Actually pretty well; pretty high level manager in the corporate world in my early Twenties, successful stint in a retail business until the Arab Oil Embargo killed tourism, good stint doing additions and remodels here in ANC in the Oil Boom years.   In the one premeditatedly intelligent thing I've ever done, I sold an expensive house, and expensive car, and an expensive business in ANC in the fall of '83; it never could have been worth more and a year or two later was worth nothing, but it wasn't mine anymore.    Moved to Juneau and was in private business there fairly successfully until the oil price crash crippled the private economy, so I went to government because they get the money first.   Government is interesting; the banker that won't talk to you when you make more some days than you make working for government in a month really, really wants to "help you out," if you have a mid to high level government job.
