Government
While searching for a government job i searched through goole and found a site called USA Jobs (www.usajobs.opm.gov) A job that interest me the most is a Construction manager. This job is to over look jobs that are in progress to make sure the building process is going smoothly and on time. When i searched for a construction manager i found that that the qualifications include that a person must have experiencein the feild, must have a degree from a credible college, and must file an annual finacial statement. The salary for a construction manager isnt alot but it is definatly enough ranging from 41 thousand to 58 thousand dollars a year depending on experience and schooling.
Searching News
Google News and WN network are both sites where a person can find information happening around the world. They are both national news sites with alot of information about what is happening around us. They both are very organized in their own way with information. WN Network seems to have more information packed in a more organized way. On the other hand Google News is organized as well but not as much information. Both sites seem to be a very reliable site with correct information that a person is looking for.

Hackers: who and why
There are many things a person can do with their free time but one thing that people choose to do is hack. A hacker to me is someone that breaks into someone elses computer from their own computer to find personal information. They dont have anything better to do with their lives then hacking into someones computer. They look for things such as credit card numbers and social secerity numbers. According to the hackers they do it because they think they are helping people. They say that they do it so people know that it is possible and show them how to prevent it. If they were trying to get people to prevent it then they wouldnt be stealing personal information. I dont think hacking is helping the internet comunity at all. I think it is hurting the internet because it pretty much waste peoples time when they get hacked. They have to deal with so much more stuff then what is necessary. i think hacking is a way of bothering innocent people and it needs to be stopped.
