And for sure... Yup, I'm short.
I'm a Janey come lately to IT. I didn't start till I was 30 years old. Now, I'm a Microsoft Certified Trainer in .Net as well as Certified Internet Webmaster. I've been training others in this stuff for close to 10 years now. Not necessarily all in that order.
I actually started out gaduating from Cal Poly SLO with an Animal Science degree. I followed that up with about 10 years in the horse racing industry. I was an exercise rider on the backstretch at Santa Anita, Hollywood Park and Del Mar Racetracks. Horseracing also too me as far east as Kentucky to work the auctions and as far west as Japan to gallop horses on a farm.
Now I'm a tech trainer and complete computer nerd. I'm getting back into horses on my own terms now. Computer nerds make more money that horse crazy girls.
