Rochelle's Story

I am happily married. I'll have my 8th anniversary in 2008. No children of my own, but I do have a 13 year old stepson. Ive known him since he was two and he doesn't remember a time when I wasn't around. He is an awesome kid and his future is looking very bright. My husband owns a construction company specializing in decks, pergolas, arbors and other outdoor hardscape. I work with him on the job site occasionally, but prefer to be indoors on days when the weather is cold or wet. I do like working in construction and have acted as a general contractor on two separate whole house projects. I sold the most recent house last October. I have had so many jobs that I just can't count them all! The vast majority were in low paying situations such as restaurant and retail work. I did work in the wedding industry for 6 years in a variety of different positions, but enjoyed the tuxedo rental and sales business the best. I also worked as an exotic dancer for 9 years. Without that job I wouldn't have been able to build a construction business with my husband. He is extremely good at what he does, but we needed a good solid income while the business was young, and dancing gave me that. Now the construction business is going very well and I have retired from ...Expand for more
spinning round the pole. I miss dancing at times, but don't miss the late nights, pervasive tobacco smoke in my hair and clothes, the aching feet, back, knees, hips and the constant time spent on personal maintenance in the salon, the gym and watching every little thing I eat. It is nice to have some french fries once in a while :-) I am working part time now for the talent agent that used to handle my own bookings back when I was dancing. I enjoy being an agent, but it really is a dead end job with little to no room for advancement. But it is fun and I get to work from home (or wherever I happen to be). Since I love to travel, taking my job with me is darn convenient. I spent 3 weeks in Arizona and Southern California this winter to get away from the rain and cold of the Pacific Northwest. It is nice to work all day on Friday and spend all day Saturday at SeaWorld. I have recently returned to school. Since the construction business has slowed a bit, my help on the jobsite is unnecessary. So I returned to Community College for spring term 2008. I plan on moving on to a four year school, but I've got a lot of work in community college first. Right now my focus is Economics, but if the math proves too challenging I may switch to Political Science.
