    I am retired now. I worked 31 years as a dental hygienist, and 4 years as a dental assistant before that.

    I worked several years for an ATL based quick serve restaurant home office where I started as a secretary but worked up to Project Manager in the Construction dept...the 1st female ever to hold that position and probably my all time love !

    My other background is a paralegal for a large Atl law firm that specializes in real estate transactions.

    IF I COULD go back and change things, I would have become a librarian !

    Retired now but would like a part time job for the extra money to pay for my quilt addiction !

    Worked for attorneys, then transferred to district court and worked for 15 years as an executive legal secretary for 5 judges. Retired now, but type court transcripts from my home. Too much work and not enough time to sew. However, with the economy like it is, I'm thankful for my job, especially since I can work at home.

    I've been a market research interviewer and corporate trainer.
    I've been an elementary teacher and a college instructor. I've been a computer programmer and a business analyst.
    Most recently, I retired as a Presbyterian pastor - the best career of the bunch!
