I dropped out of high school. Ended up getting my G.E.D and working various jobs until I was 26. Met my girlfriend (at the time) wife and ended up going back to school to get a B.S. in Computer Info Systems. Going back to school, best thing I could have ever done.
I worked at Metakote, I think that's how you spell it. It was a factory where they painted parts for large Caterpillar tractors. Then worked at Farm Supply helping farmers manage their crops. My favorite was working on the river. I worked on the Illinois River tug boats. That job was the BIGGEST pain in the fucking ass ever But, it was also the most fun. When I was on the night shift - if nothing was going on I got to sleep all night. But, during the rain and winter months; the worst job imaginable.
