AT&TAT&T Information Management Systems
Jan. 1977 - May. 1985St Louis, Missouri, United StatesI was hired by Southwestern Bell which later became AT&T in 1977 when I was 17 years old still in High School... I had a 3.9 GPA and could type 110 WPM... I had scholarship offers from several schools... I could've graduated in three years but decided to stay an extra year to apply to college credit... I just on fluke applied to several major corporations, just to get feel of things.. I was offered job on all of them... I talked to AT&T and they were like we'll pay for college, come work for us... so, I had to get all these clearances from STL School Board of Education, Soldan High School because I was too young to enter workforce... all was approved... and I here I am, a child lol, put into a downtown officespace and was in the transition of the company going with computers... it was exciting work and I went to Washington University classes and earned Business Administration and Marketing Communication Certificate... meanwhile DJing in clubs on weekends... However, I wanted to become an entrepreneur and decided after 9 years at AT&T to go out on my own... and have literally been doing it ever since.
