My future job.

[Dangoblin]

Now, i know im only 14 and my "dream" job could change, but i think i know what im going to do. I absolutely want to be a Programmer. Computer programs always interested me and i thought it was cool how you can tell the computer what to do in a more complex way. Along with being a Programmer, i want to be a computer technician. I always thought it was cool how a computer was built and works. I guess you could say that my dad's the one who turned me into a computer freak.. but im not complaining.

Now if for some reason my computer jobs fail, i want to work with the CSI. I love a good mystery and i find it interesting how small details can give such big clues.

So does anyone have any advice to me for any of these careers? (Preferably the Programmer)

take a look in TJP for my 'perl contraptions' posts. i hope to make a thread that teaches perl tommorrow.
those may help(or not)

Programmer I'd suggest take simple programming courses at highschool, until you get to college. Intern with a large company while taking advanced programming courses. Do *Very well* in Math, science and english.

Computer technician I'd suggest go to a local technical school, or community college and take a "Computer science" or "Computer maintenance and repair" course, Computer sciences will do pretty much everything from networking to maintenance usually and a dabble in programming along with web design.

CSI, I do not know how to pursue this career besides take as many math and sciences as possible.
