No, not rude. I was in financial sectors (stocks shares and all that jazz) but also trained as a post traumatic stress counsellor helping bank staff involved in armed robberies and such like, which was much more interesting and in my opinion a hundred times more worthwhile.

i spent 21 years working in dentistry, as anything from a receptionist, to office manager, to dental assistant.
for the past 6 years i have been self employed--and have a very successful pet sitting business. |

Since returning from Cyprus, I have been fascinated by the Cypriot counselling systems regarding post 1974 and what services are available for Cypriots. My ambition in life is for when my kids get older (they are nearly 21 and nearly 22  ), I will be able to come back to Cyprus and work in the counselling field however worry about the language difference. I know how to speak greek, however would not know the correct terminology. It is good to dream   |

That is a fantastic idea.... pet sitting. I cannot believe how many people have pets in Cyprus. A significant number more per head than here in Australia. |

i live in NY. they pay more to take care of a pet than they do to babysit thier kids.
i have done alot of babysitting in my adult life as well--to suppliment my crappy dental salary. now i make alot of money. dogs rule! (and cats are even better!)  |

You can pick it up . Probably the terminolgy is all based on the Greek language anyway. Most of your clients would be English speaking anyway. In the meantime you can go to Greek classes with your grandchildren. |
