I was fresh out of college, married w/2 kids, 1982 hooked on w/time warner doing the first addressable launch in the nation, Jackson MS, I was starving and started as a DTD salesman took me 2 weeks to make my first sale then it was on. Figured out about 5 yrs in the only people that didn't get fired where management and marketing people. Got into the Technical side in 85 and haven't looked back.......Much!
