Welcome to the club, DustyTexan. I also got started in this business at 12 years old. My first gig was 1 day a week. I would ride the bus for an hour to work 4 hours in the evening dusting speakers and amps at a high end 2-channel store. As i got older i began working summers and weekends and finally full time once i graduated from high school.

Keep learning networking/system programming and system engineering/design. Future you will thank you for it.
