Curious
What did you do in your working life before you moved to this Adult Disneyland. Which I love by the way. I'll start, I was a Commercial and Residential Painting Contractor serving the Midwest. I also bought and sold commercial and residential Real Estate. My Company was founded in 1966 and is still going strong. I retired 11 yrs ago, and Chris took over. Now it's your turn. Len

Your question assumes one stopped doing what they did before moving here. I brought my job with me and have no immediate plans to retire, unfortunately. I work in IT in the healthcare industry.

I started off in Retailing and was a buyer for Bloomingdales then manged some boutiques. Back to school and got a degree in Computer Science. Traveled the country installing IMS software. Took a buyout and bought Camp Gone to the Dogs in VT. Ran the business for 10 years and sold it. Happily retired!

Verbally retired but still actively looking at possibilities here in TV---to the chagrin and head shaking nope of my wife

I was the Assistant to the Superintendent of Schools in the second largest school district in Kentucky. I retired in my late 40’s. I did not like retirement and reentered the workforce as Assistant to the Provost in a Kentucky college. This time around, I am loving retirement!
I have been blessed! |
