I have accepted a position with Kenwood, USA (yea, the home and car audio people, but that's not the division I'll be working in). I start the 21st of October - I should have done this several years ago, and an ad they ran which I saw in about 2006, was the reason I went back to school for my degree. Well, they ran the ad again a month ago and responded to my resume in 5 business days.

I'll be traveling 26 to 40 weeks a year thru out the USA, Virgin Islands, Bermuda, etc. and maybe a trip now and then out of the country. I have no spouse, children at home or even pets - so I'm free to go and I think I'll have fun with this! As I travel, perhaps I'll be able to meet some of you around the country who cannot seem to make a Dragon GTG!

So, at 51 I start a new job, and enter the corporate world for the first time since I was 21 (worked for RCA for 6 months back then.)

I've got to go buy my own notebook/laptop, I've used the company's for 11 years. I will probably disappear from here and FaceBook for awhile. But I'll be back soon!

I wanted to announce this at the Dragon, but there was an item or two that had to be worked out first...
Congratulations, pizzaguy! Great story, too! "I applied, but they wanted more qualifications, so I went to school and then re-applied and got the job."-basically. That's how it's done! Bravo to you, sir.
