I see lots of folks in the medical field. I think that's the only line of work I was never in. My jobs from age 12 were babysitter, waitress, licensed beautition, pharmacy tech, worked as a government quality control supervisor in a plant that made rotary discs for mortor shells... I xDH was in the service as were my brothers, relatives and friends and all of them were sent to Viet Nam so every rotary disc I inspected HAD TO BE PERFECT OR I SENT IT BACK! I worried maybe one got by the inspectors that wasn't perfect....that made me dislike the job because it was hard knowing each of these things we were making was going to VN and was a potential killer. Awful, awful job.

After some college I became a social worker and worked at this profession for 30 years in 3 states. Last 10 years i worked as a state agency social service manager . I loved that job but I'm doing the job I love most and that's being retired and hanging out in my sewing room quilting and fondling my fabrics.
