Hi All, I'm a bit of a lurker on this site but, reading the responses from everyone, I thought I'd pitch in.

Out of school I had no real idea what I wanted to do, so without direction I studied business management. I had been tinkering around with computers for a few years prior to this so it was the computing element that most interested me. I ended up teaching computing subjects at the local TAFEs, along with business communication and maths.
I was also a martial arts instructor for about 10 years and ran my own computer networking business.
I went back to school and got an Associate Diploma in IT and later completed 12 months of a Computer Science degree, but I gave that away due to lack of interest.
I've been working in IT for about 17 years doing all manner of things,and currently occupy my time as part of Infrastructure Services for a University. I think I have one more IT job left in me before I call it quits.

On the side I'm a farmer - beef cattle, and photographer. I'm trying to turn my photographic skills to astro-photography but ... this bl**dy weather!
