  2. Introduction Introduction I first got introduced to computer programming when I found out my friends dad was one. They had a two story house, trampoline, three game systems, and a 42 in flat screen tv. They also had 4 computers. He worked for Dell and I thought that it must be a good job that they have all they stuff they do. So I looked into it more and it sounds like something I can do.

The thing I look forward to most is the pay. I will be able to support my family if I do get a job in this department. It is also a very safe job. I could also work from home which would be very nice.
