Each religion has got their own way of making you feel like a victim. The Christians say 'you are a sinner', and you better just zip up your trousers and give the money to the pope and we'll give you a room up in the hotel in the sky.

I'm a no and a kinda. Kinda cause I wanted to be in a service industry - I could never see myself just "making" something or "selling" something all day. I figured I'd have to do something principally involved in working with people - and that's where I'm at now.

No. Because I never wanted to go into church ministry. It's specifically one of the fields I did not want to do. Go figure that that's what I do now, and that I'm happier for it.

They offered me a job as a liason between the guys who did the 1/2 scale clay models and engineering. I was too proud to take that job, because I wanted to be a stylist.

BTW, there were only six stylists there at the time. They wanted me to refine my skills and take a two year course at their design school if I wanted that job. But I was too tired from 5 years at Drexel. So I dropped the idea. There was a downturn in the economy a few years later and I am not sure if i would have been out of a job there.

I got subsequent jobs working for the Navy and ended up working for NJDOT as a spec writer for highway equipment. I absolutely loved that job. I guess I didn't know what was best for me when I was younger.

That was my dream job!!! I'm still in design, but not designing cars.
