wow i feel kinda dumb now lol, but i'm also getting into the forensics as well, i plan on majoring in Computer Forensics. one of my classes is gonna be called ethical hacking

Pittsburgh Technical Institute has an information technology major and if u keep a 3.2 GPA for your first year you can major in computer forensics for your sencond year. the gental man i talked to about it said out of the 110 students they had last year 108 of them had jobs within 6 months and the other 2 were waiting for criminal background checks from the CIA. so i'm pretty sure it's a good school lol
