    Well, I'm at the end of my career. Worked as an auto mechanic for 7 years, mostly self taught. Put myself through computer programming school, started as a programmer worked my way up to IT manager. Went to college at night, the company paid for most of that. Been at this company since 1975. Now I have a new boss (sucks) and i'm trying to hold out for two more years until my wife can retire, she works for the same company, for me. The guy micro-manages everything. I have a salary review tomorrow, first with this guy, should be interersting. Good luck to us all

    If you can't work on a GP you are not mechanically inclined. That's one reason I like mine.
