After becoming frustrated with TI Extended Basic, I became a high school physics teacher. After becoming frustrated with issuing bathroom passes and detentions I taught myself Java, got an apprenticeship at Object Mentor, and was a developer/consultant at ThoughtWorks and then Obtiva. Currently I’m a Ruby/Rails developer at Backstop Solutions.
