Denise,

You might want to try the Florence Crittenden Agency for work. They work with pregnant teens. They are currently trying to update their website, but you can find them at www.fca.org

Hello everyone.

I have been working at a private school in Knoxville for 7 years. This week is our last week - not just for school but as a business. We're closing. What makes it hard for me is that this is the first job I have ever loved. It's not so much the teaching - it's the kids (reaching them) and being given the freedom to design my lessons for what works with these unique students. It dawned on me that what I love is the challenge of learning new things and making a solution happen.

I have also been the computer technology coordinator for the school. This is my passion. I love technology and believe it is getting better and better each day. I hope to find a new job in the field of technology and to finish my website about technology. I'm looking for a job in the field of computers and technology.
I'm hoping to start a business with 2 others in this field.

Spent nearly 4 years at Sea Ray Corp. I have recently started an independent rep company representing boat manufacturers. I am also brokering wholesale boats and yachts. There are a lot of great deals out there and people are buying used, if they are buying.

I have started to other smaller medical device companies. i need a young aggressive individual to come in and help me run the medical company.
