My first job was babysitting the neighbor's kids for 25 cents an hour. My second job was picking strawberries for a local farmer. One fall, I picked potatoes (they were dug up and sitting on top of the soil). I've had lots of jobs since then, from being a a "go-fer" for my first husband's sporting goods/toy store, a realtor, a secretary/receptionist for three different construction companies, to picking and selling fruit, making pies, jams and jellies to sell on my parents' farm, to working in a fabric store, and my last and best job, was as a pharmacy technician. I am retired now, on disability from having lupus, fibromyalgia and problems from injuries sustained in a car accident 11 years ago. Now my job is taking care of myself and my husband, who has chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
