Some believe it's better to know a little about a lot, than to know a lot about little. But for some reason I feel the need to know a lot about a lot. When I find something new that I'm interested in I feel compelled to learn EVERYTHING about it. And I've always prefered to learn on my own as opposed to someone showing me, or taking a class on it. I always seem to learn more on my own, and get a better understanding. And if acquiring knowlege about the way things work is what drives a hacker, computers/security would naturally be the most suitable place for such people. What other subject has so many intricate details to learn and is constantly changing by the day? Anyway, that's my two cents.
