What does everyone do for a living?

I noticed a lot of you girl and guys are on during morning hours and less at night so im thinkin you all are at work. Im a stay at home mom and i redeliver newspapers to people who did not get them on the weekends...

I dont work right now as much because i have gotten to a point where i feel almost embarrassed to get a job. I have a hard time working in an office because i dont have the right clothing to wear and anything that looks office appropriate in my size is like 35 years older than me..;):D Well the benefits of seeing my daughter grow up right now are far greater than an office job so for now its ok, but i can be a sit on my azz mom forever....its time to get moving and get my career goin....

So anyway just curious what you all do for a living and basically just tryin to get a feel for you all.

p.s. i dont think ive ever used "you all" in a post so many times!!

Okay, just had to post my 2 cents. :) You mentioned that you were a stay-at-home Mom & wanted to move on with your career...

Dr. Phil says that stay-at-home Mom's work the same amount of hrs. as if you had 2 full-time jobs!! You are indeed WORKING!!!

By the way, I am a proud stay-at-home Mom (3 kids!!) & I also teach piano lessons out of my home. (25 students!) I was banded 6 weeks ago & have lost 20 lbs!! YEAH!! 88 more to go!

Boy, there's a bunch of fat nurses. I'm one too. Takes one to know one. Looks like we're too busy caring for others instead of taking care of ourselves. I'm glad all of us are finally taking charge of our own health.

I am a SHAM to my 8 year old son at the moment, but before I quit work, I was a photographer with a well known photographic company in Australia.

I love every minute of it.........well almost every minute, but I would never change it!

I'm a stay at home mum/student. I'm doing a Bachelor of Primary Education - which is grade school teaching to you guys - at the ripe old age of 38! I'll be 41 when I finished, my youngest will be starting school and I'll be starting a whole new career!

For over 15 years now, I've been the Executive Director of a non-profit organization providing services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. I hope to retire in 6-8 years.

My husband and I raised our three children (currently in their 20's and 30's) and recently started the process over again as we are helping raise our great-grand-daughter who is 5 months old and living with us! It's awesome...she is a joy!

I'm a Systems Engineer for a large Aerospace Corporation. They love to serve food here 24/7 so I've gained 60 of the pounds I need to lose just in the last three years I've been here. May end up quitting my job just to lose weight seeing how I have no will power at all.

I am a marine technician aboard an oceanographic research vessel so I am out to sea most of the year. I would love to be a stay at home mom but I have not found the guy to help me make a baby yet. :)

Hi all I'm a mom to 12yr daughter and a full time postal clerk. Working nights very

physical and demanding job the last 18yrs. DH is a railroad conductor
