I work at a Homeless shelter as a front line worker (so do all the odd jobs, plus am the contact for all the clients, do referrals, be emotional support....)

Eventually I do want to go back to school and work in Adoptions or Foster Care support.

It seems like we have the same heart. I want to adopt one day, hopefully a sibling set, but I would LOVE to work in the same fields you mention. We can all do so much more than we usually do to help others.

I'm a HS French teacher. I am also the Color Guard instructor, but I won't be continuing with that after this season. I am ready for a break from that, though I will continue teaching.

I speak French also and have taught, though not high school.

I'm a manager/server at a busy local restaurant. I work with a lot of teachers and my bf's friends wives are all teachers. And most of you are teachers. My dad became a teacher for about 10 years before he retired. Maybe it's a hint.

carolinaBK18

I'm an associate director of marketing for very large nonprofit. I love my job and plan on continuing to work fulltime after the baby ... although I know it's going to be so hard. Timing is a bitch for us women -- as soon as I finish grad school and hit my stride career-wise, it's time to have a baby (I'm 33)! 

KendraL86

I am a personal injury attorney. I work for my DH's law firm, so I will continue to work from home after the baby comes. Since I work for DH, my schedule is (thankfully) very flexible.

What great work! I take on probono work for undocumented (mostly women) clients who have been subject to abuses in the US, too. It's very sad though very rewarding work.

I'm a SAHM. I used to be a registrar at a college for 5 years but staying at home was better for my health. *Dealing with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome* Being a SAHM is by far the best job I've ever had!! :x
