For the last 15 years, I have run a small international transportation company specializing in the Caribbean, Central and South America (yep Edgar, I am VERY
familiar with El Salvador).

In five years...I hope to have several million dollars in the bank...able to shoot better than 50% from beyond the arc...have a 3 handicap (or better) on a golf course...spending more time with my kids and wife...failing that...


Drinking in Utila, watching Edgar teach scuba and paying a local fisherman for my food!!!!

Right now, I am a student.

In five years, I hope to be playing college ball. I may even be able to go DI if any Ivy chooses to accept me.

Schools that have contacted me:

Bentley
Rider
Stone Hill College
Conn College
Trinity
Boston College
BU
Bucknell
Carleton College
Dartmouth
Cornell

I came in contact with a lot of the coaches of those schools at a summer camp in Easton, MA (Hoop Mountain, for those of you who may have heard of it).

Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Coach McLaughlin is a great guy, but If I get any serious interest from Cornell or Dartmouth, I'll probably end up going there, since BC (the best basketball school) probably won't want an undersized, shoot-first PG in the end.

I'm a Control Operator at a power plant in NC.  If you aren't sure what that is, just picture Homer Simpson and that's pretty close.

I'm in web design, rougly speaking.

A more detailed version of what I do; I'm a user interface designer. I design intranets, applications, websites, I write test scripts, I code html/css and I do consultancy. Mainly I just know about usability and how to implement it into applications.

If you want to put stamp on me, make it say "Talkative photoshop guru" or something along those lines ;)

Hahaha, well, that's not what I do for a living, is it ;)

But yeh, I'm just a graphics junkie. Given the time, I dare to step out to other means of visual creativity; film, photo and painting/drawing.

But yeah, Avatar design is a fun thing to do too ;)

Reminds me, I should visit that topic again soon :x

I'm in my 32nd year of Federal service in the Air Traffic Control biz.  Four years as an Army tower controller, the rest with the FAA.

Started as a radar controller, have since done various types of staff work, became a front line supervisor, and a manager.

I'm currently an operations manager at a major radar center.  I manage 6 first level supervisors and their teams of controllers, and I oversee the operations of the facility during my shift.

I am retirement-eligible, and within the next five years I hope to be financially set to retire and do non-paying/low-paying work that interests me, like community service, or short order cook.  Ideally, my wife and I would like to do something together.

I am finding this thread facinating!
sometimes you have to bite your lip, exhale and move on.  So, I have.

Off topic but my father has been saying for years that when he retires he will either open a bait shop or a diner.

Maybe he can kill two birds with one stone and open a sushi bar ;D

I bought him a t-shirt for fathers day when I was like 12 that was something something bait shop and sushi bar.

I never even got the joke when I bought the shirt...but it had one of those green logos that saki has on them, like the green karate kid sun thing...it looked cool and said bait shop.
