I started in the hardware sales and support, moved into network setup and management. Both bored me after time. I dabbled in C and got into software support which moved me into Q&A. I started reading specs and code. Moved into a support position for a corporation and wrote REXX scripts to manage and stabilize things. Back to Q&A then landed a job as support/developer in 1994. I was given a choice, VB or VFP 3. Since the data I was going to be interfacing with was using DBIII files, I learned VFP. Six years later I moved to another state and have been here at my 9 to 6 ever since. I still don't think I'm a developer, I'm a programmer. Give me a task, and I can make it happen. Put an idea in front of me and the big picture gets lost and nothing comes out of it. As for schooling, I got a GED back in the early nineties.
