Namslas90 · Apr 13, 2007

Should have written it in word on your compy, saved it, then copy and paste it to website, that way you don't have to rely on other peoples crapy applications to record your work and you can/will always have a backup!! :toast:

D007 · Apr 13, 2007

LOL
Im 17. You guys are more than twice my age.

At least you oldies are good with computers

Beats the average non-computer-literate parentals

Wile E · Apr 22, 2007

So is it 30 years old, or is it older than 30? Well, I'm 30, but I guess I'm technically older than 30, because my birthday was in January. Count me in. lol

Kreij · Apr 27, 2007

Well, maybe here I can find true peace. lol
I hit 48 this year. I've been in the IT field for 26 years now.
My first (purchased) computer was a TI99/4A, but used computers in high school that used punch tapes for storage.

To all you youngsters ... learn learn learn.
If you ain't on the edge, technology is just passing you.
And while you are learning .... overclock like a mad dog !

Retired? I know you finished your last job but unless you are as rich as me, not well or just plain lazy thats an early age for retirement!

trt740 · May 5, 2007

I got injured, 2 broken legs/ ankels , torn tendons in my feet, neck injury from a 65mp head on traffic accident, a back injury from a fall down a flight of stairs and nerve damage in my hip and several other injuries to many to list. I sound like a marching band in the morning with all the poping when I get up. Not lazy but beat up and planning to find a office job but after 17 years as a cop I'm not qualified for anything yet. I'm returning to college. I will be the old man there.

Good for you Trt740. :toast:

What are you planning on taking in college ?

trt740 · May 5, 2007

Not sure anything but Law enforcement LOL. Maybe finance or computer IT.

Well you really can't go wrong learning anything that has to do with computers as in todays world everyone uses them.

My suggestion would be to go for something you really enjoy, not just for the money, as you will have to live with your decision. If you enjoy what you are doing you will do better at it and the money will come when you are good at what you have learned. I would rather have employees that have a passion for what they do, than someone who just wants the paycheck.

I'm 35, and I'm old enough to not be able to remember whether I already joined this club, LOL.

Damn, sorry to hear that, and I thought gettin shot was bad enuff! Good luck at College, I am sure your time with the Police will stand you in good stead at both College and in any future career. just hope you are better at College than you are at overclocking!

Ouch

Trt, I don't mean to presuppose what you enjoy, but many police officers that I have known are into their weaponry. Have you given any thought to learning the gunsmith trade?

We need good people to keep our firearms in top working order to keep the land free

trt740 · May 5, 2007

Na had all I can stand of guns never wish to touch one again or point one at anyone or anything if I don't have too . I've seen too much of what they can do. I'm sure Tatty can relate to that being x British Army. Maybe If I was a small town cop but I wasn't. Thx for the idea my brother is a gun smith for S&W. He is also a big city cop. Hey Tatty did you fight in the Falklins War?

Falklands was my first in 82, then Northern Ireland, 1st Gulf, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and 2nd Gulf for the invasion in 2003, left in 2004.

I'm 35 and I'm going to college myself. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people my age or older. I guess that happens a lot when you have people that get laid off you, like you, decide they really need to change their career.

Just pick something you really enjoy, that way it's less likely you'll hate your job down the road.
