    I am a Mainframe Programmer, experienced in reviving years-dead applications and bringing them back to life, because some idiot in admin killed the system not realizing others still use the data for department billing........ :oops:
    Then again, I saved the admin a few thousand bucks doing so, and am reducing their monthly data storage bill - they like having me around...... ;)

    UGRev Get on with it!

    I was originally headed to school for my PhD in Neuroscience. Did a few years of counseling and figured I didn't want to spend the next 30 years paying off student loans. So I became a software developer (.NET , C# mainly). I work for a company out of NYC that builds identity theft prevention software in which I am part of the web applications developer team building companion management interfaces for the networked clients.

    I used to teach software development at the local ITT as well, until they killed the course.

    Hats off to you. That's the toughest job I've seen posted yet; and I say that with sincerity as my wife is a CPA and is pretty much MIA during this time of the year which pretty much puts me in the role of Mr. Mom for 4 months. [beer]
