I did read it that the job was in the past.

I didn't want to ask what you are doing today. Was it a well paying job, playing cards?
I do psychiatric nursing right now I work with our military units for active duty that are struggling with traumatic brain injuries PTSD substance abuse issues usually from meds given to them in the military to manage pain from combat injuries all related to trauma from combat or other situations while in active duty
My previous job poker did pay well. But you could never spend too much of it the swings in the game required you too be very disciplined with your bank roll and cash flow some of the best paying games in Texas were also underground at the time we didn't have the legit card houses we do know but like anything there's no free lunch I was playing at a game and we were robbed. They came in with guns tied us up but someone managed to somehow hide where they couldn't find them they called 911. there was a huge standoff the cops SWAT was involved we were hostages lasted about 2 or 3 hours till they talked the robbers down long story short that was my last game I ever played
Later I found a passion in healthcare after another bump in the road in life I had to overcome and I needed something to be passionate about like I did with cards.
So I came here and just fell in love with this crazy hobby of ours and I've been a hopeless audioholic ever since!
