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!
