I've been doing something thinking... (uh-oh)
When I was in high school I was fascinated with any job that involved computers. After studying in high school and working so hard for the school to pay for my A+ cert (hey, I thought it was a big deal...) I thought I was golden! I landed a Tech Support job my Junior year of high school and also worked weekends at the school re-imaging computers or whatever needed to be done. I was very excited and told all of my friends how I would be fixing computers all day and taking apart this, installing that, blah blah. It took me 2 weeks to realize how much I hate tech support, no offense to those of you in the field. It just wasn't my cup of tea. This made me wonder...
What is an average day in the office for you security professionals? What does it consist of? What is your work schedule like?
I'm interested to see the difference between the career side and the hobby side.
