Past Professions

[texaslover]

I'm in elementary education now but I was a HR Manager and Corporate Trainer before that. I had my son and couldn't travel 75% of the time anymore so had to find something with hours more conducive to being with him while still helping support the family financially.

I had lots of part time odd jobs prior to graduating college - babysitting, waitress, tutor, and typist…but I’ve pretty much been in Tech since 1978 (retired now)…first for a textile company, then grocery chain, manufacturing and finally banking.

Oh, and I worked as an IT consultant/tutor for a while! Dunno how I forgot about that!

As a kid, I was a lifeguard and also helped my dad with his plumbing business.

After college, I’ve had a lot of different job titles - IT Auditor, Asst Controller, ERP (Oracle) Consultant and various Supply Chain / Purchasing analyst jobs. Now I’m a Procurement Director for a college, where I’ll likely retire in the next few years. After that, I’m probably going to do some consulting, maybe become a travel agent on the side as well.

ETA: I was also a SAHD for about a year

I'm a retired speech therapist, but before that job, I was in the army (Korean voice interceptor), then a stay at home mom, and then a legal secretary. I also taught English in Japan when I was 17-18, worked in a call center for a cruise company, and had a retail job or two, but they were shorter term jobs that I held for a year or less.

I'm a retired lawyer (I like to say I'm in recovery ). Before that I refereed intramural sports, umpired baseball, worked in a bookstore, bused tables at a steakhouse (hardest job I ever had--my back hurts just thinking about it), worked in an old-style department store (Murphy's Mart), worked as a grocery store carry-out back when such jobs as carry-outs existed, cut grass and raked leaves.
