I am a technology director for a public school district. I run a department of three guys who manage 2800 computers and the entire infrastructure of the district. We are under appreciated and gravely underpaid but we like our jobs.

My father was a contractor and I started working for him at the age of 12 years. While working construction for my dad, I also worked at a boat harbor on weekends.

I was drafted into the Army at the age of 20. I completed 3 years active and 19 years Army Reserve. I was a door gunner/flight engineer on a helicopter. I retired from the Army Reserve.

I worked 4 years at a lumber mill.

I attended school for 3.5 years to obtain bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering.


I was a manufacturing engineer and supervisor for a manufacturing engineering group at an aerospace company in Seattle, WA. I retired after 27 years.

58 now. Installed telephone systems out of high school, Stromberg -Carlson provided 3-4 months of Electronics training. Jumped on the PC bandwagon in 82, ended up VP of a mid-sized PC peripherals company at a young age, traveled all over the world, got burnt out in the corporate world. Semi-retired, dropped out at 42, bought a distressed, ocean front motel, fixed it up and ran it for ten years, sold it in 2005. Tried to retire again but am now goofing off at the locksmith trade. Sitting around doing nothing didn't do me any good. Having a pretty good time.
