Father told me of some openings while I was in the Air Force. Had to take some technical tests, only about 6 out of 40 passed, then got hired. Quit the Air Force couple monthes early and moved.

Called my local recruiter and signed up for the Air Force the next day. That was 24 years ago, still serving and will be for another 2 years. They have me working on computers and running a LAN right now, so I am not interested in getting out just yet.
 
I went to a bar and met this 35 year old guy, we started talking about chicks and cars and ways to spend money, then we started somehow talking about computers, graphics, design and what-not... After a while, he mentioned that he runs an advertisement business and needed a good hand to help him, and he thought I would do good from what we were talking about. I agreed because I was unemployed at the moment, and hey, it's been fun. But I'm thinking of quiting the job to work at Autozone, tired of working around computers, want to work around cars or audio. I get paid really well, but sometimes it's not the pay that matters.
 
sorta thru an ad applied for a job with the company i'm at was offerd the job but didn't take it because they only wanted to hire me parttime at the time. I was board one day and sick of my job and called the guy that offerd me the job and he said he had a full time job just open up and offerd it to me.
