Susan J.'s Story
Life
I've had a pretty full life so far . . . I have a bachelors and masters degrees in business. Started out in sales and things evolved from there. I lived in Wichita, Ks for several years, where I was married and my son was born. Moved back to the Chicago area, eventually remarried and worked in my husband's business.
Now divorced with my son out of college (and with a CPA) I am enjoying life as a single woman.
School
I had studied in high school with the intention of going on to college, altho I had no idea what I wanted to major in. I was not very active in events in high school, having been a member of the biology club and the French club. I was kind of on the outskirts of social activity.

hich I had earned a scholarship. However, after taking an early beginning marketing course, I switched my major to busines (marketing) and gratuated with a B.S. Then I went to school nights to earn my MBA 5 years later. In my fourties, I went back to school at Harper to earn my paralegal degree. I am not using any of this education specifically in my work now, but I am glad for the experience and education.
I live on my own now and enjoy time with my friends, as well as occasional visits from my son. I'm a fairly independent person. I love rock 'n roll and am a big fan of Def Leppard. I enjoy going to concerts. In my spare time I like to read mysteries/thrillers/suspense novels. Not too interested in television, unless it's to watch the Chicago Bears play.
