Where do you want me to start?

Among other things, I have been a hospital orderly, high school teacher, packaging designer, quality control supervisor, assistant plant manager, computer programmer, college professor, computer consultant...and for the last 16 years, an IT director.

Still haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up

No need to hurry deciding

Never grow up. It leads to growing old.

It would appear that I am a whole lot of late coming to this party ... but what the heck, someone may actually read it

I graduated from high school determined to be a CPA. My advisor my first year of college was the Director of Computing Services. He talked me into taking Intro to Data Processing. That three hour course changed my life! I changed my major, graduated with a degree in Computer Science with a minor in Accounting. I spent the first half of my career in various software development capacities and the second half in Management.

In 2003 I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure, two years later my Doctors retired me. For the last eight years I have been a stay at home dad, shuttling kids, helping with homework and cooking meals. This is NOT what I ever saw myself doing after I retired, but it affords me a lot of time to play with my toys when the girls are in school. In all, it isn't a bad gig if you can get it

I married a CPA most boring parties ever.....glad you got out, saved one soul that way. Your curse in the end was your blessing, your family is the best way to spend time....good gig!

I'm a consulting actuary at present. I've sold paint, taught school, worked with plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc. during my 66 years. For the last 35, I've been an actuary.
