I too started out babysitting and then a candy striper at a children's hospital until I decided I needed money. Then I worked in a restaurant in the freezer making all the salads that go on a salad bar. Got Bronchitis and had to quit.Did some modeling for JCPenney, Sears and Famous-Barr newspaper ads. Then I became a CNA and worked in 4 differnt nursing homes over 7 years and then 2 years in in-home care. Then I went into security at a shopping mall from there to working in a prison as a guard for 4 years then I worked for Boeing as an armed guard at the missle plant for 18 years until last April when they decided to get rid of all company guards and went to part time contract guards. Now I'm more or less retired and have just started my first garden with 10 raised beds. We will be getting chickens soon and then next year we will be adding Nigerian Dwarf goats. This retirement stuff is turning into a real job!
