5 The reason I chose to work in the IT industry is because, since I was little, I always liked working with computers and fixing them. One of the best things I got out of The Gordon, was that everyday when I got home, I learned something new. On the holidays, I would set tasks for myself at home, with the skills I had learnt that semester. For example, I built my own computer, network attached server and a VPN for myself."
