I'm definitely in IT because I am not well-suited to formal education. I hate the fact that I paid good money to go to college and learn, and right in the middle of a lesson, the guy next to me raises his hand and says "uhhh... What page are we on??" It just doesn't move fast enough. That's why I like IT, it is ALWAYS changing, sometimes a tad TOO fast...
