Techno geek from MI
I've been posting here for a few weeks and guess I should add an entry here.
I found the site using Google, I was searching for info on my new Ford Escape Hybrid. I got the Escape after getting an '03 Civic Hybrid that I got back in Aug. 2002. I just loved that car, but saddly it did not have the room I needed to haul my junk around. I'm going to U of M for Computer / Electrical Engineering and have tons of project stuff I haul around. I also am a sound engineer for my church rock band so I'm always movin' sound equipment around as well. Because I needed more space and also because I love Hybrids I traded the Civic for a new FEH. My sister works for Ford so I was able to get a good deal.
I work in the computer industry as an IT manager for a non-profit company that serves persons with developmental disabilities. I am a member of the Ford Motorsports Enthusiasts and like to dabble with stuff related to Computers, Cars, Music and Electronics.
With that said.....

What IT managers do
IT stands for Information Technologies, basically I manage a few programmers and network administrators for the computer department of my company. I also do alot of database / application / internet programming, network setup, configuration and maintenance stuff myself.

I'm going back to school and finishing my degree. I went to a community college and got an Assoc. in accounting. I found that I did'nt like accounting work, so I found a job in the IT field. Now I'm going back to get my BSE in CS and EE.

Re: Techno geek from MI
I got my AAS from a local community college before I went off to get a couple of other degrees. It was the best decision I made. Starting out at a local community college is the most inexpensive education or portion of formal education you can get. The quality isn't bad, but it isn't going to be like being at a large research institution either.
