Worked for Uncle Sam for a while. After that, I started fixing cars for a living. Did that for 10 years. ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician including Advanced Drivability and Diagonstics. German Car specialist. MB, BMW Porsche, AUDI, VW. Worked for a VW dealer for 3 years, the rest for independents.
I got so tired of working on other peoples cars for money that I didn't want to work on my own. Plus it sucks having to go to work in an unheated, un-airconditioned building. So I traded my hobby and my profession. In 95 I quit fixing cars, took a cut in pay and started fixing computers. Worked for a few places in the process. Now I work for the "Evil Empire", Microsoft. I spend my days telling people how they broke their Active Directory, and how to fix it. Love my work. I spend all day in an office with heat and AC, and come home to my garage with all my tools from my years of fixing cars, and work on MY cars. Plus I make more money talking on the phone than I did fixing cars. The only drawback is that I have gained weight since I have had a desk job. 5 years now with Microsoft, and I wouldn't trade the job for anything. |
