Thank you sincerely for the offer of possible help.
Carnegie Mellon M.S.I.A., 1989. Equiv GPA of 3.5 (they have this weird 9 pt scale, of which I was a 6.5 - A-/B+)
I actually left Andersen Business Consulting after 3 years back in 1998 for a small software company with an interesting product, but which unfortunately got in the wrong markets - steel, telecom, etc...
Great breadth of experience in everything from C++/SQL interfaces to general project management, but I have learned my lesson about signing on with a family-run company. You can probably guess what happened - the onwer's a**hole son, son-in-law, niece, etc... are still there, but after this year's crunch on IT spending, all I had was a ton of client management, systems implementation, and hardcore database skills with no one to apply them on. So I got canned along with other non-family members that couldn't use the EEOC in a lawsuit.
At this point, I'm open to any interest, I'll even start the road warrior bit again if that's what it takes. Did it before, will do it again. No bunch of wacko terrorists are going to intimidate me from jumping on an airplane to feed and house my family!

God Bless America, and all those who offer help in times of need.
