Wish You Were Here

Following are a couple of re-edited e-mails I've recently received from former students. Enjoy the look inside.

Its been different. Got a job, the typical teen stuff cell phone sales, boston market and etc. Then reality sinked and I realized it sucked. The whole time I kept on going with my IT passion, centering around software development (server-side ASP.NET, and client-side Win apps). I managed to get a job as a web developer, focusing on server-side intelligence and graphic design for custom web sites. With no degree I was making ok money, nothing surprising though but a good experience to learn from. The company tanked big time (due to the owner). Then I managed to get a job here at *** as a "Bilingual Account Resolution Specialist", not bad considering it allows me to pay my family's mortgage. The whole time I've been in Colorado escaping what I now realize is my imminent return to Mexico. I currently work in a vast labyrinth of cubicles while passing as a white collar drone. I'm working on several different business schemes such as: building video arcade machines from scratch, importing Mexican pop-culture items and consulting work for web development, but none have truly taken off. Once I can secure capital, I am off.
