But I became a high school teacher, then missionary, then high school teacher again, then adminstrator in two different countries, then university lecturer,then homeschooler, and now high school teacher (AGAIN). After about 5 years of dilly-dallying I finally heeded the still small voice and enrolled myself in law school (online) - at the ripe old age of 50! And I am loving it, it's my new 'hobby'. :)I don't particularly want to be a lawyer fighting cases in court (no thanks). I think I'll just enjoy the journey without worrying too much about where it's going, he he he.Vilisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168911924358193544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643654861670171975.post-62753944723749324592011-03-20T12:35:58.024-04:002011-03-20T12:35:58.024-04:00Mary---your comments are always full of meaning. ...Mary---your comments are always full of meaning.

I loved numbers and I loved math and knew that would be my first career would be in a math related field. With the help of my husband I was able to work while raising my family and we were both able to retire at a very early age. We travel, we write and do an occasional consulting job to keep the coffers full. Rather than setting out to find ourselves we stumbled into it. It worked for us and while we have metamorphized several times along the way we are happy people. It is important to always have a goal and understand that sometimes moments must be endured so that hours can be enjoyed. Life is a race. Those fast out of the gate get to pick the track they race on. Hey, I hope you have a great day.

But, I ended studying Chemical Engineering in college, got my degree and had to work at the engineering company that sponsored my college education. And remain in the same industry and nature of work till today.<br /><br />I am open for my children to choose what they want to do and what directions they should take, my advise to them is they should take the opportunity of their young age to learn knowledge that is relevant and should benefit them and that in my opinion is engineering.<br /><br />And I also told them that if they don't want to limit their eligibility in marriage, they should go get their degree, and then they can go do what they wish to do;)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02399300464457820101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643654861670171975.post-32514159780932171592011-03-19T20:45:19.150-04:002011-03-19T20:45:19.150-04:00Kelli---You are such an unforgettable person.
