My story is really a tale of two people. One is the person everyone wanted me to be. And the other is me. After high school I got a job as a "ships carpenter" at Merrill Stevens in Miami. Worked there for a few years while living on my sailboat at Dinner Key marina. Having way too much fun! Remember how the late 60's were like? They would put you in jail today for half the things you got by with back in the day. Well then it happened; strong pressure from the folks to go to college and make something of your self. I thought I was already doing that. So off I go to Fla State Univ. on a football scholarship ( not-just kidding).I had to get student loans to pay for the dam thing. You'd think parents would help if they thought it was so important to be "educated". I got my BS in math and physics and everyone was happy; well almost everyone. Ever try to find a job with a BS in physics? Its amazing how well you can perform at a fastfood place with a college degree! Well, back to FSU for the MBA. Dad says you will make a great accountant since you "know math". After another two years (it should have taken only a year but you need to remember that FSU was still mostly girls back then and it took a while to meet them all),and MBA in hand I landed what my dad called a "really good job" working as a CPA for a national accounting firm. That worked out ok until the firm decided I was a little too creative to be an accountant and suggested I leave for bigger and better things. I think I already had those things back at Dinner Key. Can anyone say "going backwards"? Well my dad never short on advice suggested I go back to school and become a lawyer. Mom agreed. But she always agreed with dad. Soon I'm off to the Univ. of Arkan...Expand for more
