<p>[QUOTE="Captainkirk, post: 350797, member: 2356"]I've been to college twice, and I have two degrees in computer network administration, my last stint in school, I had 27 As and one B. BUT, I live near Erie, PA, and there are so many colleges and so few jobs, that the best I could find after 60 resumes was some part time troubleshooting jobs at just above minimum wage with no benefits and you have to wait for the boss to die to advance, and the boss is 20 yrs old, I have grey hair, and was 45 at the time, so nobody wanted me. My point is, Geography is a big factor. I could go 50 miles in any direction, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Toronto, and get a job, but I have a house , wife, and 2 kids. My unwillingness to move has caused me to stay in the tree climbing business for over 40 years now.</p><p> Get the education while you are young, it gets harder to find a niche by the time you are 40.
