With that said, you can guess how much I make.

Shens! you don't shower!

What industry did you leave? Sounds like some sort of business/engineering.

I was a painting contractor, worked only on High End homes in the Bay Area CA, fell in love with computers, moved to TX to go into entry lvl tech support with a large computer company and now Im a PM (project manager) for them.

Life is Good!

PS. at times I do miss working on my feet, lol put on 40lbs in the last 4 years.

Just to show how ridiculous that method can get:

2001 = X
2002 = 30X
2003 = 35X
2007 = 65X

You just need to start out at a small enough X ;)

Can you guess which year I graduated college?
