Workplace
After graduating from DeVry Institute (University) I got my first job as a computer operator, I was only there for 3 weeks, don't even remember the name of the company.
I left the above job for a programmer position with the University of North Texas working on the mainframe and programming in cobol and jcl. UNT was a very good environment to work in, the only problem I had with UNT was the drive from Arlington (1hr).
