Since the mid 70's, mostly electronics engineering, but before that I had
worked inside telephone switching centers in Washington, as a
proofreader, as a construction laborer, and as an electronics test tech.
Once, briefly, in the 1960s, I worked in a repair shop on the grounds of
the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, rewinding electric motors.  My
pay was about $1 per hour. (I was there on summer vacation.)  I did get
to see the big Buddhist statues which were later destroyed.
