A question about hacking jobs?

You have not given your age or educational information so I will try to give you good general answers on some ways to proceed in an IT career. You will need to go to college to get a degree.

TV shows have tended to glorify various computer careers and created a lot of misconceptions about working in IT. When you mention working in hacking it usually means you have been watching TV. I will try to give you good general answers on some ways to proceed in an IT career in Computing Security. Hacking is a tiny part of the Computing Security subject area and for every person doing Ethical Hacking to help secure systems, by locating vulnerabilities, there are many other people, probably 100s, who are doing Computing Security work. So I would encourage you not to get too hung up on hacking as it is such a small part of Computing Security.

Most programmers who create computer code are not involved in hacking as a part of their job. One way to lose a job very quickly is to start playing around with a hacking tool or code in a corporate environment. It might seem like a cool thing to go out and capture everyone’s username and password, just for fun, but if you did this without being authorized and assigned to do it you would find yourself instantly unemployed and probably unemployable after that incident.

Sometimes on TV one brilliant but crazy anti-social character is shown doing coding, hacking into systems, doing computing security and a bunch of other IT activities. In reality these persons and jobs, as portrayed, don't exist. You see IT jobs are carefully separated so multiple people are involved. This is called separation of duties (SOD). Under this system duties are carefully separated. This prevents one person from accidentally or intentionally having blanket permissions or abilities that could result in data loss. Computing professionals are well educated, professional, carefully trained and cautious. We enjoy ourselves but are not anti-social goofballs.

Your desire to get into Computer Programming is a good decision and will give you a good career. The first requirement for most IT employment is a Bachelors 4 year college degree. If you go out and look at job postings for computer programming job positions you will see most jobs require the 4 year Bachelors and a few will accept a 2 year Associates degree. Most students interested in programming will major in Computer Science. In most colleges this is the degree where these programming courses are taught. Also, Computer Science will typically have advanced math courses included. If you are weak in math then this major will be pretty difficult to impossible for you.

As far as self-studying computer code and programming you can pick up books or search on the internet under "Beginning Programming Languages" or "Learning Programming Languages" and, of course, there is even a Dumbies book on programming which I've given you a link to below.

The thing to remember is that most Programmers who work in medium to large companies are not self-taught. Yes, they may have learned some programming on their own leading up to school and they may have developed their careers by self-study of more computer languages and techniques along the way, but they will almost always have a minimum of a 4 year Bachelor’s degree. Let's say you were a brilliant totally self-taught programmer - a real genius but lacked any degree. You might have the idea that you could interview for a programming job and just outshine everyone including all the Bachelors degreed people. Well it does not work like that. With 50 people applying for almost every IT job posting, without the Bachelor’s degree you would never even be called for an interview.

Learning hacking techniques is a whole different question and there are black hat web sites where you can learn these techniques and tools. As a computer professional who works in the Computing Security realm, I try to be aware of the tools and techniques from the point of view of detecting and defending against them but that is all. Going out and hacking into other people's systems is not something that you want to do lest you create unintended problems for yourself and others. On the professional side of things there are beginning to be courses and certifications available for ethical hacking (CEH certification) which is used to legally perform penetration and vulnerability tests on systems.

If you are in high school start trying to take beginning programming courses and advanced math classes to prepare for a Computer Science degree in college. If you turn out to not like programming and math then look towards a Computer Information Systems (CIS) degree like I have which will have less of a programming and math emphasis. The CIS degree will still allow you to work in the Computing Security area.

Best wishes!

When u seen that the bangs have been uneven and he or she didnt wanna repair them u will have to of contacted the mananger or either didnt pay,and no method should she have cutted ur hair before no longer washing it

not much ,the job pays for itself
