I my opinion i must say the coding languages you can learn there are a lot of great tutorials out there for example howtoforge.com is a great resource also tizag.com/phpT/syntax.php just to name a few there also is the python official website which has a complete overview of python.... also getting movies and music an other ware online....
I like taking stuff in school that no one really knows about, I'm in college right now taking Windows Server 03 Network Infrastructure 70-291, it's tough, but it'll be worth it in the end, being a system administrator is my dream. I'm already CompTIA A+ certified and hope to get all the certifications I can. But other than the school/work thing, I like downloading, and facebook, and especially sites like this one..
I like being able to help others. I live in a small community and work here also. I am a newcomer, outsider. I don't work in IT, I'm a steel worker. Everyone has the "best machine" Walmart sells. Then something goes wrong or they want it to do tricks. I've fixed a couple machines for dedicated truckers and slowly the word has leaked out. It always starts... Do you know anything about computers... mine is doing this or that. They are always amazed and pay well. I prefer to stay an outsider. Did you know that there are parts of this Country that look at iPods as a very futuristic piece of Voodoo? You can get internet on that thing? Makes my head hurt.
