Default Re: What was your profession prior to retirement? This is really interesting.

Susan –
I am so envious of what you do – that is what it’s all about……
.............and of all of you who were with the same company for long periods of time.

I have had numerous jobs due to working 5 years before having children, my husband’s transfers, stay at home mom and then divorce. I read somewhere recently that the graduates of today will have an average of 12-15 jobs before retirement.

5 years – Consumer Advertising – Reynolds Metals Co.
2 years – on start up team of Virginia State Lottery
6 years – Exec Asst to VP & General Counsel of CSX Corp.
15 years – Resort Property Manager and Real Estate Sales Agent
Currently looking unsuccessfully for part-time
