Gee, I thought the idea was to give away the razors and make money on the blades.

My most recent employer was Bethel Camp for the Arts, which is a bit of a misnomer, as it's got a pretty wide spread of programs (everything from culinary arts to golf to tennis to robotics). I found out about the camp (which is in the tiny little ski town of Bethel, Maine) here on ChiefDelphi, actually.

Much of my remaining job experience has paid little or nothing, actually. I spent all four years of high school working with AFJROTC, where I progressed up to deputy group commander (#2 in the corps). Every position I gained in the corps was pretty much a direct result of experience and working with the instructors.

It really does come down to who knows what you know.
