A Brief Pause From The Ordinary..., Demographics time--please just humor me Options

I just joined this community last night, and I'm just curious about some of the people here. I'm only 19 years old, but I'm more interested in all things space than anyone I've ever met. Just out of curiosity, what are people's ages in this forum?

Hey all....I'm 34 and I worked as a tech support rep (over the phone) for 7 years before moving into a quasi-supervisory position (listening in on other techs and coaching them) and am now in training for a pre-sales position answering questions about networking equipment. I got hooked on the space program by the Voyager flyby of Uranus and the Challenger disaster when I was in high school. I'd hoped to become an astronaut and/or get into a career in space science, but I had too hard a time with calculus

I live in Utah, but I've lived in some other places over the years as well. I've even been lucky enough to see a space shuttle launch in Florida (at night, no less, two miles from the launch pad) and I've seen the shuttle Enterprise in the Udvar-Hazy center. (Too bad the space hangar wasn't fully opened yet! I plan on going back to D.C. sometime and seeing that again, as well as lots of other spacecraft, planes, and things). And who knows, my dream of going into space may yet come true.

This board is awesome, and I enjoy keeping up on the Mars rovers, Cassini, and other space projects. I also enjoy building models of aircraft and spacecraft, and I built a paper model of the MER, which enjoyed a prominent place at my cubicle before I got transferred and sent to training for my current position.
