Blaming Sandy and Laverne for not being engineers or scientists for a less than propitious start in life, plus a generous helping of mea culpas, | Blaming Sandy and Laverne for not being engineers or scientists for a less than propitious start in life, plus a generous helping of mea culpas, my first working life was less than it might have been. A success tho in delivering me as a life long learner with [[Mensa|<span style="color: cyan;">high IQ</span>]] and unusual depth of experience to this point where I can fully act on that potential.

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. | 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.
