Steve Blank

JULY 15, 2010

Nuke’em ‘Till They Glow – Quitting My First Job

Steve Blank

JULY 12, 2010

I started working when I was 14 (I lied about my age) and counting four years in the Air Force I’ve worked in 12 jobs. I left each one of them when I was bored, ready to move on, got fired, or learned as much as I can. There was only one job that I quit when I feared for my life. Life Is Good. The Vietnam War had just ended and I was out of the Air Force back in college living in Ann Arbor Michigan.
