@trentmemphis - I trained as a mainframe-programmer and spent most of my time fixing other peoples screw-ups and installing software packages from third-party vendors. Large companies don't want in-house developed software because the people responsible for the systems are too lazy to determine what they actually need and don't want to spend the time laying out the specs. Also, if things go south with their "almost what I need" turnkey system, they want a fall-guy to point the finger at. Spend 10 times the money to get half of what they want.
As for me:

1. Movie theater Usher
