Hey, my Name is Bradley Minton

Hey, my name is Bradley Minton. I am originally for Sale City, GA, and son of a 5^th generation farmer. Sale City is nested in the far Southwest corner of Georgia.  I have been in the north for about a year now with my family and have enjoyed my time thus far.  I am an I.T.M. major; I have six years for experience in the field. I worked at Okinus Credit Solutions where I repaired and maintained about 20 servers and over 200 workstations for almost four years. On top of almost six year of experience with working on computers, I also have read 5 books on the functionality of computers and information system, and have written and revise computer programs and web sites. Besides having a background in computers, I am a freshman with many hobbies. I play tennis for the college; I hunt and fish, play video games, and repair or build PCs for other people. 

The reason I am taking this course is because would like to add more knowledge to what I already know, so I can be prepared for future jobs and/or business opportunities.

After reading and reviewing the Bureau of Labor Statistics article on Computer and Information Systems Managers, I found it interesting that this field is growing every year at a rate of about 17 percent from now to 2018. I also was amazed that you can earn about $100,000 in the first year which is more money than most jobs. Even working with computers for as long as I have I didn’t know that the field was growing as fast as it is. I figured that this field had “settled down” because I thought that must of the need for I.T. jobs had been established. As reading this article the exact opposite is happening.
