To add to what Cyber1d just said:

1. Fixing things and helping people is cool......you get paid good money and people buy you beer

2. Hacking, being uber 1337 and so on is dumb. You get caught, you have no job prospects, you are poor and people laugh at you.

"The problem with the human genetic pool is that it has no lifeguard"

You say that you think about the future......it is a good idea.........so stay out of trouble

Cheers
