I just found this story online about a boy from Macedonia (Europe) who is the world's youngest certified IT Professional. I used to think I was a "young" IT Professional! When Marko Calasan was 3 years old, I was graduating with a B.S. degree in Computer Science and Engineering and had already a job lined up. I now have 5 years of experience under my belt... When Marko gets to be my "young age," he will have 20 years of experience in this field!
I love to hear stories of children who are gifted and succeeding. I also like to hear about their parents and how they have contributed to the child's learning abilities and skills. In Marko's case, his family owns a computer school and has been exposing him to technology since he was 3 years old.
This story, which you can read at the telegraph.co.ul site, is inspiring to parents that are hoping to help their child's learning capabilities starting at a young age. It's also inspiring to gifted children who need other roles models to keep motivated. When you read Marko's story, you can see that learning about technology and computers is a fun activity for Marko and therefore he has excelled at it!
I know I choose to be an IT professional because I found technology a constant learning field and that was fun for me... and it's still lots of fun!
