Even though I had my university degree, numerous certifications and had been a system admin for five years, I learned tons more about the "biz" and ideal business processes (esp. when it comes to covering your butt) in the six months I was working 15 hours a week at the local computer shop doing a mix of sales and service for the fun of it on nights and weekends (and certainly not for the $11/hr they were paying me :P ) Nice, when I first saw the title of the post I figured you’d checked the dumpster in back of the shop to get information off any shipping stickers on their boxes.
