I'm surprised at the answers in this thread. I was expecting most people to have de-evolved with long term membership, at least skill wise. And I would have bet money there would be a direct correlation to the number of posts you wrote.

Hmm 2003. I would have been in grade 11 or 12 so I had no job, but I did run a small PC repair/website design business. It was kinda my goal to do that full time after college, but it was more of a secondary goal. Realized I did not want to do that for the rest of my life so ended that business in college.

Now I'm a NOC technician working for the phone company. Went to school for IT, did about 4 years of IT for the same company, then saw this job and decided to try it out. The shift work was a big attraction to me. More time off for myself. I'm also much happier now than I was then. Way less stress, more freedom, and more money.
