Hey bud.. I remember how it was when I was 17... I used to ask the same questions.. and the w/o college part come to find out seriously gets you much of nowhere... While it is a sad fact in the world we live in, that piece of paper or at least the attempt to receive it is the easiest thing you can do to get a job in the tech world. At the age of 15 I LUCKILY got my first job at a small mom & pop (literally speaking) computer store, making and selling computers for the local public offices (only because my boss was also the local sheriffs deputy). That job was received only out of the sheer generosity of a good man. Since that job I have had nothing but crappy retail job experiences (IE. Target(electronics dept.), Staples, and Rex TV & Appliance to name just a few), a t-shirt company, and a crappy cologne and perfume job that landed me in jail for a night for selling w/o a business license. You seriously should look into going to college or at least a tech school as did myself for a really good tech job. At the moment I have the best job of my life working for EATON corporation as an IT Analyst. I as well as my co-workers would have never gotten this far without some sort of extra education. I know it sucks, and I know the thought of having the knowledge to work the field w/o the education seems like it should land you a great position somewhere is lingering in your head, but seriously.. it won't happen without that piece of paper (IE. at the least an AS in Computer Tech.). Look into your local tech college or vocational school, I promise its not as hard as you might think it is. If you truly have the intelligence to work the field then receiving the documentation will be a piece of cake. I went from making a crappy hourly wage before college to making a very nice 5 figure salary afterward working a job that I hope to whatever deity there might exist that I can keep till retirement. I love my job and I know if you make that slight effort you'll find a job doing the same as what you desire. College isn't as bad as you might think it is.. even though it was only less than a year ago, I miss the days of hacking into a cute nerdy female students computer in Linux class, editing her Apache hosted website to say "I PWNED YOU!" and ask her out on a date. If you have the pre-requisite knowledge it'll be a blast I assure you. I wish you the best my friend.. now I'm off to get drunk and remember the glory days while I can enjoy the weekend before getting back to the grinding board of the repetitive strain of adult job-hood... GOOD LUCK!
If the Earth uses its own magnetic field to repel these dangerous particles.. why not generate magnetic fields in some way to protect the satellites in the same manner?

These look cool, might do the trick... I think they're vapor though as I'm not finding them anywhere for sale. http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/semicircle-headphones-keep-you-out-of-trouble/
