I majored in English lit with a minor in Geology but was putting myself through night school key punching when I got selected to learn computer spec writing i by my boss at General Electric. I ended up dropping out of Grad School when it was apparent there were not going to be many English lit teaching jobs around and I was fairly competent at spec writing and I thought it was fun, I kept doing it. Haven't done anything but sell stuff on ebay and the odd photo or other sort of job in the past 8 years. I walked out of a job at 62 because my boss was insufferable. NOt as simple as that, but you get the idea. Bottom line - I'm unemployed :) ann -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
