 GJ> So what sort of school does Roslind teach at?
 JW> She doesn't, not any more. Her career has progressed thusly:
 JW> She started off as a beautician (a combination of the hairdressing,
 JW> barbering, esthetics and massage trades) and owned a successful shop
 JW> with several employees.

 JW> Before I met her, she had obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree
 JW> but continued doing hair for a living as it paid better than being
 JW> an artist.

Ha!  Tell me.  I have a grandson who has a degree in Dramatic Arts.
He works in a restaurant kitchen...

 JW> When I met her she was half way through her second degree, Education
 JW> this time. Upon graduation she was a substitute teacher teaching
 JW> from K-12 for one year as there were no full time permanent
 JW> positions available that year.

 JW> In subsequent years she decided she preferred adult education and
 JW> did stints at (1) the local community college, writing a curriculum,
 JW> designing a classroom studio for hairdressers so they could
 JW> learn locally and not have to go down to Edmonton for training. She
 JW> also supervised its construction. She taught there for the first
 JW> year, then turned it over to someone else. She was also paid by the
 JW> HR dept. to write the job description and the ad, interview the
 JW> applicants and select the successful candidate. (2) Project Change,
 JW> a GNWT funded initiative - doing basic upgrading for special needs
 JW> (learning disabilities) students in jail but eligible for day
 JW> passes, on parole or at a halfway house (3) NWT Native Women's
 JW> Association - Grade 12 equivalency for adults (4) Federal Status of
 JW> Women's Council, doing a traveling (to all the remote communities in
 JW> the NWT) workshop to raise awareness on non-traditional employment
 JW> opportunities, relevant courses to take and how to apply for student
 JW> aid.

 JW> She also sat on the trades standards committee representing the
 JW> NWT, Nunavut and the Yukon in Ottawa and helped develop the national
 JW> education and training standards (red seal program) and designed the
 JW> tests for hairdressers, barbers and estheticians. She gave herself
 JW> her red seal.

 JW> All the while she worked on her Masters of Education through
 JW> distance learning. After she obtained it she took a job at the
 JW> community college teaching pre-education to aspiring Education
 JW> students.

 JW> Then she started a certificate course in Counselling. As soon as
 JW> that was completed she quit teaching and set up a practise which
 JW> occupies her today. And she is working on a Master of Science degree
 JW> in clinic psychology (she is in the middle of the very last course)
 JW> which will make her a more qualified and more highly paid
 JW> counsellor. She stills does hair at home for old friends Saturdays
 JW> and still gives me massages when I need one. Art has taken a back
 JW> seat until she retires or at least stops studying.

 JW> She says her career is actually professional student.

Wow!!!!!

So with all those intellectual and practical achievements, where did
she find time to be led astray by you?!

What seems obvious to me is that with that sort of background, she
would have had a lot of people trying to push her into taking up
politics.  How did she resist those pressures?
