So what degree has everyone earned/working on?

What degree? I fumbled around in college during the early 80's. Went into business for myself. Had a great time. Did some outside sales. Had an even better time. Brutal car wreck in early 04', put me out of work for 6 months. Fortunately, I had killer insurance and disability. Enjoyed the hell out of rehab. Saw all kinds of whiners there. "I cant lift my shoulder, it hurts"..."Dont make me walk it hurts.." Screw that. Rehab was awesome. I owned it. I told my body what it had to do and expected 150% out of it. Went into the Oil and Gas business in 04'...Freakin' full steam ahead, baby.
Keep your windmills, hoss. This country is owned by fossil fuels. You can thank me and thousands like me for keeping you on the road.
Greg, I hope you and your family have a great holiday!!

Z so you're a fellow dropout ?

Attended UNT and studied business after getting out of the service. To augment my GI bill and assure that I could eat, went thru the academy and worked full time as a police officer. Working 6PM-2AM with day classes was a killer, so I dropped out. Enjoyed police work for several years and was promoted thru the ranks to lieutenant. Left the PD in '65 and went to SE Asia as a civilian advisor. Returned in '66 and joined a Dallas based international corp as a security specialist. 5 years later promoted to management and stayed until retiring as a division senior vp of operations.

BBA in Management then 20 years in the Army. Masters work in History at Old Dominion University. Now a dirty contractor with Lockheed Martin running a contract trying to keep terrorists off of airplanes. And no, I am not responsible for fondling folks at the airport!!
