Well, I am old enough to be Tracy's mother. My daughter is the same age as her. When I was watching JL back in the day I used to say to my husband if our daughter even thought about behaving like that, adult or not...
Anyhoo, I worked in financial services (17 years): banking, mutual funds, brokerage, etc. I went back to school for 18 months (worked full time, plus O.T. & went to school three nights a week). I got a legal assistant's certificate and I've worked as a dockettor and or assistant/paralegal for over 20 years. I am currently working on obtaining my paralegal certificate (getting the certificate is just a formality, but I am finally doing it !).
We are empty-nesters and we are loving it !
