Software programmer. IT professional.
Working for my pops right now in the family business. Was going to school for it but flunked out a while ago. Currently trying to get my CCNA and my BS; just got my AS.
Let's just say I'm underpaid, but this experience is really invaluable.

I'm technically a junior in college; I know a lot of the material, and my dad knows that. I just got my AS from the local community college, but other than that, I do not have any degrees.
I'm currently going for my CCNA accreditation too.

The best professional programmer who makes the most money that I know went to school for "music theory".

Yeah, it's more about who you know and what experience you have really. That's why I'm stoked to be working this job. I'll walk out of college with my pick of jobs.

I figured that's why you were asking. You should look into taking CCNA classes at a local community college. (If that sounds like something you'd like.)
You could have your certification in about a year and be making very decent pay. (~$40K/year or more.) Plus there's a lot of continuing education opportunities (CCNP and onward) with Cisco if you want to make more money. (CCIEs make $250K+/year.)

is this something that could be taken on line and respected at the same time? due to personal life it will be hard to work and go to school.

Tech Support / Customer Service for a major video card/motherboard company. No school required, just 14+ years of computer experience and showing that I have the knowledge got me the job. The pay is ok, I think it should be a lot more for what I do. But I've only been there 6-7 months.. and make enough to live. The major benefit is I have 100% of health/dental/vision insurance paid by the company, I pay $0 a month for full coverage insurance. And occasionally get free kickdowns on computer gear and access to special events and whatnot.

Actually, yeah. Depending on your community college. You could probably take 99% of it online. They do want you to get some hands-on experience with the equipment, I think. Although I'd say if you can hook the stuff up in a simulation, you can probably figure it out IRL.

If I ever rented out property that I owned I'd banish anyone that called me a "land lord" lolol.
Great job indeed though.

Work you ass off, pass go, collect 20000,make a down payment on a house that would turn in a profit once rooms have been rented.
Keep the biggest room to yourself, rent other room, split the basement in rooms if possible.
buy 2 fridge and a huge cooler and your all set to go
