If you worked in the IT field you would know there is enough work to do without creating more for oneself.

The world is full of jerks with nothing better to do then to sit at home and creating problems for others. Hacking is game for those who love challenges. Being able to do it in the confines of your home or public place that allows internet access makes it more convenient.

Do you really think Network Associates, Norton and the like have nothing more to do then to cause millions of dollars in damages and then turn around and spend as much building a defense against them? Securing computer systems is a very intense expensive task that requires a lot of intelligence to stay with and better yet, above the ever changing technology used. It isn't just viruses, it is spyware, adware, keyloggers, password stealers, phishing, and so on.

My answer is NO!
