Moridin, I joined the service at 17 as a 51b10. Carpentry and Masonry Specialist. Army to be more specific. I could have had my parents pay for school in a minute but chose this. I spent the next 4 yrs in the Army excelling in Corps of Engineers. I got my Sargent stripes in 3 years and soaked up building knowledge like a sponge. I took night courses in Emergency Medical Technology . I thought that once I got out I would enter this field of medicine. But... once I got out of the service I found out that this is a lower paying job than what I thought(cough..cough).
So I chose to use my building knowledge to make a living. Since that time I have been working in exhibit careers. I have worked many different shops and places and have learned something from every job. (LOA can you relate!) My present job has been the best and I know that whatever you do you must always follow your skills in line with your dreams! (ps. I work with alot of numbers also Moridin! Only we use the metric system.) Oh, I want to learn C.A.D. next and I promise I will never try to become "to comfortable" and not to keep learning somehow!
