I started less than a month before i turned 33.
Biology major, chemistry minor, 1990, no jobs.
Got a job at Radio Shack, got fired, got married (wife came with her own 486), got a job in a factory, got into Linux, switched to pizza delivery, wife got a job, we moved, I B.S.ed my way into a programmer's job, jumped ship in 1.5 year to a programmer/sysadmin job, 1 year to a sysadmin/consultant job, fired there at 1.5 years, back to the same as a contractor company at twice the salary in a pure sysadmin role, got dropped there at 6 months, came here to a stable, regular employee sysadmin position, with lots of other interesting, related tasks. I'm almost to the year mark on this job, and i turned 38 yesterday.
