Wow....no creative smart-*** made-up jobs yet!!

I've been in mass transit for 36 years....school buses for 26 and now 10 years in city transit. I'm an Assistant Station Manager at one of three bus garages for the Portland transit agency.....TriMet.

I manage 240 of 1200 bus operators.

Transit has been very good to me.

I worked at Walmart for 13 years as a department manager for the Photo Center until 2009. I then decided to go back to college at 39 and get a degree in Photography. I just graduated September 7th, and am working on building my own photography business.

Unemployed / Student

That is, I'm a licensed nursing home administrator with a solid track record over ten years. Then I got married, wife was pronounced to have brain cancer, she survived, we opened her DREAM equestrian center and made it a successful business. Then I found out she had cheated and legally made the money disappear. Now I've divorced her and am starting over. Hence: student. Doing this one for myself at age 34... taking pre-req science courses with the intent of getting into dental school. Fallback is physician assistant 2-year program.

I want a job I can enjoy, respect, have some stability (not a new owner every 15 months) and ... well... what's not to like about using a dremel on people's mouths when they can't talk back?
