I have a degree in Fisheries Sciences from the UW. That and $4.50 still get's me a latte.

I started my IT career as a UW student because the computer labs paid twice as much as the libraries did. IE, more beer for me. That was 30+ years ago. I am all self-taught. No formal computing/IT training. I have forgotten way more about computers/IT than I currently know.

Fish didn't pay, but computers did. So, that's what I did and I'm an expert on all things IT.

I am an IT Director for a major environmental college in a 206'er area university.
