Plenty of new training all the time. And as more companies take a
hold of CBTs or WBTs we get more calls all the time. TONS of
people coming back because there are so few companies offering
this.

I put myself through college playing in a rock band back in the
late 70's Then it was off to work selling cars... (Fords, not that
it matters) I finally got a gig in DC creating a BBS for the IRS
(anyone remember Mustang?). Then I moved to japan and wrote
financial software that linked the Military pay system to the
Japanese banking system. I also got to teach computer science for
alocal College anex (Central Texas College)

Left Japan Moved to back to the states, and worked for Northern
Trust on the web based system that maintained Enron's retirment
fund. I left 3 weeks before the feds moved in and froze
everything.

I left to start developing Flash for the PGA and LPGA. Now I
create training and simulations for fortune 500 companies, and,
together with my son, have just opened a production company that
makes music videos, corporate training videos, and documentaries.
