Not exactly wings, but I'm still standing...

For my certification (see previous blog), I had 3 exams, which had to average out at 80%. After the first two, I thought I had figured that the third needed to score at least 75, so when I received a 71 I spent a few hours feeling like a devastated failure. Then I looked up the scores, recalculated, and found that I had an 80.333%! I passed!! A few days later, I received official word, with a certificate number. I was extremely relieved.

So... now what?

I'm still working on that, but yesterday I met with my "mentor" (he does computer forensics at the local law enforcement office) and he gave me a couple of ideas, including offering my services to the local camera shops to recover pictures from customer's memory cards when they've accidentally been formatted. I've actually done that once for a friend! Okay, so there's a start. And maybe I'll get some more training/education. That's the thing about education, especially in technology, you can never get enough...
