Most people go through life by accident. I always envied those people who knew what they wanted to do early in life. I had a degree in History, that I took, principally for my own edification; It would take too much effort to study something I had no interest in.

I figured some company would train me to do whatever it was they wanted me to do. Early on I was a carpenter, sold cars, owned a pinball parlor, peddled copiers door to door. Then I met a guy who had a job in, of all places, Libya, and being bored to tears, I took the job. It was being a junior manager in a construction company, but being in Libya in 1979 I learned a lot more than construction. I parlayed that into a much better job in Saudi.

While in Saudi, my father called me and said he wanted to buy a product line. He would be the the inside guy, I was the outside guy. A couple of years into it, my father retired and after about fifteen years of shakey business and nail biting, I turned it into an international business. We were very lucky.

Ultimately, you've got to believe in your lucky star. You can do anything you want, as long as you're realistic and want it bad enough.

After 11 years in the Navy Submarine Service running nuclear power plants I focused on automation and robotics. I spent 19 years in the industry and completed three turn arounds over the last twelve years. Stopped working in that industry this past summer. I am now opening a pre-owned car dealership focusing on 2 - 10 year old German cars as well as special interest, collector and race car sales.

Follow your passion, it will provide the conviction and gratification you need!

[Malaga76]

Diplomat...40 years in the U.S. Foreign service. Immediately after grad school, I started out as a professor of finance and accounting at UW. Got bored with teaching and joined the U.S. Foreign Service on a whim. Now working part-time as a consultant with the State Department on reconciliation/stabilization programs in post-conflict countries. If you have any interest in foreign affairs or international business at all I highly recommend the Peace Corps; it will give you a new perspective on the world and will serve you well on many different levels no matter what career path you end up choosing.

BTW: The foreign service is largely responsible for my interest in the BMW 2002. After seeing a few on the road in Europe in the early '70s I was intrigued. I ended up picking up a brand new 1972 Inka Orange '02 at the factory in Munich on my way back home after a two year stint overseas. After driving it all over Europe for 6 weeks, I had it shipped back home to the States. I had wanted another 2002 ever since until I picked up my Malaga '76 earlier this year...just as much fun as I remembered...
