Dropped out of 3 universities on 4 separate occasions (liberal arts
program, not science). Was National Merit Scholar. After dropping out for
the last time, spent 10 years as a bass player, waiter, and librarian. Got
my first ever straight job 40 hrs/week 9-to-5 in 1997 at age 33 to write
documentation. Within 6 months was debugging native Tandem TAL programs on
live production systems, which led to software testing, which led to
whatever it is you want to call I do now. As drieux says, I just like to
"make go zoom zoom". It's nice to get paid well for it, though...

Subject: [OT] Education Level
Hello,
A recent job posting has left me curious. I would never
take a full time job as a programmer or as anything else for
that matter. I just don't make a good employee any more.
Been there. Done that.
The job posting demanded a college degree. I had one
semester of college 20 years ago and normally classify
myself as "finished high school". I'm curious: What level of
education have list members attained?
TEA,
Charles K. Clarkson
