Hello from Upstate New York

[Mouse McCoy]

<div class="bbWrapper">My name is Isaac. I have been building and working on computers since I was 14. Currently in school for Computer Information Science and working the grind in the service industry. <br /> <br /> I came here because I sometimes spend a couple of hours per day on another vB forum, it wasn&#039;t making me significantly wealthier. So, I took MJ&#039;s advice and tried to make changes in my life everyday. Excited to see what I&#039;ll change about myself today. I&#039;ve already read half a dozen threads here since yesterday. Great stuff.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">What up how you doing, I see from second post you are from Syracuse. Well done. I absolutely loved going to that school when I was a sophomore and junior in high school... to learn about the college obviously <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-wink.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /><br /> <br /> Hope you find a good home here. Think you will learn a lot.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Hey, Michael Raphael, I&#039;m fantastic, thanks for asking. How are you feeling?<br /> <br /> It seems like I was intimating I attend SU by saying I&#039;m &#039;in Syracuse&#039;. I don&#039;t I attend OCC for CIS. I don&#039;t want to gripe about my problems, but I came from the financial bottom-rungs of society, and I&#039;m still working upwards. <br /> <br /> I think education is one of the most important things in life, second only to health. I audited (sat in for free) the classes at UC Berkeley I was interested in, took notes and asked questions of the instructors and participated in the discussions for some time. <br /> <br /> The education that I value is not only academic, and I believe that I&#039;m receiving the most important education of my life by participating in this forum. I apologize for any confusion.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">No worries brother. We are all students, regardless of income. Same boat, I have to pay for schooling as well. Went to UConn campus division for a year, did two years there, then transferred to a better school. Luckily, I had my head on my shoulders and didn&#039;t rely on my family, as low and behold the did not provide. So yea do your two years at CC than transfer to a better school. Associates degree is a joke anyways. Bachelors is what matters.</div>
