Why am I at MATC?

           Why am I at MATC you ask? Well... to be perfectly honest, cause its free for me at the moment. The military allows me to get a cheap education and I need to abuse these benefits before I lose them, which is in about a year since I procrastinate everything. I'm taking mostly general classes with one IT class right now since I'm still rather undecided on what I want to spend my life doing. However I think getting myself into a field involving computers is the right move as far as job security and pay goes. It also seems like a field that would come easier to me than most I think. I grew up with computers throughout my life, constantly on social media or playing video games, so I'm more accustomed to using them compared to some others that are older than me. I've also held jobs where most of my duties revolved working on a computer in a high volume setting. So the speed at which I type is pretty impressive if I do say so myself. Also one of my main roles in my job was troubleshooting many possible errors I would get trying to submit orders to be shipped out, so I've had a lot of experience dealing with critical thinking and problem solving which are pretty key to working in many of the IT related fields. I hope these next few years in school continue to capture and fuel my interest in IT because the future has never looked this bright.
