I'm open in possible career paths that could suit me best, since the computer job market is quite vast. However, my dream/recommended job(s) would be a data center engineer/manager or a game developer.
- Graduate school interests
I'm considering a Master's degree, but not certain where I would like to go yet. I might do an accelerated program at Iowa State to get the degree in computer engineering, or move out to Colorado and attend Colorado School of Mines to get the degree in Physics.

Video Games - I enjoy playing video games when I have time and want to relax.
Running/working out - I've been taking time out of my day every couple of days to run a few miles or lift.
Volunteering - Lately, especially, I've been volunteering my time and tutoring, helping people out who are struggling in classes from both high school and college.
