    Wow!!! Aren't women wonderful?!! We do so much and so many thngs and still manage to take care of a home, husbande and raise children!!
    I have done so many things in my life, it would take a page to list them all. My last full-time employment was an Optometric assistant for two doctors of optometry for 25 years and loved working with Contact lens patients. Most rewarding. Have seen only one other on this thread. Have been retired for 6 years and have taken up sewing almost full-time for our local chsrity group.
    I have enjoyed everything in my life and am so greatful for my home and family! Go girls!!!

    Jill of all trades, master of none... Before my illness, I was a liaison/troubleshooter/event coordinator/handshaker and whatever else. I mainly made sure physicians, social workers and discharge planners at medical entities encountered "smooth sailing" with all departments within our company and that the patients were happy which is the most important thing. Before that, wow, many hats...

    School teacher for 34 years. In 3 1/2 years I will be retiring but probably will teach at a local college after I do.

    By the way I teach Advanced Placement Calculus.

    I was once working on the local high school's musical with the costumer. One of the mom's asked me what I taught. When I told her she was in shock. She thought I would be teaching home ec.

    I always wanted to teach English but had to go to work instead of college. Before my illness, which btw, stopped my normal life as I knew it, I was working full time, and going to college part time--working on my BA in Healthcare Adm. I had to drop out of that because of my brain cancer. I don't know if I will ever get back to that but I have my sewing to carry me. I can't get around very well. My husband is a sweetheart and is my caregiver.
