    In college, I worked at a non-profit that packaged emergency meals for countries suffering from drought, starvation, etc. -- Volunteer groups would come in and I led them through packaging rice, soy, and vitamin mixes that the non-profit would ship overseas, mostly to Africa. I loved that job!

    After that, I lived and worked in Guatemala for awhile at a preschool.

    I came back here and got a job working with preschoolers and driving the school van.

      I have a degree in Anthropology, and specialized in historical archeology. That led to a 15 year career in restaurant management. ::

          I won't mention my last job because if any of my parents were here, they would instantly know who I was because, according to the comptroller,s office, I am the only one in the state with this occupation. However, at one time, I was a certified pork producer, also known as a pig farmer. happyface

                              I ran a retail Hub of 9 drivers and I think 5 trucks that delivered product to our other locations for the past 4 years, prior to that I was an amazing merchandiser for 5 stores at the same company but, they eliminated that position during a buyout. If that was still on the board I wouldn't be here...I freaking loved that job. My days flew by and I saw a lot of people I genuinely liked throughout the company since I traveled to different locations! And as far as retail empoyees we had it made with set mon-fri day schedule, supervisors far away, and ALL major holidays off paid plus mileage for travel.
