I was a medical transcriber for five years, mainframe programmer for twenty-five, owned several coffee shops in commuter train stations (not a part of the state program) and have worked as an independent living coordinator at a local Center for Independent Living for eight years next Friday. When the CIL job goes away, as I expect it to in the next several months I will try to find something new. I'm old enough but not ready for 24x7 retirement.
