I graduated in 1983 with a BS in Comp Sci and spent the next 15 years in retail sales/management. (that's a whole 'nother story) I left that dead end career in 1998 to work full time with two friends handling the in-house web design for our own adult web hosting company. We ended up selling that business to a non-adult conglomerate who wanted our streaming video infrastructure.
I then took a hiatus from the adult side of the business while taking care of some family obligations (mother & grandmother in poor health).
I got back into the biz about 2 years ago, lots of changes! Some of what I knew was still useful, and the programming background is handy, but I pretty much started over from scratch.
I work twice the hours I did while in retail, but when it's for yourself it doesn't seem to matter.
