Well, IF I were using that slot, I'd use it for the occupation he had the longest, and put the dates in for that. However, this seems to me to be one of those slots which is most useful for distinguishing James Smith the farmer from James Smith the gunsmith or James Smith the Senator. > Opps, while I am here there is one more thing-------- Graduation: > Only one entry allowed.

And, again speaking personally, I'd ignore any "graduation" lower than HS. Cheryl
