Don't believe you. With an IQ of 50 you should have trouble opening a door on your own ;-)
I've done a bit of this and a bit of that too. Worked in a stable, training trotters first, then at a factory, then window cleaner, even did a bit of dark room work in my past (I sucked at it). Also been self employed in the lock/alarm/security business, and a lot of other stuff. Among them, unemployed, taking care of my father after my mother passed away, took care of my kids for a period. At the age of 35 I found my shelf in life as a social worker, and have been there ever since. And for the first time in my life, I (like to think I) know what I'm doing. Except not being able to describe it in English (ironic, isn't it?).

Some day we shall have to talk <grin>. Strangely I have not used a soldering iron on a job since I worked in a TV shop back in 63-64. While I usually refer to my primary occupation as an EMT (electro-mechanical technician), every employer I've worked for has had a different name for what I did. But basically I build, assembled, tested, debugged, etc. electrical and/or mechanical gadgets. Ran the gamut from watch repair to building industrial robots, with asides into working as an electrician and running a 4x4 shop. Sometimes I worked alone, sometimes on big teams. Work was usually very project oriented, when the project was done I was out looking for work. so, I had sub-occupations that I usually did in the interim. Usually I drove a truck, did some kind of sales, or tried to open a photography business. The problem was when another project came along I would be hungry enough to abandon the attempt. Looking at all the I am a "whatever" here I wonder what my life would be like today if I had had that kind of stability. I do know that a loss of concentration, coordination, energy, emotional stability, and about 50 points in IQ, leaves me on social-security (The neurologists all agree that something is wrong, but don't have a clue otherwise <SIGH!>). Ah, well, I am 62 now, so I can call myself retired. I'm retired. Adam Maas wrote: > > I'm an Electronics Engineering Technician by trade.
