On: My dad’s resume and skills from 1980

[barking]

Q: What's the difference between a house and a home?

A: A home is where they put you when they want the house.

That resume is from shortly after he turned 54.

It must have been hard looking for a job at that age and I don't think the economy was brilliant in 1980 either.

That was when Reagan got elected after Carter had only one term.

It was not, and stayed not the next 5+ years

There was a recession, actually

In the bay area officially the recession was well over in 1983, but frankly it sucked till 1986-7. Commercial tech sucked worse than military.
