Education
From To School Degree Area of Study Description
06/1992 Present Hard Knocks Other Systems Administration / Design / Programming Since graduating high school, I have been working with misc. providers and projects to beef up computer skills and knowledge. For over 26 years, I have had a hand in computer programming, and after leaving high school, I took that to the next level, teaching myself everything I could about Linux , php, html, cgi, what needed to be done. 

I'm not done learning, by any means, I still seek knowledge and learn in these fields every day, so I would consider the degree a 'life experience' degree, which is more valuable than any degree from any educational facility.
