Yes, a very small sewing/counted cross stitch business. Due to outsourcing, I couldn’t compete with Old Navy that can sell a dress for $5 because they have slave labor making it and almost no shipping charges from China.

I owned a graphic design business for 20 years. Burned out from constant deadlines and got a real job. There’s nothing like a job. They pay you just for showing up.

When I was young my gf had our daughter and then to help make $ we opened a daycare, primarily for kids on ssi. It was a good experience overall and allows me the time to go to college evenings
