We have an assignment in which we have to interview someone who uses Visual Basic in a work setting. Below is a list of interview Questions. If you could answer any/all of them that you can it would be a great help, thank you in advance!!

2. What is your job title?
3. How long have you had your current job?
4. How do you use computing in your job?

6. How do you solve these problems (Visual Basic Script, Visual Basic Apps, Java Script, etc.)?
7. How do you think you can become a better problem solver?
8. What do you like about your job?
9. What are some important things I should be sure to learn in school to help myself be prepared for problems I will encounter in a computing job once I graduate?
10. Who do you solve problems for? (Engineers, customers, manufacturers)

I moved the thread to Chit-Chat since it was not a question specific to a Visual Basic .NET problem.

In terms of your question:
1. Self employed
2. "The guy"
3. I took my first contract job in January of 2015
4. I am a contract programmer, both web development, and software development
5. Mostly data management
6. If I have a choice then with Visual Basic .NET combined with SQL
7. As with anything, practice and practical scenarios
8. I found that I'm a decent programmer and because I found a way to make some nice money off of it as well as show off my skill it gives me great satisfaction
9. Solid principles. If you can build yourself a solid foundation then you can become very flexible
10. Both customers and manufactures
11. Absolutely, not only in programming but also in volunteering/contributing to forums such as VBForums

Miami University Middleton? That had me puzzled. I got a Masters from Miami University, but it was in Oxford. I sure don't remember a Middleton campus back then, but that was a long time back. I got looking around on Google Earth, and realized that much has changed since I was there.
