[QUOTE="DaveStebbins, post: 2222094, member: 1427"] Started out in Computer Engineering at RIT (in 1980! my first lab was on punch cards). Made honor roll for two semesters then dropped out because I didn't want to do college at the time. (Didn't help that my father decided not to help me out with expenses, even though I was going to his alma mater.) Was a complete bum off my mom's meager income for three years, took the first job I could find for spending money and unloaded trucks for two years before deciding that sitting on my butt in a classroom no longer looked like such a bad choice. Went to the University of Buffalo and graduated with an Industrial Engineering degree. Ten years later I went out and got my P.E. certification (first try!). Been working at the same company since I graduated, my current title is Operations Planning Specialist. It used to be Senior Operations Planning Analyst, and I'd tell people that I put the 'anal' in Analyst. :) -Dave (the long-winded) Oh, yeah. My group containstwo other Engineers (both Mechanical, I think), one who just completed his PhD. The others all some post-high school education, mostly technical schools, I think. They're all smarter than me. [/QUOTE]
