In the immortal words of Paul Vixie (vixie () vix com):

The trouble is, often times I'd rather hire the world's smartest garbage
man.  I never forget that when I got done interviewing for my first full
time programming job I went back to my job fixing cars and pumping gas, and
my fallback plan in case programming didn't work out was driving a tow 
truck (which paid better than either.)  

*blink*

You are the second person to tell me this story, almost word-for-word
verbatim, including the detail about the tow trucks.

The first person was Eugene Kashpureff.  (Indeed, Alternic, Inc. was
actually a d/b/a identify of his towing company.)

It's a small, and very strange world.
