This profession lifted me out of poverty and made it possible to take up hobbies without having to think about money. I am thankful.

- iothetiger 8y agoSame story here. Never got a BA, mainly because I was raised in a culture of poverty. By the time I was working as an engineer in 2000's SF it never made sense to go back. Now I feel discriminated against by organizations who feel it is a requirement. Luckily at 39 years of age with former employer prepping for an IPO I'm ready to go back to my blue collar roots and start building homes in the Sierra foothills.
