I've worn many hats over the years.
Farm work, yard maintenance, factory labor, and other physically demanding roles. As for mind stimulating roles. I've worked as a draftsman, programmer, machine maintenance, and designed/crafted custom parts as needed.
The most uplifting of roles has to be the years I've cared for a couple of family's children. They've all grown up and could not be more proud of them.
