I love to draw and went into architecture. Well, I worked at a firm for 18 years and don't want to do that again. At the time graphic arts was a hard field to get into and finding a job was hard.Michele L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15827059770508809460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-45330596602106154792008-10-24T05:51:00.000-07:002008-10-24T05:51:00.000-07:00Marilyn, I will listen to your mom's words more ca...Marilyn, I will listen to your mom's words more carefully if the future!Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13363922982973526678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-4488329249233173442008-10-23T12:30:00.000-07:002008-10-23T12:30:00.000-07:00Thanks Linda and Dina congrats to you as well.It w...Thanks Linda and Dina congrats to you as well.<BR/><BR/>It was wonderful reading everyone's comments.

I learn something new every day.<BR/>Writing is my second career. I was a stock broker first (for twelve years) and really wasn't happy.
