Doctorate in Psychology, MS in Special Education, and BS in Psychology.......
I know this may sound hokey to some, but my most valued degree was an MRS to my hubby...I sure wish he were here to enjoy TV with me.

I graduated many years ago from the University of New Mexico with a BS in pharmacy.
I was the only female in my class --- now the women outnumber the men. I was a soda
clerk/druggist in Western Kansas (again the only female) for a few years before transitioning to hospital pharmacy and Colorado. After 33 years as director of pharmacy in a small hospital, I retired.......and am enjoying my latest career (retirement) immensely.

BS, Economics, minor History, ROTC Officer, and eventually spent 35 years as an Sales Executive in the printing industry. Great life and career that presented me with a view of some of the country's biggest entrepreneurs.

BA in pre-18th century French literature with a minor in sociology. After graduation, I was an editor for a French language publishing company in NYC but then turned to social work. Worked in various capacities in social work administration for the next 35 years. Retired to TV 2 years ago and have been catching up on my reading, golfing and other fun activities ever since!

Default jobs for Julie

Julie:
My first thought was the Agricultural Extension service.
The University of Central Florida, the University of Florida at Gainsville and Stetson University are all within a doable commute. Check out the Department of Natural Resourses, the Florida Dept of Environmental Services, The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission , the USFish and Wildlife Commission and the Florida Department of Recreation and Parks but again, I think the Florida Environmental and Extension Service would be the best bet. There are Community Colleges in each County in Florida as well. Google each of these and you'll see the possibilities.
