14. When I graduated from University

I went to work for a division of York International that had JUST been sold to them - by Kodak. As a result of that purchase the division's pension plan was kept in place. Two years with profit sharing and I left with almost 3K in my pension plan (good years for that line of business - thanks El NINO!). I still have that money (grown) today in an IRA.

Pensions were king.
