I have made a couple of career changes in my life. First, I worked in sales and was pretty good at what I did. I could work straight commission and still make a good paycheck. Then I went to work as a Circuit Board Repair Tech. I did that for a number of years, and really liked it. However, technology was evolving, and pretty soon, many of our jobs would be taking over by robotic arms. So, then I went into nursing. I really loved nursing, though it finished ruining my back. You have to lift, pull, shove, move a lot of weight, constantly. You're supposed to do so with another nurse or tech, but if we did that, no one would ever get moved or shifted. So, then I took my hospital work to home nursing which wasn't as demanding. I did that for a while, before I had to help take care of my sister, and then my husband. I enjoyed nursing I think the most out of all of my working years. I love helping others. And when you can truly make a difference it's amazing!
