Tymnet existed into the 1990s at least. I used it for dial-up access to servers at work for remote nighttime support of batch jobs. I don't miss those 2am calls.

Administrators do have to deal with parents, and with the press, and with the police, etc. I'm not saying their job is more important than teaching, but they will be the ones facing the public when anything bad or embarrassing happens

9 times out of 10 when you ask for the quote, the answer will be "what will it take to put you in this car today " and the haggling starts. They will dance and do tricks to keep you in the showroom. You need to be determined to w
