Jeff (J.R.)'s Story
Life
Tons of stuff to cover here, but not enough time to update it at the moment.
Encapsuation: Left Michigan in '86 and moved West to California. Have been there ever since. Reasonably successful in my career choices, and happy in life. The last being most important anyway, right?? :-)
College
I went into college and technical trade schools immediately after graduation (CDI, Wayne State and applied to UofM) but found the full-time school was more expensive a burden than I could bear at that point in my teens, so I opted instead to go to school part-time at Wayne and Macomb - working my way through a 2- or 4-year degree.
A few of my friends went away to Ann Arbor or U of M, but most either entered trade schools, the military or the work-...Expand for more
force.
I don't regret missing fraternity life, or not going away to school, though I would have likely enjoyed the 4-year party :-) As it turns-out, the timing was perfect since I had an opportunity to enter the computer field right as large tech companies like Microsoft, Intel and IBM were just taking-off.
Military
Two years before graduation I went and applied for entry into the US Air Force, but was considered too small (5ft 10in and 118lb..go figure...) for fighter pilot training, so this put a bit of a damper on my desire to enter.
My alternate choices were to enter law enforcement (Michigan State Police) or to pursue a career in Criminology. Did some courses in Pathology at Wayne State but ultimately settled on Computer Science.
