It sounds like you want a good-paying job that is easy to do and fun all the time. Don't we all.

Networking requires less expertise in the academic sense, but that doesn't mean that it's easy. Networking changes very fast and requires you to constantly work to keep up with new technologies and products, even more so than with programming. There's also a lot of responsibility that comes with networking, because you are on the front lines of security.

But you can forget about any sort of professional career until you learn how to write. I don't mean that as an insult, but serious advice. A resume written that way will get you nowhere, and writing an email like that on the job in a professional setting would make you look incompetent. So really, forget about programming and networking for now, work on writing.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
