Why did you choose to be in a certain career that you are in? How was it when you fist joined it and now after working a year or 20 years do you still have the passion and inspiration in it? Do you still love your career?

I tried being a musician in a band. Toured Europe. Got stoned at a party one night and woke up in the Navy's boot camp. I stayed 20 years and retired Went back to school and got a couple more degrees. Couldn't get hired so, my wife and I opened a dog grooming business. She's a professionally trained groomer. I do the big money dogs. Is this REALLY where I want to be in life? Not really. But she couldn't do it without me and it IS her dream. Me? I'd much rather be building WW I fighter planes along with some of my friends. Amazingly enough, there's REALLY good money in it. But *sigh* I DO have a way with dogs. It's not REALLY my careeer. It's just what I do. It's what makes my wife happy. And that is good enough for me.

I chose my career because of my fascination with new technologies and how I enjoyed algebra and calculus. Two years after college I still "like" my career. Although the business environment I work in is fairly stressful with bosses that do too much micro managing, never accept fault, and take disagreements personally. Thankfully I'm on their good side...

I chose this career because I thought it was easy and interesting. I am in customer service and am not going to make it 20 years. 8 years later, I hate it with a passion!
How do I get out!?

I had a chance to play with computers while in college, and learned that people would pay me to do so.
