Jeez, I wouldn't even know where to begin. Can I say "Professionally untrained and not career-oriented?"

Good one, billyshake! Can I just say "Retired 3 times, but who's counting?" Ex-secretary, ex-yogi, ex-dancer, would-be writer, and professional dreamer.

That would definitely be at the top of my list.

I've done everything from script coordinating and writing television shows in Hollywood, to farm work, to orphanage work. I can't seem to settle into anything. But writing will always be my first love and the thing that gets me through. I no longer worry about success as a writer, I just write. Nice, though, when you're paid for it.

Sorry Brownboy, but the link I attached is non commercial. It's about a non profit organisation, working with volunteers, providing financial support for poor children in India.

Hi Spike

From the rules:

"No solicitation (Permanent ban): Solicitation for commercial or charity-based organizations of any kind, without the written consent of IndiaMike.com, is strictly forbidden. Any solicitation activity through user controlled content including, but not limited to user names, signatures, member profiles, and posts is strictly forbidden."

There are good reasons why this is in the rules, but feel free to click the "contact us" link below if you want to discuss or need any more information as to why we took this step (and indeed - the "contact us" link is there for just that purpose). Anyway since this is a thread about professions and not moderation - back to topic - any further posts re moderation will be removed.

In 1966 I finished Electronics school in the US Navy. In 1975 I became an electronics instructor. I have taught electronics and electro-mechanical devices since. For the last 20 years I have taught for the US Postal Service.

I retire November 28th, 2008, so that is/WAS my profession!
