I took any work I could handle, so after HS I ran a blue print machine, after marriage, there were 5 kids, and farm work. I had to learn how to drive a big tractor so I could bail hay, chop straw & corn, pick ripe corn & tend to animals. After all 5 kids were in school, I did house cleaning in town, not my thing, so I worked in a flower shop, as a replanter of seedlings part of the time (seasonal) I loved it, but I needed a better job with benifits. First I worked PT in two cheese plants and then took a job in retail.I really liked all my jobs, but retired when our benifits were all taken away. Now I have the best job, I take care of grand kids, I have a barn full of nonprofit pets-Goat- horses-rabbits- chickens etc. I have a large garden and can veggies for the married kids.P.S. we have 4 great-grand kids. I was very lucky, Didn`t need much sleep! How many jobs that does that make?

I'm a retired special education teacher. I taught at all levels, elementary, middle school and high school. The majority of students I worked with had learning and behavior disorders, some had very severe behavior problems. One former student is in jail,for life, no parole for murder. Two former students have been murdered. Interestingly, they were all students of mine in the same 8th grade class.
