Re: Real World: Franklin High c/o 1996

Ouch...only handful of the people that still lives in Franklin huh? Good to see you guys all doing well. As for me....joined the Marines (reserve) after high school. Came back and got my degrees in Computer Science and Economics. Worked for Lucent for couple of years but I couldn't take the corporate world anymore so I took the package they were offering (full year salary for valunteer quitting) and opened up my own car business. Was in Jersey but I had to move the business to PA because of the cost of living or having a business is way too much there. Still single but with a great girlfriend for 7 years. No kids but I do have a little 4 y/o pug if that count as a kid :) Still live in Franklin too :)

Re: Real World: Franklin High c/o 1996

I know most of you probably miss the Franklin years. For me, I couldn't wait to move on. I graduated from Pace U with a BBA in Business Mgt. My first real job was working as a Desktop Support Tech for JP Morgan in midtown. 9/11 happened and the company decided to move the dept out to LI. I didn't want to move with them so I found another job working at another financial firm. Since then, I moved up a couple of positions and I am currently a Business Analyst. Great gig and loving the benefits.

As for other developments. I recently got married to my wonderful wife. It was a beautiful wedding out in CT. Jeff can testify...he was one of my groomsmen. No kids yet; not for a couple more years. We currently live in Westchester NY.

Regarding the Reunion. I haven't decided yet on going. Maybe hearing from those of you who knew me may change my mind.

High School????? I want to go back to kindergarten! LOL!!

I can't complain...college was fun, true reality hit me once I entered the corporate world. My job search lasted 13 months after graduation , because of 9/11, but I eventuallty got a really great job in Supply Chain/Logistics. The company I worked for was bought, and all jobs moved to GA, so I was forced to look for another job late last year. I'm doing well, and I enjoy what I do. But all in all, I feel I got more knowledge in the workplace and when things are hands-on, rather than classroom theory.

As far as other realities...rent...car payments...wedding to pay for...working on an MBA while working full-time...yeah, Kindergarten sounds about right!!
