Although I had been programming on my own for several years, my first tech job was doing technical support for a PC networking product (a really new thing back in the 80's). I had pushed for a couple years to move into software development but the VP in charge of that department wouldn't approve the transfer because my degree was in a social science, not math or engineering. I was able to find a software development job at another company willing to take a chance on me because they needed a junior dev who knew MASM and C really well.
