Default Re: What was your previous job?

I've done so many things. Got a degree in theater arts and worked with a theater troupe in Philly for a few years. I supplemented that income by working in an adult store as one of the girls in a glass booth that men could talk dirty to for $1 a minute.
Marriage put an end to both acting jobs and I headed out into corporate America. I worked for a few years in corporate sales of audio visual and presentation products.

The first time I moved to FL, I managed my parents small chain of women's clothing and accessory stores until daddy decided I should have something for myself and gave me money to start my own business.

I opened an ice cream parlor, which did so well that daddy thought I should expand, so we took the empty store next to us, knocked down the walls and put in a bakery. When I mentioned to my father, that even though I was a good baker, I was not a professional at it, so he sent me to school.
I loved my little business until the hours and constant standing on my feet, gave me a blood clot in the leg, so we hate to close up shop.

And then a few years ago I appeased my mid-life crisis by going back to school. I got my degree in Pharmacy technology and worked at the University of Louisville hospital making up the I.V. drugs and part tome teaching pharmacology, dosages and calculations and anatomy and physiology at the local career college.

One of these days I'm going to decide what I want to be when I grow up.
