let me start out with some back ground information, I used to have a bit of knowledge of EE and programing but became schizo and lost most of it. it took a while but now I realize i'll never be able to do the things I used too. but I've been getting back into programming (just vb.net so far trying to interface it to sql) and I realized that I still have most of this info in my head so I thought about trying to get an mcse and work under the table for someone. I only want to make an extra 10k a year so my question is would anyone hire me?
it took me ten years of wasted time (and this site) to realize that what I wanted was a BS in applied math, a BS in CS and a MS in EE but now I'm to dumbed down to get those degrees so I have to use what I already know, I tried teaching myself the math but have had a hard time comprehending it (like how to use a limit on an integral? I think rofl,) i'll get back to it in the future just right now it's to dry and not clearly explained.
I know (or used to) debian Linux, openbsd, some windows internals, networking at the datagram level and a little programming. I can read schematics and build circuits but I was never much good with the math. my last job was as a graphics designer using photoshop all day, and I can set up apache and other unix programs, I can write html and if I have to (have to look it up to remind me, not saying I'm any good thou) html, javascript. can at least do hello world in c,c++,perl,vb,python.
I also know things like how processors work at the gate level and can make a flip-flop from transistors if I have too.
so I know a little bit about computers, is it enough to make money at though? I only want an extra 10k a year under the table. I'm looking for a low stress job that's easy like building computers or something. how realistic is this?
