From the mid 1960s through the 1970s Connie taught for Chico Unified Schools and Chico State as a substitute teacher while raising her family. In 1980 she took a 6 month job with National Medical Enterprises, where she worked in Saudi Arabia to open a new hospital. With the conclusion of that job, she decided to become a travel agent and pursue her passion for international travel.
