Answer 1

This list gives every indication that I have no idea what I am going to be when I grow up !
Serving and food industry ... HS, college
Janitor: College years
Cancer Research ..... after college (far too many years wasted)
Night Club Owner....sex, drugs, and rock and roll
Gymnasium Owner.... (not vastly different than owning a night club)
Construction Company Owner....High end renovations (a story in itself)
Event Production .... the same as owning a night club, but you are not open every night.
Costume design and production: My own company, did the ballroom thing for many years...always something new and fun...until I grew tired of the client's thoughts that a ball gown would make them look 20 again ! Try that one on for size !
Owner, On-line sales of successful business selling to the clothing embellishment trade and individual. (this one has been the most fun, always someone new to talk to, always someone wanting to know....... Talk to people all over the world daily.
Haven't a clue as to what I will do next, but there always seems to be a next associated with my life.

Answer 6

Age 48 thru 61. Clean room construction clean up--20' in the air on a cherry picker. Built fence days, bartended nights, winter in a butcher shop wrapping meat. Nanny for little kids, house cleaning, income taxes, plant nursery, data conversion for post office, caregiver for Hospice patients, and here's a hoot. I worked on weekends and 2 nights a week putting rubber horns on little calves for ropers to rope and then I was at the other end of the arena with a shepherds hook to move the ropes off the calves. The calves were not hurt most of the guys got a rope close or just barely on them. It didn't take long for them to get smart and suddenly stop and let the guy and his horse whiz on by--used to make me chuckle. I went to Alaska and was a nanny there. Came back and moved to NC. Survival!!

The time goes by quicker and I don't have time to indulge in stressful thoughts. I would like to find a typing job though, something office related. It will still keep my hands busy.
