Hey guys, Im thinking of persuing schooling for electronics. Sick of the IT Helpdesk crap I do now and think I would enjoy doing something in electronics, (I did a lil led box once with 8 leds and ran a old linux app to make it do the knight rider bit) Thats about ALL the experience I have had, Never sodered or anything, I was wondering if you guys knew of some good books, kits, I could purchase to give me a starting point and taste. Thanks!

What kind of job would you be trying to get ?

I dont know yet. I just need out of Helpdesk. I used to love computers and all the helpdesk jobs I have had have beat that out of me. But I still love the idea of building something electronic. I figured I would start out and get alot of the basics and then kinda figure out a direction to go. Right now I work at Micron in Manassas, VA supporting the entire fab. Even tho there are alot of Engineer positions there I would really like to get away from that place.
