I am RETIRED!! Yeah! Actually, I was an Electronic Technician working at a Navy base testing weapons for about 25 years. I was in charge of Range Timing which had to do with GPS and the Atomic Clock. I also did Flight Termination which is a nice way of saying I blew up wayward missiles so they could not threaten the public. I retired last summer. Now I spend my days doing my OTHER job which is a teddy bear artist. I make jointed bears (and yorkies) OUT OF MOHAIR, GLASS EYES, ETC. i HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS. i SELL THEM ON MY WEBSITE (SUNNIEBEARS.COM) and at teddy bear shows all over. I have won International awards (Teddy bear of the year in 2004) with my bears and I LOVE making them. My yorkies give me lots of inspiration.

I am now a stay at home mom and wife to three kids (13, 11,and 5) and two dogs. But I am now medically disabled. But for 12 Years I was a Corrections Officer for the state of Pennsylvania and retired with rank of Sargent. I always thought I would work the rest of my life and was devestated when I couldn't work anymore. But I have had so many blessings being home and I really do enjoy it and I would have missed so much with my kids and probably not even realized it!!

I was an Accountant for a Bank until I had my Daughter 8 yrs ago. I have been staying at home since then. I know Babysit fulltime in my home for School teachers children. I enjoy it and the money is great.
If I could do it all over again I would either be a School Teacher or a Police Officer!

spr377 · 10-21-2007, 03:33 AM

I own and operate a small Hair Salon for the last 23 years. I am currently back in school, working towards a degree in Human Resources.

I am an LPN who is starting a new job on Tuesday with a home health company that I used to work for about 3 years ago. And am enrolled in the LPN to RN program and start back to school in January. I love being a nurse and the only thing I would change if I could would be that I would have went straight for my RN 19 years ago when I started school. Home Health is my passion and my calling I believe.

Gingergirlsmom · 10-21-2007, 04:02 AM

For twelve years I owned my own business. Sold it in October 2005 and went back to school. Guess you could say that I AM doing it all over agina.

Now I'm an elementary school teacher and I love it! I'm finally where I belong.

The only drawback is not being able to take my furkids to work anymore

gidgetsmom · 10-21-2007, 10:53 AM

I am a sales manager for Insurance.com

flgurl69 · 10-21-2007, 12:27 PM

Since moving to Florida 4 years ago I have worked in a large cardiology practice doing medical transcription. Prior to that I lived in Virginia working as a medical transcriptionist for a large oncology group for 11 years.

If I could do it all over again, I would have went to college and done something in the medical field.....probably business side though.

BrendaS54 · 10-21-2007, 04:54 PM

I am a Tax Accountant.. My husband and I own our own Business. He has been an Tax Accountant for 42 years.. I have been one for 15. I was a Nurse before I moved here to Michigan. I also am a Country Singer. I sing for fun now. I did sing back up for Loretta Lynn for 2 years.. Years ago. I sing at fairs now every summer. Just to keep my voice up.
If I had to do it again.. I wouldn't have married my X husband and I would have continued with my singing carreer. He wouldn't let me do it For a long time. He was a Very very jealous and abusive husband. So now I have remarried and never regretted it.

veguroev · 10-21-2007, 05:18 PM

I work for a big bank as a personal banker. I like my job a lot, but sometimes I want to leave my good pay job and work at a vets office or volunteer at an animal shelter full time. I want to do something that makes me feel that I'm making a difference for the animals in this world.
