While I was working in the military I already was a computer programmer. I was only programming for myself and the only one knowing that I was good at it was my superior officer and a couple of other commerades. My superior always wanted a program that made a huge admin task easier for him but the military division that would do all the programming did not come up with a good solution. So he basically made me program that little tool during my duty and I finsished a really great admin tool. It was so good that many officers wanted the prog and I charged 20 bucks for it. After selling a dozen the programming division were getting pissed and soon a order was issued that disallowed the use of all programs but the ones approved or programmed by them and my little enterprise was crushed ;)
Well I had a great year while others were robbing thru mud and I was sitting in front of a comp. I got great experience and finally I got a job working in the US that my superior was able to push into my direction. That finally led to making good money in the adult industry.
This shows even if you think you have wasted your time something good might come from it in the end.
