"Day Job" survey

Hi Don,

Up until this past June my 'day job' for the last three years was the Network Administrator/PC Hardware Specialist for a large Pest Control Company. They sold out to their main competitor.

Since then I've been doing private pc maintenance and Network troubleshooting for small companies while reevaluating what I want to do (definitely something on my own again and not in computers) but as of yet I haven't defined anything.

In the past I served 11 years with the U.S. Marine Corps (a change of political climate (1992) was the reason I got out after that length of time).

For three years my wife and I owned/ran a successful healthy frozen treat franchise that we sold.

For several years I successfully sold both home and commercial fitness equipment (out of a retail store and knocking on doors). This company also mismanaged funds and closed their doors.

Odd jobs that didn't last very long (due to extreme boredom/incompetent leadership) were: security guard, new car salesman, health club manager (largest health club in the US), sales rep for gym memberships, mail room supervisor for a large law firm and finally as the Accountant/Office Manager for an Awning Manufacturing Company.

I enjoy the experience of trying new things and feel I always learn something even if that's only 'what not to do'.
