My day job will soon be irrelevent. As I'll be retiring. Then, I hope to start my REAL job. As a Victoria's Secret model.
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

If it's possible I'd like to see this thread turned into an ongoing survey. I've met a lot of CDs and I've formed a theory about the majority of the occupations - not scientific but anecdotal.
I'm an electrical eng by education and technician (not my job title - I just use the term to generalize my focus) by career and pre-disposition. I've met a lot of CD engineers, a handful of airline pilots and quite a few other types of technical folks (IT, software, etc.)
My theory is that there is something about the way our brain is wired that tends to drive many CDs into technical fields.
Of course, I realize that many occupations are represented here so I don't meant o over generalize...still it would be nice to take the occupations listed so far and make a survey so we can see if there is any trend - just out of curiosity...:-)
I've been a software developer for the past 25-ish years now.
Currently I assist the sales department (installs, demos, presentations, trade shows, etc.)
Maybe one day I could be a booth babe
Susan, I was thinking the same thing. This thread needs to be a "sticky".Originally Posted by SusanLaine
When I started it I had just joined the forum and had returned to CDing after many years of dormancy. I was looking for validation that I was NOT what society says we are, namely a filthy pervert, latent child rapist or whatever else they tend to heap on us. The thread has achieved it's purpose for my self-validation, but I hope it lives on so that others who went through the same journey I did can see that they aren't alone, that they are perfectly normal people who have a great gift.
As far as the number crunching goes, I intend to do that soon, just to see what the occupational trend is for us. I think you're right about tech fields being overwhelmingly represented here. The why of it is yet another question; perhaps it has to with the fact that we deal with cold, hard facts, cold, hard bits and pieces and need some warm softness to balance our lives?

Hi BobbiAnne! It looks like we have several "lady" truckers here, a fact I found a bit of a surprise when I started this thread. I'm considering taking up driving as a second career. I've been out of work since last Fall when I took a buyout from my last employer. Since then I've not found work in my chosen industry, auto manufacturing, hence my interest. I drove years ago, so I have some experience. Never drove an 18, but my regular ride was a 10 wheeler with a Detroit 6V71 and a 13 speed Road Ranger. I'd be interested in hearing your experiences as a "lady" trucker as I would like to continue CDing. If you've a mind to please PM me; if not that's OK, too.I too drive a semi truck and I find no problem being dressed while i do it. Its not illegal to dress in womens clothes and other drivers sure do like checking you out!
