Engineering is a fascinating field. Sadly, I don’t have the strength in math or physics to go that direction but am glad S does and is enjoying his field. He loves that he plays with wearable tech and drones as part of his job. The law background has been useful in advocating with policy makers, insurers and others.

I guess I had a lot of jobs along the way and enjoyed most of them. Being a special ed hearing officer and traffic court judge were both interesting, as is running a nonprofit. Learned different things from each job, espcilly what I liked and disliked, strengths and weaknesses.

Job I was worst at was clerk typist at age 14. We had multiple carbon papers and different colored papers. When you made an erro, you had to use the matching correction fluid for EACH paper–blue, green, yellow, goldenrod, white, etc. it was torture. I was generally only able to complete ONE set of docs with corrections per day. Of course, I got minimum wage.
