I'm a financial accountant for a Fortune 500 natural gas company. I work in the retail division - we sell wholesale fuel to industry, school districts, municipalities and so forth.

In a perfect world, I would be able to make a living at something textile related - but my parents insisted that I get credentials in something that I could make a living at and support my family. Turns out that was a good thing! Being widowed in my 40s with a child still at home was hard enough without having to pack getting back into the workforce on top of it.

I've been with this company for 12 years now, and plan to retire from it. Good people there.
