Education Coordinator at a rural hospital in Wisconsin. Former Physical Education teacher and football coach. Was let go because our district cut High School Physical Education and the guy who was teaching it was hired 7 days prior to me so he had seniority and took my elementary job. Turned out good though, left the public sector and joined the private sector and was able to afford my 55.
