When I was seven or eight years old I wanted to be an architect. Back then all I knew about being an architect was that my best friend at the time, Guy, wanted to be one and that it included getting to play with a compass. Guy was the coolest kid on the block so if he wanted to be architect, so did I. It took another few years before I realized I didn’t want to be an architect.
My father was a coach and teacher for over 30 years. During my teens as well as through college I don’t ever recall wanting to be a coach or teacher. My father would leave before 6 am most mornings and return home late into the evening, especially during football or Basketball season. The long hours had an influence on me and I told myself that when I grew up and got a job, it would be one that didn’t keep me away from home so often.
Well, things don’t always go as planned. My first job out of college I worked as a retail store manager. The store was small but the hours were long and included most holidays and weekends. When I got into technology a few years later I told myself that I didn’t want to work weekends or late nights. For the most part I was able to do that except I had to travel a lot, much of the time with very little notice.
Looking back on my career I see that the hours I’ve put in average quite close to those my dad worked while I was growing up. But what I realize now that I didn’t back then was that my dad loved his job and the hours probably didn’t seem so long to him. He loved working with kids. He enjoyed teaching and learning from them. The influence he’s had on kids over the 30 years is immeasurable.
Although my career has been challenging and enjoyable so far, it’s only been the last few years that I’ve felt I’m giving anything back to the younger generation. Most of my career has been spent helping pad the coffers of large companies and high powered executives. But my current jobs allows me to interact with a young, fun group of people who have taught me a lot.
As much as I love technology, I’d switch jobs with my dad in a heartbeat.
