What do we do for jobs?

[Taipan]

Greetings,

After a quick shot as an officer in the French Army under the direct orders of a Foreign Legion general (ouch... but best leader I ever had, RIP Sir), moved to HongKong to run an export business then back to France for an MBA (INSEAD for those familiar with that field).
Later joined the world 2nd retail chain as deputy director, int'l purchasing, -after an assignement in Istambul, Turkey- while investigating private business opportunities in Australia.
Switched to online commerce during the dot.com boom and sold my company to a major US online media property while the crash was homing in , spent some time there as part of their EU Managing Board.
Until I re-launched two companies, one in environmental-friendly technologies and one in online commerce.
Currently looking for the next-gen idea that'll get me excited and rant again about days being only 24 hours long (and no, not all Frenchies are lazy buggers going on strike until retirement) 8)

PS : I played Space Invaders in arcade outlets back in 78; yes I'm that old of a fart :thumbsup:

I dropped out of college also. I had a 3.0 average and 12 credit hours remaining. But, what would one do with an art major? I moved to the beach and drove a garbage truck for a year. But that was a long time ago.

Woots, KCMO! I grew up there and really miss it here at school. Well, I don't miss the snow and ice and subzero temperatures during the winter, but South Carolina just isn't as nice as home. Clemson University is kind of out in the country, so I'm basically a "city boy yankee" out in the middle of the rural South. :S

That's awesome that you own a shop in the Plaza. I've always liked that area and wanted to live there. Maybe I'll get an apartment down there someday when I get tired of school. :thumbsup:

Glad to see a Subway person in here I'm a 24 year old Su-chef at a middle class restaurant and I cook food for people that pay to eat it! Go food! I really need to go back to school and do what I love most.... Comptuers, programing, and video games

Nice, I live in the KC area as well, on the Kansas side though (Olathe). Nice to see some (relatively) local folk around.

I am not very surprised really. I assumed a broad yet geeky inclined user base. Your average burger slinger isn't *likely* to have the capital and mental resources to figure all of this out.

Hey....I make sandwiches at Subway :P hahaha

QFT, I work 12h a day on average as a Senior Java developer for a startup company in the bay area

No worries TMNT, making a complex, custom-order sub is far more challenging/rewarding than sticking a slab of meat under a heat lamp and calling it a day :p(Not poking fun at you, promise)
