I needed a job. I had just graduated, my degree (ocean engineering) was not a huge market; but, the offer was in the city I wanted to live. This was also in 1984. There was one IBM PC in a closet and two Wang word processors that used 8-inch floppies. After two years, my focus was on IT. I don't regret the choice at all.

Helplessness. I have many projects to work upon but have no money in bank. Have not enough money to get a company registered and charge money from the clients so had to accept the job offer.<p>The only good thing I found in my job was the possibilities of polishing my skills as an entrepreneur and learn about current trends in B2B marketing.
