How did you come into your career? Do you feel it is your "calling?"

I always wanted to be a Lumberjack...

I have no plans to ditch this job as I do enjoy it and I could never go back to an office, but I have some stuff on the side I plan on building up over the next 10 years or so and if nothing else it will give me something to do :)

That's cool but I can't find where you mention what you do.:shrug: :)

I fell into my "career". My brother was working as the production manager of a screen printing company and asked if i'd like to do some weekend work, this was shortly before I graduated High School. I jumped on it, and when I graduated the boss switched me to full time status. I worked for them off and on (lot more off than on) from 81 until Dec. 2005 when they closed the doors. I worked my way up from "shop helper" (read Gopher), to printer (Loved mixing ink, I even printed a custom license plate from a photo of my jeep lol), and finally to head of the cutting dept (I WAS the cutting dept) , IT and back-up shipping /receiving and odd deliveries and pick-ups .
