Summary
Working as a server at The Dairy Queen in Truman was my job at age 15, then next as a cashier at The Five and Dime store in Truman. After Graduation, college came next. My grandmother had encouraged teaching even when I was younger. Several summers a friend and I taught a Actors Camp that was successful.. Working with children and adults is quite enjoyable. After being retired for several years it is easy to get bored. Working for a call center or as customer service sounds great. It will be much more profitable for me than just sitting around watching TV.
