re: Coolest Job(s) You Ever Had....?

Adjunct college professor teaching multimedia courses at HCCS in the early 1990s. Taught a class on video editing, burning CD-ROMs (it was an exotic thing at the time) and my absolute favorite, Macromind Director.

The guy who hired me was a dead ringer for Mandy Patinkin in Homeland and he would tell me to come up with a class I wanted to teach and generate a syllabus and he would add it to the next semester's curriculum.

Coolest boss ever and met some of the coolest adult students ever. Most were in the aerospace industry in Houston looking to keep up with technology and UH and UHCL were still 15 years behind teaching COBOL.

..100% true story.. One semester I had a paroled murderer in my class which they disclosed to me at the beginning of the semester because there was a work release program that fed former convicts into the HCCS system.

Also 100% true story I gave him an A.
