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!!

Lets see. I work at home taking care of 3 severely mentally retarded men, I manage the house and the staff as well as providing direct care. And I go to school to become an American Sign Language Interpreter. Oh, and during the summer I work full time at our local electric company. It is not uncommon for me to work 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. (I get to sleep "on the clock")

My title is "Retention Advisor" for a TRiO grant at a community college. We in TRiO serve students who have a disability, are low income, and/or are first generation. I help them with degree and career planning, finding local resources for housing, transportation, etc., scholarships and federal financial aid, and exposing them to cultural events like plays and musicals. Sometimes I have to act as counselor too, though I'm really more an advisor than counselor.

My hubby works in higher ed too. He is a professor of Music and First Year Experience. His title is "Resident Master", meaning he has programming duties along with the teaching. We live in with the students as well, in the residence hall.

We're also parents to our daughter, who is six. She'll soon start 1st grade. This summer we're busy chauffering her to dance, gymnastics, and swimming.

I just read this today - any job that you whistle on the way to work is a good one - try to find something that makes you happy first and pays the bills. I'm off the fast track now - my boyfriend and i moved to utah and are basically ski bums in the winter. he now longer grinds his teeth to nubs and I sleep all night. he makes a bit m ore money as a computer consultant so i can work pt at various jobs (exec asst, substitute teacher, work at ski resort in winter). We are definitely less well off but much m uch happier.

I'm a real estate agent in Ontario, single mom 24 hrs a day, mower of 5 acres, caregiver of hamster and dog and friend to many!

Sounds more like a night job!!:whoo::whoo:

(I might if patrons promised not to run out the door):)

I am a teacher of kids with visual impairments.

Anyone else notice how many of us are helpers/nurturers? Even Teresita! If that isn't a service worker, I don't know what is!
