Katherine) was born at 3 AM this morning.

:? My wife was in labor for only a matter of minutes. Without getting into the gory details I'll say this - she had the baby before we reached the delivery room. Thankfully everything turned out okay.

Smile: Bought some Trader Joes beer that is amazingly not bad for the price.

Frown: Crap...I'm supposed to be at my girl friend's place cooking dinner. Half an hour ago. Damn you, beer!
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
