My occupation and not by choice but by necessity has been a FT Domestic Goddess, wife of 37 yrs., and mother of 2 adult kids and FT student.
During those years I have worked as a store detective picking up shoplifters; store clerk; security officer in a museum; security officer for the county government and county schools; went to college for 1 semester and had to quit due to family issues; served subpoenas; went through police academy and was certified as police officer (could not get hired as they said I was too old at 38, bunk); property manager for a large storage facility; professional pooper scooper turned animal shelter manager, and now after putting off what I alway's wanted to become years ago, I will graduate in Dec. with a certificate in Phlebotomy and Medical Assisting. It is my intention to work in a Hospice setting/with Veterans/ or a physicians clinic. It has been a long road indeed for this late bloomer of 56. Retirement is wayyyyyyyy down the road.
