    Hi Kinglsey, you talk about how to become a web designer, web developer, computer programer, data analyst, sql programmer and business analyst. Just about every job that has to do with coding, software development or databases. But I never see you mention anything about computer networking. I was wondering if you dont like computer networking or if it does not have the scope that software development related jobs have. It seems there is a fair share of people that did not like programming that found networking exciting. So, what gives in regard networking?
