there are so many options available that it's really hard to say "this is what you should do"...

if you're a hardware junkie you could get some certifications and maybe work at a pc repair shop or something of that nature

if you're a software junkie you can do the same

if you like the concepts of networking you can go to school and learn alot more about networking and maybe be a network tech or system administrator etc... (i went to ITT for 2 years and now i'm a network admin of my very own network...)

it's really a matter of where your interests lie

Moved to Tech Discussion since this doesnt appear to be random.

Perhaps you could set up basic systems for small companies?

thanks, i like the idea of working in a small shop,
the other work sounds cool though as a job title, I.T/NETWORKING,
a friend of mine is an engineer for supermarkets, its a lot of travelling but the actual jobs are tiny easy peasy, he asks me stuff and has offered to get me a job there,but its one of those jobs where driving is essential,thx i will read up on those options you sent ie, it/networking/shop thx a lot.

working as a engineer for supermarkets hgas many small broblems.
The thing is not to solve the problem but 2 discover what it is.
Many times its the between the chair and the keyboard.
U need 2 learn the basics and get experiance it is what counts

[Mr.Chow]

Class would be highly recomended. If you want to get into networking chances are they might need you to have linux experiance since alot of servers use linux.

I think the best thing to do would be to find your local community college, and pick up some basic hardware and networking classes. I started there, and then moved on to work in the field, picking up a lot of on the job training and knowledge. I couldn't have gotten anywhere, however, without the basics.
