As a teen = Shopping cart boy, cashier, stock-boy. Then during college years = publishing co in shipping dept, bank teller, law clerk at a law firm during the 1980's real estate boom which then led to law school and a becoming a lawyer for 25 years now handling both sides of personal injury cases (plaintiff and defense). Almost ended up in the fur manufacturing business during college but was very glad that did not happen.

I was in the fur business in college myself, but it was more of a hobby than a job...<<smile>>...

I last worked for local hospital as a service aide for over 10 years but was forced to retire due to cancer and before that I worked in security for 15 yrs. Looking back seems those years went by fast.

At various times over the last 40 years I've been: a trapper, a carpenter, a musician, an architect, a woodworker, a writer, a teacher, a motorcycle racer, a ski instructor, a beach bum...

Some day I'll figure out what I want to be when I grow up. In the meantime, I'm building really nice kitchens and bathrooms.

I was thinking of going into the management and marketing end of my dad's fur business but he told me I would have to sit behind the machines, sewing the skins together for 12 hour days. I tried it working for a week during one summer and I got blisters on my a$$ and fur up my nose and then with some coaxing from my dad I quit. That's when I ended up going to law school. Lol
