I am a mortgage loan processor. I'm fortunate enough to still have my job in this incredibly unstable time in the mortgage industry. However, my boss may be retiring in a couple of years so I'll be looking for a new career then. I live in NW Indiana and if anyone knows anyone who's going to be hiring for a really cool job in a couple of years, tell them to add me to their contact list...I'll be ready for a career change at that point! The mortgage industry can really wear you out!

My husband is an Operator for Merrillville Public Works. It's not as glorified of a position as what most of you have posted on this thread, but it's a government job and our insurance is cheap and he's off every holiday known to man.

My husband is also in the process of starting his own business. He's going to be selling discount cards. It's similar to the Entertainment or Golden Opportunities books, but you only have to carry this card with you and not a whole book full of coupons. He's leaning towards promoting it as a fundraising tool for churches and schools and other organizations. So wish us luck!!

Congratulations on your shift in careers. I'm always impressed by the heroes who choose to give back to the community. And you're on your way to doing it for a second time. You are to be commended twice over!

Oh my gosh--- thank you so much! That is so incredibly nice of you! I loved teaching, but the hours didn't work for my family, so nursing was always my second choice (and the flexibility of hours is appealing). Thank you so much for your kind words!

I'm retired after spending 30 years as a state employee for the State of North Carolina. I was an Information Technology manager. DW is retired after spending 27 years as a Teacher Assistant. I know a lot of people retire and then take on second careers, but so far I've had absolutely no interest what so ever. We stay active in our Church and try to take a week long trip at least once every three months. Our daughter teaches fourth grade and we help her out occasionally at her school (I've become quite good at doing bulletin boards ). We have three WDW trips lined up over the next 6 months followed by a return to Hilton Head next June. Live is good .

I'm a technical writer/course developer for an engineering software company. My company was recently purchased by a major WDW sponsor, so I'm hoping there's a VIP lounge in my future. Not for next trip, though. No business cards yet, and currently, no VIP lounge to flash them at, anyway.

Let's hear it for the Calumet Region!

HEY NEIGHBOR!!! I've only seen one other DISer on here from the area, (Crown Point to be exact) and they are mostly on the DCL forums. Everyone else I've come across on the DIS boards is from either further East of Fort Wayne or south of Indy. It seems like I have a hard time finding DISers in "The Region"!

Ok, sorry to go just posting a quick reply!!
