Fuckin gooch. Beat me to the god damn punch.
Never went to college. During HS, I got a job working (for a friend of my parents) as a graphic designer. I started out doing more apprentice type shit, but quickly moved up doing my own projects. I really liked that job because I was all over the place doing a little bit of everything. I just hated the witch I worked for. I was in that job for I guess about 4 or 5 years.
After that, the owner of that company opened a second business doing record retrevial. No, not music albums. Medical records and such. Most of the stuff we were doing was gathering materials for law firms to build their case. We did alot of litigation work including the NY/NJ asbestos litigations. We were the only firm allowed to work on those cases. I was doing paralegal type work, however every now and again, I would be called on to hop in the car and drive into Cornell or something to pick up someone's half chopped up lung or an old breast implant or something.
After 2 years in that, and getting totally fed up with that witch, I went to a temp agency. I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I figured they'd pop me in somewhere and I could check some stuff out. My data entry skills are through the roof, so they got me a job doing that. When I was placed in the job, I just happened to be sitting in the room next to one of the heads of the MIS department. He took a liking to me and got me a job here full time. At first I was doing some graphic reproduction. Reproducing logos of magazines and newspapers mainly. Then I moved into the tech support department where I'm the head. I don't have the fuckin title or the salary for it, but such is life. My company does Media Monitoring. WTF is that? There's a few things that are the main part of our business. One being we have people sit and watch TV all day and do transcripts for TV shows. Oprah, 60 minutes, blah blah. The other main portion of the business, and the one the company was founded on, is aarticle clipping. We read newspapers and magazines for PR firms and companys for "keywords" that they specify. We then send them the clipped articles and charge them for it. WEEEEEEEEEEEE! Boring as fuck! But I like playing with computers all day, and I have a natural ability for it. I've done literally EVERYTHING with computers in this job.
