What do you do for a living.

[h2oya311]

great to see so many servicemen in our community! Thank you to all!

I work for an insurance company in the 'burbs of Boston on the investments side of the house. Not nearly as exciting as everyone else's job (or so it seems).

One might argue that I have a part-time job of baseball card collecting (and occasional selling) during the day. Sometimes I wonder if my hobby/addiction will turn into something more full-time.

Ted, great car. That's as much a classic as any of the cards you post.

You say you have two of them. What years are they?

Would have retired from the Marine Corps last month but got out a handful of years ago. Wasn't sure how many more lives this cat had left in him. Got out with enough sanity to start a beautiful family and now I sell stuff to the government.

Neat, I bet a few things came up that made the job take a bit longer than expected.

Retired educator, retired from Naval Reserve in 1994. I now do 15-20 shows a year, setting up with my friend Coach Estes Cards Ron Estes. Hope to see everyone in Chicago at the National. We will be in the same group with Terry Brown of Chesterfield Cards. Numbers 502, 600, and 602 sound about right for the booths.

I now work as a museum archivist. Interesting compared to auction houses in that, while that the research and authentication work is similar, the museum has never sold a thing so financial value is a minor afterthought at best.

Nothing anymore.

My former employer, Pearson Education, decided unilaterally last year that my 40+ years of experience meant less to them than hiring two other guys to replace me (at higher salaries, I'm sure). All potential employers now look at my resume and think "too old" or "too expensive" or both. I might agree with one of those assertions.

So, bottom line, I guess I am now retired.

[mrvster]

I'm so sorry to hear that! I went through a similar situation last year

IT SUCKS!!

I'm sure they will be kicking themselves in the ass

Surprises, me, I thought Pearson was taking over the educational world and had more money than they knew what to do with!

Ken/Andrew:

Before I got canned, part of my little group was responsible for monitoring the Customer Service group that supported the PARCC operation.

You guys have any experience with PARCC yet? Still think Pearson has everything under control?

I am a former teacher that transitioned into assessment development three years ago with CTB/Mcgraw-Hill to develop for the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. They laid all of us off last year (slimming up to sell the company ). Now, I am editing assessments for Western Governor's University.

Last year was our first with PARCC. It went so well that OH canned it and will just use AIR next year!!

(My problem wasn't so much the test itself, it was the stupendous amount of time wasted around the test. I have actually started introducing myself as "used to be a teacher, now I'm a Test Proctor.")
