I married “my little wooden goldmine” to quote Stromboli... I found a woman who could play pinball as nearly as well as I could, and even better than me some times, at least she would say so, and promptly married her. We have been fortunate enough to be DINKs, or unfortunate some might argue, but damn are kids expensive, more than pinball! We also were able to take some career risks based on us each making good enough money to allow each other the option of trying something new, or risky, or just smart (like finishing a degree)... and this has let us leap frog our way up the food chain.

I am a software engineer working for a national bank currently, and my wife is an executive in the health care industry where she works.

They say on average you will hold 5 different jobs in your life... I am a little above average because I have been all of the following:
Paper boy (twice)
Janitor
Census Bureau worker
Electronic technician (three times)
Nuclear Reactor Operator (US Navy ET-RO)
Sailor onboard Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine
Software developer (3 times)
Qualification Lab Photometric Test technician
