Читать книгу Start & Run a Rural Computer Consultant Business - John D. Deans - Страница 8

I got into the IT industry very early in my working life. I had been a pretty good student in high school, but after graduating, I quickly discovered that college was not for me. However, I had to let my parents know that, so with my stomach in knots, I met with them and told them that I was dropping out of college. I had never really wanted to go in the first place.

My dad, surprisingly, said, “OK. Now it’s time for you to go find a job.” Since I was 18 and still at home, he also informed me that I would immediately start paying him rent and it was due at the end of the month, so I’d better get after it.

That was what I wanted to hear. I may have disliked school, but I loved to work and get paid for it. I was ready for the future.
