40 years ago, the options were still- teacher or secretary. I was told
I was "too smart" to be a secretary, so I became a teacher. We've HAVE
come a long way, haven't we?!?!?
I was a classroom science teacher (as opposed to "moving up" into
administration). I was knee-deep in kids / teenagers all day, for 30
years. It was good, but it was also time for a change. I was able to
retire early and now I am able to pursue any and all whims. On my own
schedule-no bells!
Someone in this group has the signature line "It's never too late to be
the person you could have been" Amen to that!

Heck, fifty years ago I didn't even have a counselor. Women were
supposed to be secretaries or teachers. I did both and was a good
teacher, and secretary when I did that, but never happy in either
field. Luckily, I found other outlets as I grew older.

Hello, again.
I've been lurking for the past couple of months and
wondered if there is anywhere you have bios of list
participants stashed? So many of you seem to be doing
what I want to do I wonder how you got there.
Makes me wish for a time machine so I could go back 30
years and slap the college counselor who told me
costume wasn't a career - I should be a secretary or
social worker.
Any words of wisdom?
