Does it count if I'm a pot advocate and not a head?

My work right now is first-year medical school. With lots of books and CDs and software and lab classes. But, fortunately, I'm on holiday at the moment. Before I went back to school last fall, I was a professional speechwriter/copywriter for a big corporation for many years. And before that I was a news reporter for a metropolitan newspaper and a high school English/journalism teacher. During my teaching years and throughout college and grad school before that, I also worked as a fire department paramedic.
