I am a first-year tax professional (in training, can't say I'm a pro yet). I have been a receptionist, bookkeeper, fast food asst. mgr., usher, 21 dealer, worked at The Home Depot and a "department" store, electrician, teacher, clerk-typist, accounting clerk/supervisor, and typist. My work as a wife and mother has been most rewarding, and heartbreaking as well.

p.s. should have kept working when I moved from northern to central California; I wanted to be the "ideal" wife and mom. Miserable failure at times. Ready to take a chance again!
At the moment I'm still a truck driver, although I'm unemployed, but I'm apt to lose my CDL under the new Federal Department of Transportation health and fitness standards they are nationally implementing. I have emphysema, COPD, and a heart blockage that was diagnosed after an incident while working this past summer. So, I guess it's inevitable, and actually a good thing. I say this, as you can''t have people out there driving those big trucks with health problems that pose a potential risk to the safety of the public.

PS. Thanks for the words of encouragement down below on my answer. At the moment I'm still in the planning mode of re-inventing myself around not having as much wind as I use to.
Retired and bored.

I ran a daycare preschool. After that I wrote a column about it. After that I wrote a book about it. I painted stuff and sold it in a couple of stores. I tell you I had the lowest paying jobs of anybody ever.
Also worked in a doctor’s office.
I hurt my neck and retired. I like it the best. I’m just getting back to painting. (frames for mirrors)
