Yes I did..I'm an old F..lol
Graduated in 71..worked at a few places, then I worked at a placed called columbus coated fabrics..long story short I got chemical burns in my lungs.
So while reading the paper there was an ad in back to take a math test and turn it in.
I did, they said I had programmer capabilities and i went to a small school for 6 months where I learned rpg, cobol, and assembler.
I then went to work for a small service co. that went out of business 6 months after I started.
Another long story short, I've been an operator, programmer, network engineer, systems programmer.
