T-SQL Tuesday #150 – My First Technical Job

Welcome to May’s T-SQL Tuesday! Thanks to Kenneth Fisher (t|b) for hosting! This month, he’d like to hear about our first technical job. As he says: “I know most DBAs don’t start out working with databases so tell us how you did start.”

My first technical job actually came out of my first job out of college. I was an English and History major who wanted nothing to do with math or science. I was always pretty good with computers; I always credited that to having a computer in my room my senior year of high school – not because I was into computers but my dad was and he got tired of me kicking him off his computer to write papers for class. But I never wanted to take a computer science class or learn to program. (Cue laughter!)
