What Do You Do For a Living?

World's oldest college freshman (age 42) I was working for in the airline concessions industry but I got laid off after 9-11. I decided that I needed an education. I am in a 3 year health technologies program, studying respiratory therapy and radiological technologies.
I just started another job working for another airline related concessions chain at DFW airport. Now I am working 50+ hours and taking 15 hours at school.I am tired...

>studying respiratory therapy


I have a friend who does this. There were no shortages of work in this field...especially here in Phoenix. He can almost pick any shift he wants and still makes great money.
