I have some training in both the business administration and accounting 
background. I can be of some help there (I really need to go back to school, 
get my cert out of the way and become a cpa or just stay with this and become 
a systems administrator.

either way, I really need to put my skills to work and earn some money. I am 
very tired of having to put up with living on the public tit (disability).

let me know...

thanks.

Mage.
