Taught school for 32 years, first elementary school. Then I taught art to seniors on the HS level. Finally taught homebound students in their homes (kids recovering from serious illnesses). I also specialized in helping prepare HS student's portfolios for admission to art schools.
Now retired, and LOVING every moment.

I am retired, for 28 years I worked in the banking industry retiring (actually burn-out) as a Loan Officer. Then I got bored and worked 8 years for our local school district, retiring as a Accounts Payable clerk. :lol:

This has been fascinating. You sure can't put us in one group, save for our love of quilting, who knew! Never underestimate the American woman! Think what all those countries that hold their womenfolk back could have achieved! I've been totally blown away with all the many varied jobs, good thread!

18 years in HR and then switched to accounting. I work for a government contractor running a $3 mill + travel program and project cost admin.
Probably going to be out of work next year and looking for a part time job to keep me busy (and fund my quilting addiction).
