I got my first job by answering an ad in the paper. After that the positions I obtained were by direct application or offer.
I was told very early that the secret was to find what you liked to do and then get some one to pay you to do it.
I loved playing with radio and electronics and became quite good at it but never thought of working at it until I was approached by one of my "Ham" mates who suggested I try to get a job where he worked in the navy radio workshop. After a year procrastinating I took up his offer.
Never looked back.
Planned my retirement at 55 and worked towards it on the old CSS scheme. It paid off. I am now retired with a lovely indexed pension paid for by all you lucky tax payers!
