I worked here right out of high school as a paid networking and telecom intern, I got laid off, did data security stuff for mobile phone recycling/refurbishment for a year (hated it), worked for Nationwide's IT Help Desk for a year with Mitch and Skinner (liked the work, hated being tethered to a phone), then I got a call that there was an opening in the IT department at the place where I was an intern. Been here since. Going on 4 years now in this job I think? I love it. Just got a promotion as well.
I have an associates in Network stuff, and I almost had a bachelors but ran out of Student Loans. :\
