Just to put me in perspective...
34, male, capricorn, heterosexual
GED because I screwed around too much.
4 years in the US Navy, two of them spent on board a 688 class Fast Attack Submarine (SSN 705).
1 year as part-owner of a role-playing game store
Several of the past ten years have been spent doing computer/technical problem solving.
I've spent a year working in a psychiatic facility as a psychiatric aid.
Presently I'm in college majoring in sociology and working on the school's computer network.
I've seen many different perspectives as to what comprises success and achievement. One of the things I've seen is that, regardless of what your measure of success is, it almost invariably includes continuing to grow, whether it's through formal education or simply personal growth. I see a dearth of that in the people I'm referring to.
