I have a computer degree and thought of joining the service, but who knows what'd be the easiest possibility, i honestly would say that i'd love to fly the armed forces airplanes, but i hear their ranking or qualifying is "tough".
Oh well, private license, here i come, i mean, when i financially can do it.

For those of you that take maintenance generic medications, I don't blame you for that kind of sentiment. I was talking to a lady the other day who takes generic Zocor 20mg (Simvastatin) and we were going to charge her $60 for 30 tabs because her insurance didn't cover it. I looked at our store cost and it was only $2.60... That's like what... 2300% markup??

Driver was the easy part. Getting them to talk and locating the correct libraries on the AS400 are the challenge.
I've given up playing IT man at this point in my career. I have resorted to finger pointing. It takes less energy than explaining stuff that they should know in the first place.

Self taught ---working for a semi-conductor company. done a lot of things but not directly on silicon, mostly on the "software side",,drivers, embedded RTOS, testing (silicon), now doing more IT type work.
On the weekends I help my wife do pony parties and I am a face painter and amateur kid entertaining magician. Until lately had a music gig too. Unpaid work means a taxi driver for my kids who seem to be in too many activities

I aspire to be a sterile stay at home dad with no desire for adoption.
As of now, I am a 21 year old philosophy student with 2 jobs. I kinda dig it.

The other (civilian) route is an expensive one. I've got several friends who have (and are now) going that route. It's a long haul to the major airlines and a real salary.
Back on topic, I'm a pilot too (military).

The USAF will let you in up until you are 30, and they are even handing out waivers for Air Guard units who really want you to fly with them.

I own my own electrical company. It is a ton of work, I am in the field all day, and do bookwork/estimates all night. I ride as often as I can, hopefully in a few months I can begin to implement some chnages into my company to give myself a bit more free time, as for now I just have to roll with it.
My second job is a shorts sausage model. It doesn't pay well

S/W Engineer. I did a lot of low level programming (SCSI device drivers, X Windows display porting, etc.) work but have been doing mostly infrastructure work (glue code) for large federal government systems (FAA, GPS, IRS) for the past 15 years.
