Life time Student.

Paying jobs were:

Military Pilot
Military Dog trainer
Farmer
Physiological Psychologist
Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor
Para-Legal
Psychiatric Technician
Draughtsman
CPS Sexual abuse investigator
Small business owner
Paramedic

Quote often I held down at least two jobs at the same time. The only Jobs I had as a single Job with no other job at the same time were as a pilot and When I was an Investigator with CPS. A physiological psychologist is basicaly research and the pay is poor. During those years I kept second jobs as a Draughtsman and as a paramedic. I had my own consulting firm while I was working as a Voc. Rehab Counselor for the State of Louisiana

I'm 67 years old. I actualy started flying Piper Cubs when I was 14 got my private License when I was 16. The AF taught me to fly an F-86 very rapidly.

I was still flying a Cessna 192 up until 2 years ago.

Far from being loaded. Had my ups and downs. Been what you could term wealthy on a few occasions and have been absolutly penniless more often. Currently living on retirement income from my old consulting firm, An Air Force service connected disability pension and Sociol security.

Due to some very serious problems 2 years ago I lost every bit of my worldly possesions, farm, home, car, etc.(Not the first time I had that happen) So, also because of health problems I now live with my youngest daughter. Starting over and if Health and time permits, I'll try something new.

I actually left out a number of jobs in the list. A favorite was as a newspaper cartoonist. I had a weekly comic strip running in a few newspapers for a few years. But, I was the only one who understood my cartoons

Enjoying life yes, Happy no. As far as happiness goes I am much more happy now. Hopefully I will finaly do something constructive and use the remainder of my time trying to serve Allah(swt). Stop and think a person who has found happiness is not going to have any need in jumping from career after career and looking for excitement and adventure.

All I gained is I made sufficient mistakes in life to finaly learn what is important. That was the best education I finaly got.

What do you understand by the word "Profession".

When you that the basic profession is to be a Muslim, then it means that you earn your honest living by following the path of Islam.

Now let's see how the holy prophet and his companions used to earn money after they introduced the Islamic system completely.

1. Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) made a few trips for business before he became the prophet. His wife was a wealthy woman, he didn't need to make money to fulfill her basic financial needs. Therefore, he could get enough time to spend in the cave of Hera. He absolutely did no business after they migrated to Madina. It was in madina that he they needed money again. They didn't earn any money through agricultural or industrial production. They had no business or trade as well. Only way they could make money was to make a profession of Muslim Mujahids. They served the nearby tribes by providing them security services (Islam means security). They recieved Jazia (Fee) from the weaker tribes in return for their services. Every Mujahid used to get equal share from the jazia as well as from the booty (Maal-e-ghaneemut). So this became the profession of every Muslim after migration.

Note: Kafirs of Mecca attacked them three times only because they saw Muslims making a parallel power and as an emerging threat to their power.

Re: Stories of Muslim Reverts! - Post yours here! - 05-22-2006
I did not revert until I was 65 years old. I knew very much about Islam, in a scholastic manner for many years. But, I never saw what it meant until I was 65.

I was born in a very good Christian home. Did everything in line with the teachings of the Church. I felt very close to God(swt) and had accepted Jesus(pbuh) as my personal savior.

When I reached my mid twenties, I still loved God(swt) but I no longer agreed with the teachings of the Church. I became Buddhist, not so much as a religion, but rather as a philosophy of life.

I was very blessed with having the opportunity to pursue a very good academic life. One of my Favorite studies was languages. I also was very much interested in Philosophy and Comparative Religions. My undergraduate days were actualy in a Seminary.

My first career was as an USAF Combat Pilot. After being severly injured my Military career came to an early end. I then pursued mechanical engineering and ended up working as a Draftsman (Draughtsman for the old spelling). During that time I also continued my education torn between Biology and Psychology. I also had the opportunity to do considerable traveling. Lived in quite a few different places. I kept my interest in Languages and pursued the Arabic Language. During that time I did manage to get a copy of the Qur'an all in Arabic. I used it as a means to develope my Arabic skills. I was also interested in reading it as an informational source about Islam.

Well during the years I had 3 Children 2 girls and a son. The two Girls were interested in the Arabic Language. At an early age they reverted to Islam. My grandchildren were all born Muslim. So, I had plenty of contac with Muslims. But, I still felt it was not what I was seeking.


Finaly one day when I was 65 years old I decided to brush up on my language skills by reading the Qur'an again. For some reason, it looked different. I was not looking at it as a scholar, I was FEELINGit, I do not know how long or how many times I read it in the next day or two. But, then I knew, I had to say the Shahadah, I said it to Allah(swt) immediatly and the very next Friday I said it at the Masjid.

That was the begining of my final and best career. It is the one I am on now and it is the only one that has any true value.
