A whole chunk of my social life, my friends, my buddies disappeared within 2 to 3 years. That experience woke me to the fact that slaving from 8 to 5 for someone else wasn't worth any of the "security" in the world. If I hadn't lost my software development job in 2001 due to outsourcing, I likely would have jumped ship eventually. I was seeing too much of my life slip away. Even though I was authoring software to assist in organ transplants and we had documented cases where some people's lives were saved, that still wasn't enough after awhile to stir me to go to work each day. For the record, since you were generous with your information, I have no formal training in computers whatever. My college background was educational psychology first, and then I realized I didn't want to do psych. I switched to telecommunications with a specialty in radio and TV broadcasting, and then dropped out short of a degree. I am a licensed commercial radio engineer (General Class Radiotelephone with radar endorsement.) I got into computers because I met a guy on a train whom I was interested in dating. He had use of the computer lab late at night and invited me to join him. At the time I thought computers were just used for accounting (this was the late 70s) and had no interest in computers, but was interested in him. He told me that he could do music and graphics on computer. I had no idea what "graphics" meant, and I definitely had to hear the music. Thus, I spent many nights in the computer lab, even though the graphics were basically wire frame lines and the music was single-tone arpeggios and stuff. My work today allows me to work when I wish, sit in cafes or go to the beach or the mountains when I wish, and lead a stress-free life. I also enjoy making people happy; and people are very happy when I've fixed their computers.

I read this once - it reminded me of *my* early years:- "I was one of those kids who built crystal receivers with coils wrapped around oat meal boxes, tinkered with junked vacuum tube victrolas, made intercoms out of old radios, and built one-transistor radios in fountain pens. I can clearly remember seeing my first TV program, Howdy Doody, and, later, thirsting for a new kind of victim to dismember: a TV set." You might like to read it all - it's a good computer site and there's an active forum too. http://duxcw.com/about/aboutdux.htm > My work today allows me to work when I wish, sit in cafes or go to the beach > or the mountains when I wish, and lead a stress-free life.
