1974 is the actual start because that's when I took training at the schools Control Data was running and actually did first programming, but I went back for a 4 year degree majoring in Math and CS and only had operator jobs before 1980. I did have a DP course at a community college before CDC in '73 which pushes it back to my teens. The Control Data Institute I went to btw, was in the building shown on the Bob Newhart Show at that time on Michigan Avenue as being where he had his office.

From the late nineties I mostly worked remote, but did work on-site in Buffalo in '14/15, and from the late 80s 60% or so of my work was on a contractor basis, from the turn of the century largely independent of 3rd party parasites. By late '21, I consider this phase of working life conclusively ended, the last actual non-PWYWG gig was early '19 I think. An unfavorable start in life,  a less than propitious childhood, led to my first working life being less than it might have been. However I think it was a tremendous success in delivering me more or less whole, as a life long learner with a [[Mensa|<span style="color: cyan;">high IQ</span>]], and considerable depth of experience as an IT worker, to this point where I can work for myself, society at large, and direct production. Although I knew early on that wage earners never escape commodity labor earning levels, only the unfolding of time landed me at a place where I could fully act on that knowledge.
