Geek or nerd? I kinda prefer nerd.now back to computer geek.
Was a computer geek for many decades, then a Bicycle store warehouse guy, then a box pitching guy in the warehouse for a tech chain store, and now back to computer geek.
Uhhh. I don't get paid for this "Hobby". Quite the opposite, so from the "What's your real job" perspective, yeah, I left it. :-DWho you kidding.. you never left that computer geek roll you dronin master you!!
Well, it occupies your time and is a primary responsibility for you, so I'd say it does.Does middle school count as an occupation? 😂😂

I'm either going to try and get into the Air Force, ATP, or be an aeronautical engineer.Have you any thoughts as to what you want to do?
Nice! Enlisted or Officer?I am going to high school next year, but I want to be a mechanical engineer (working in the aerospace industry) at some point. I might want to join the Air Force before that though.
If I do join I would want to be an officer and fly fighters. Of course I might not even join because if I do I have to serve for 10 years and I don’t want the decision to be a mistake.Nice! Enlisted or Officer?
You have to think VERY carefully about what path you take. I almost joined the US Air Force academy and right before I applied I realized the officers life wasn't for me. Godspeed to whatever path you take!If I do join I would want to be an officer and fly fighters. Of course I might not even join because if I do I have to serve for 10 years and I don’t want the decision to be a mistake.
I graduated in 1977, shortly after the Vietnam War. At that time, military enlistment was in a serious slump, as a backlash from the Vietnam years. The perception was that the only people who joined the military were losers with no other prospects. As a result of that, newly inaugurated President Jimmy Carter considered reinstating the Draft, as Pentagon Officials were concerned that military manning was too low to meet a potential situation.I graduated high school in 1970's during the Vietnam War. Nobody was volunteering to join the military at that time, we had the draft. Both my younger brothers signed up in the 1980's. One went to Navy OCS, he had a degree, and became a Flight Officer. The other joined the Air Force and was sent to nuclear missile tech school. Both brothers did very well getting civilian jobs because of their military background and training. The Navy officer did very well working for Oracle Software and the Air Force Tech was an engineer for IBM R&D on the team that designed the Watson. If you are technically minded some of the best training and experience you can get is in the military. Your other best option is a college degree.
