Here are mine:
Student (It took me 7 years (full time!) to get my Bachelor's degree, then
another three for my Master's and Ph.D.)
Pharmacist
Health Sciences Researcher at a Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Institute at
the University of Mississippi
Marijuana Grower (at the Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Institute we grew the
only LEGAL marijuana in the nation--for research purposes, of course)
Lingerie Czar (my ex-wife and I owned an upscale lingerie shop in Oxford,
Mississippi)
Community Volunteer (it FELT like a career sometimes: started a Habitat for
Humanity Affiliate, started a Tourism Council, active in Rotary, three trips to
Honduras on a medical mission, others)
PHS English Teacher (yes, I join the many, but mine was only for one
day--probably the toughest workday of my life, by the way--when I returned for
our 25th Reunion)
City Alderman (for six years, again in Oxford, Mississippi)
Technology Licensing Director (in Mississippi, and now in Missouri)
Who knows what will be next? But I do know it will be fun!
