We are back from Florida and darned glad of it. These old mountains have been calling my name. Fresh air is a good thing. I have received the final approval to go ahead and write that master’s thesis and the subject could not be more pertinent right now: Home.

On the making a living side of life, I have been leaning towards more education in computer technology or computer applications. Our school is in severe need of help along the lines of network design and layout. I know enough about it to be dangerous, but a little training could flip the switch and allow me to be of real value here.

The definitely best site that I have found for information on network certification programs is at this link: Cisco certification. Information Technology is a field that offers a whole lot of possibility. My own consternation is deciding where to jump in. I know that I love working with computers and exploring their potential, but the problem is that I like everything about them. I enjoy setting up an access point as much as I do laying out a website. No one can be an expert at everything, though, so to pick a point and drill in seems to be the wisest move.

That is where the Cisco Learning Network site is especially valuable. It gives information on career paths, training and certification requirements, current news about the IT business, and a social learning network to trade ideas with other IT pros and students.

If you have an idea that Information Technology could play a part in your RoadTurn, then check it out and I’ll see you there.
