Hmmm...

I used to be a Certified Auto Mechanic, but knew that I did not want to have to be crawling under cars/trucks when I was 60 years old. After about 13 years or so of doing that... I went to school in the evenings. 4 hours a night 5 nights a week for 2 years to get an AA degree in Electronics. Then got a job in Electronics shop at Disney. Did that for a few years, then when my brother got sick I took over for him in the Electronic Estimating group. They liked my work and asked if I could stay on in that department. Worked there for about 6 years then got laid off. Went back to Auto Mechanics for another year and a half as could not find work in Electronics field. Then got a call from an old friend at Disney asking if I was looking for work. Came in and interviewed with IS department with no experience except my own self taught knowledge. They hired me in the department. Have been working in IS now since 1996 Got my MCSE a few years ago, but have no formal training in programming at all.

I try to learn what I can from some of the guys around here as well. I'm still a long way off from some of their levels, but I have learned quite a bit in this past year thanks to the nice guys around here.

Keep plugging away... [Big Grin]
