In Reply to: OT How did you choose your career? posted by bkpigs on January 07, 2011 at 11:59:03:

My dad wasnt around to direct me in any sort of career path.But I had numerous uncles and cousins that worked in boiler rooms around the area.I got to spend many a night shift in these boiler rooms as a young boy.I did have one uncle who was a life time farmer and I spent many a summer down there also.I used to love that as I was raised a city boy.Driving tractors,shooting guns,taking care of animals.But as I got older I knew this wasnt for me.Join the army at 17,did two years,was a paratrooper and decided I was going to go out northwest and be a smoke jumper.Well time came to get out and all I wanted to do was go home.Funny how some people can just pack up and take off and some cant.Anyways I got my first job in a boilerroom at 19 and 37 years later hear I am watching the water boil.Dont regret it.Good paying job.Can be a little boring for some people though.Lots of shift work.Seen alot of people over the years look down on us though.There we are sittin on our buts watchin the water boil.Well let me tell ya what ,theres a lot going on in there that you dont see,and when the zhit hits the fan you better know what your doing.Ive seen some that thought they did and the results were disasterous.Anyways,if I do regret anything its not getting a better education.I know,theres a lot of opinions on that too.If you apply apply yourself right you cant go wrong when you got the sheepskins.

Good Luck

Stan
