Starting to feel chronically unemployed... been almost a year now and about the only thing happening in the industry that I REALLY ENJOYED for the last 21 years (Pharmaceutical sales) is lay off after lay off! I was a big fan of downsizing till I was the one downsized. Should have known they would take those that make the most money and are most productive right?!
Thought about trying exotic car sales, but then I realized about 75% of the time or more (especially these days) all they do is sit around and watch the paint peel...mind numbingly boring...I couldn't do it. I love cars, but I love the people interaction more, I would die if I just sat around all day!

I actually started around 1980 programming on a Radio Shack TRS-80, then purchased an Atari-800 (with an extra "16K" of RAM) and wrote some interesting architecture programs; then progressed into Fortran IV/77 during high school, then mainframe IBM/370 Assembler after college. Yes, I developed in Assembler for about 8 years. We needed it's raw speed to process billions of records at blazing speeds. Nothing can match the speed of Assembler....but I haven't touched it much in the past decade or so.
Now, I specialize in web development (PHP, sql, etc) and software development (Delphi, etc). Sadly, this economy has really hit this small company I'm working for, so if I don't get some gigs soon, I may be looking for work. :/

I'm a Regional Director of Sales for Dollar Tree. I have 13 Districts with 172 stores in Alabama, Florida and Mississippi. My average store does $1.5M a year, one dollar at a time. Though some do as much as $5M. That's 1.5 million pieces of merchandise in the back door, on the shelf, through the registers and out the front door in each store. It's a lot of work and my folks work harder than any other retailer for each dollar they bring in.
It's a great tie in for my degree in Nuclear Engineering.
I spent 6 years in the Navy since they were nice enough to pay for college. 9 months in Desert Shield/Storm. But at least they taught me how to turn a wrench.

I have worked in the electronics industry for 33 years!
9 companies, from speed control radar technician to electrical design engineer.
I designed many of the motherboards for major computer companies from 1996 thru 2003.
Then designed network interface cards (NIC's) for 3 years.
Last few years, electromagnetic simulation of high speed (2.5GHz to 10GHz) interconnects and interfaces.
Here's brief walk down memory lane for my fellow geeks;
Anyone remember MR-7 speed control radar?
How about, DEC system 10/20, PDP-1 thru 11, VAX-11/780 or IBM 370? Maybe what a VT100 was?
Do your remember the difference between, IBM PC, XT and AT?
I bet several programmers out there remember LEX and YACC or what MASM was? Also GREP and MAKE.
May be even what RSTS and RT-11 were?
Old technology never dies, it just gets updated.
Cheers,

Such an old thread ... I'm in Information Security for Bank of America. Been in IT for about 15 years. Previously Microsoft and Boeing. Before that, law. Glad I got out of that.
