For the first 20 plus years I worked in a factory as a large stamping press operator. The plant closed down and I went back to school for 3 years graduated with honors 30 years after graduating high school. I am now a Respiratory Therapist and really prefer working in rural hospital's over the ones in the larger cities. They treat you better, the pay is better and you have much more time to take care of your patients needs.

That being said.........I am currently exploring the idea of doing home care. I seem to do the best with the older "cranky" patients than most can. An older person doesn't like people half their age coming in and telling them what they "have" to do. Well, come to think of it.......neither do I.

So..........I guess I am living proof that you can teach an old dog, new tricks.

In less than a year I will finally be a veterinarian!! I've been a student for my entire life and am so ready to get out into the real world. But in college I was a veterinary technician, worked in a research lab with avian influenza (got published!), and was a computer systems tech during vet school along with various petsitting jobs on the side. During the summers of vet school I taught summer camps for high schoolers wanting to be future vets. So plenty of little jobs but ready to finally have a grown up job.
