I now live in Seoul, South Korea. Despite my 6 years of science and writing undergraduate college education and almost getting a master's in chemistry, my most lucrative job in the states was as an over the road trucker. I will skip my jobs in the chemical field as a lab tech. I worked part-time in San Antonio as a programmer and computer tech from like 2004 but after a divorce I came to Korea. Working with the web is now just a hobby.

In Korea I have bought jewelry in SE Asia and sold it on ebay, studied lots of Korean, finally (after being diagnosed with stage IV cancer) moved out of teaching into proofreading and translation field. I have been working strictly with documents and no students since 2007. My cancer came back in a big way on my heart (!) and right pleura in Xmas 2009 so now I am in real trouble again. I stay up on current affairs by reading The Economist online and listening to other foreigner's stories.
