I went to Central Academy of Dog Grooming while I was in college to be a teacher. I quit at my associates degree and opened my dog grooming salon at my house. I've managed to stay home with my kids and groom. So...I'm a dog groomer. :)

I was a mortgage banker...owned and operated several offices throughout the Midwest including Chicago,Milwaukee,St. Paul, Arlington Heights,Gary Indiana ...etc.....with a little over 300 employees.....Finally said enough because all I did was work. Started downsizing a couple of years ago and finally sold my last 2 offices here in Wisconsin this past July. I want to just enjoy my time with the kids and live a much simplier stress free life from here on out....metal detect ,write ,research ....and have a life. :)

Im a brain surgeon that works for a group who does experimental surgery on people who was born with damage to there frontal lobe. Here is a success story. A few years ago I was assigned a patient who was really in bad shape. A frontal lobotomy and some intense shock therapy treatments and he has done quite well. We all know him as Buckleboy.

I thought of all the areas I always find bright young ladies at so one my main guesses was a teacher, counselor, or a doctor. Guess I was kinda right as you have all them covered under one spot (being a mom)

I have been retired for 15 years and hardly worked when I was employed. Best work and least pay was on a dive boat.
