Stef's Parking Solution

Do you know anyone who "chose" parking as their career? The overwhelming answer is no! Have you ever wondered what people did before entering the parking world? We here at T2 Systems set out to discover what people did before coming to the parking world. We have found some interesting, and sometimes disturbing, stories. Here at T2 Systems, we have (among others):
 

• Former - and current - computer nerds
• teachers/convenience store workers
• law enforcement officers that thought parking was sooooo not cool
• cable salespeople who sold in nudist colonies

We received such great feedback from our folks internally, that we decided to "take this on the road" so to speak. We started running a promotion for our upcoming User Group conference targeting our customers and asking what they did before parking. Guess what? Not too many people decided when they were little kiddos to pursue a high profile career in the parking world.

That being said, there is something about parking that sucks you in. Whether it is the parking garages, the handheld ticketwriters, the parking citations or (and this is my personal favorite) the parking management software, for some reason, once you get into parking you don't leave all that quickly. 

I have been in parking for about 2 years now. What can I say about parking? Well it is unlike any industry I have ever worked in. The vast majority of the people in this field are very open to sharing ideas and genuinely interested in helping others succeed.  I will say tho, when I tell people I work for a parking software company, I do tend to get "the look".

Kudos to the parking peeps!
