    Good to know--I have heard (anecdotally) that burnout is common among IT professionals.

    Good afternoon, Fair enough! Thanks for sharing--I may consider that. I didn't think IT help desks would be interested in folks without a lot of certifications already. I will definitely keep that in mind.

    Good afternoon, Though I don't want to get into the specifics of my job, I do not teach computer science. I am also not employed in Oklahoma, for the record. :-) I'm more than willing to spend my off time learning skills, and was merely trying to find out what the best entry point would be. I enjoy writing and would be interested in technical writing. Thanks for sharing.

    Good afternoon. I would be interested in beginning to learn a programming language over the summer. What would you recommend?
