130. I guess we all have our callings and then some. Actually, I never used my degree in the arts.

My "other" talent is raising money. I know how to do it and did it successfully for 20 years. But it is extremely stressful. However, I saw that causes I cared about needed money so I set out to learn everything I could about all areas of Fund Development, ending up with as a Special Gifts Director before retiring. My Fine Arts degree, besides giving me personal enjoyment, was a plus when I schmoozed with very wealthy donors who dabble in the arts, love great music, have art collections, support the symphony, etc. It was definitely one of my talents.
