Additional questions:
I am currently working at an Apple Authorized Reseller and Service Provider in Paramus (phew, what a mouthful). There I fix and replace apple products and teach lessons for new and intermediate users. My desired occupation would be in technical support for a large graphic arts facility or school, or anyplace where there is a ton of broken stuff to fix. I hope to graduate next semester. The greatest benefit of this type of course is the ability to work on assignments at night as I am usually tied up during the day working. Really enjoy being able to access the information from anywhere. Including work . Aside from my tech obsession, I really enjoy playing music and taking photographs.
