My progress from jail guard to IT

[just_do_IT]

I dont know how many of you know me, who I am or where I came from.

So let me re-introduce myself....

I worked in the corrections system for 10 years. I was bored, and pretty much burnt out. Working in a jail is crazy.

One day on the internet, I ran into a problem. It was software as I recall, and went looking for a solution.

I found a board - a little board that I found as a fluke.

And this total stranger helped me - He did not know me - but he helped me.

As time went on. I learned a great deal from this man. He taught me so much in so little time, and I began to wonder why I was in security when it was obvious I belonged in a world of ones and zeros.

So I took a step. I left a 40G salary and went for it.

And I want to thank the person that kicked me in the butt to do all this...

Thanks BearCat.
