    would have been a millionaire if you would have done it 25 years ago.

    depends on what aspect of “computers” you are referring to.

    computer programming or systems analasis are great fields, however most of it is moving to india because they will work cheaper. Network setup and troubleshooting is in demand as well and they can’t outsource that. Get an A-1 certificate and do repairs or set up your own repair shop.

    I think this whole computer thing is a fad - it’ll never last!
