As a Mac Ninja, I get this question a lot. "What did you learn today?" Sometimes it is a question I can easily answer and sometimes it isn't. Yesterday however, that question was easily answered.

When I graduated college I took the first job that was offered to me and it was actually in Public Relations. My advice to recent college graduates, stay out of that field. Two years after I was at my first job I was laid off and it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me. Now you're saying, how the hell is that possible? I took some time off to re-examine what I wanted to do and decided it was time to go back into the tech field. Next thing I know i'm working as an...
