This is certainly going OT from the original subject of the thread, but what the heck - if this isn't the place for it I don't know what is.
True confession time: I wish I'd taken time off between HS and college. Exposure to the real world - and the undesirability of making a living digging ditches or pitching fries/chips - would have given me a lot more motivation to get all I could out of college, and most likely would have given me the impetus to get out of the ruts I ran in. Luckily due to my family situation, college was free so I didn't waste a bunch of my parents' money, but it took a couple more years after college and what turned out to be 5 more years of education to get some idea of what the heck I wanted to do when I grew up, then achieve it. While the military isn't right for everyone, I know its discipline and emphasis on teamwork would have done me good (assuming of course that I didn't get shot or blown up in the process). So my question is, what experience(s) did you find most valuable in helping you identify what you wanted to do, then to attain it? - Steve ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
