GTKY- What Do You Do For a Living?

BumpasaurusRex · June 2016

Work is super slow and I'm bored.

Currently, I work for a mortgage company as a Processor but I'm thinking of branching out as a Real Estate Agent. I'd love to be on the other side of the mortgage industry and work more directly with people.

fourPsinapod · June 2016

I was a teacher but was laid off for the upcoming year due to district financial issues. I'm looking for jobs but might end up taking this next year off and getting my masters if nothing pops up.

catiecatp · June 2016

I teach Psychology as an adjunct right now at a large-ish university here in Canada (maybe 30,000 students). In August we will move to San Antonio where I have been offered a faculty position at a community college with about 17,000 students.

CherryBananas · June 2016

I'm a dental assistant for a general dentist. I've been working for the same lady for almost the entire 10 years I've been in this business. I deal mostly with kids under the age of 10 and with orthodontics. I love going to work every day!

blush64 · June 2016

I am currently at home with my 3 year old. I didn't go back after maternity leave 2 years ago. (My work was aware I was considering it and completely fine with it) I love being home but I will be starting school soon.

L Jane · June 2016

I've been a SAHM since my second child was born. (Almost 5 years now) we've since had another daughter and now this baby. I stay VERY busy & I love it!

chelseas0620 · June 2016

I'll play!

I do all of the accounting for our family farm, and I also work at a commercial feed yard as a cattle accountant.

thehappyphotog · June 2016

I'm a professional photographer. This is my 10th year in business and I love it.

varimama · June 2016

I'm a process engineer for a semiconductor company. DH is also an engineer at the same company, it's nice getting to work together though our jobs don't overlap frequently we get to carpool most days and eat lunch together.

emilypanthel · June 2016

I'm currently not working, but am going for a interview for a financial company. I've worked as a marine insurance underwriter.

Vastra · June 2016

I'm a writer and performer, but I'll be taking a hiatus for a couple of years once the baby comes. I also have a background in arts grants, so I will probably do that from home for a little while.

Xstatic3333 · June 2016

I'm a program coordinator for a small environmental nonprofit.

cinderin · June 2016

HR, I've done it all but do Benefits right now.

rachoochoo2 · June 2016

I have been a SAHM for 5 years and I am a student working towards my degree in elementary ed. I'm very close to finishing my associates degree and will continue after that.

Gingersnap · June 2016

I work for a warehouse chain.
Only weekends though, I am fortunate to SAH with my kid during the week. And she goes to preschool. It's not bad ;-)

HeatSparks · June 2016

I taught high school English for six years before becoming a SAHM after my second was born. I got my Master's in gifted education about a year ago. Right now I do a little freelance work for an education blog.

kswiger06 · June 2016

I've always been a stay at home mom. I've been married for 10 years and we were together a year before that. Husband and I met my senior year of high school. He always worked and always said if I don't need to work he'd rather me stay home. So i quit my highschool job and that was it. I've been very blessed to stay home with our kids.

Momma0528 · June 2016

I worked in marketing for years before my now 3yo was born. I've stayed at home with her ever since!

beern · June 2016

I work in Marketing in the insurance industry. My husband is a SAHD. We plan on pursuing our dream of opening a small restaurant after this baby comes!

Another teacher here! I've taught 9th grade English for 3 years in an inner-city high school. I'm moving up in the world to upperclassmen next year. In a past life, I was in music PR.

For real.

angeltennis3 · June 2016

I am in the accounting field and audit public companies. I love my job because I get to balance being a (relatively) high powered female executive with my family life by only working 32 hours a week.

Wooo! Hi!

poofwok · June 2016

Registered nurse! I work mostly in transfusions.

MagicMikki · June 2016

I have two simultaneous careers and it's hard as hell. I work full time in state government on a policy and legislative team. I'm on a nice, small team where we analyze or current legislations, ensure appropriate changes, and then make sure our systems and processes comply with legislation. It's way more complicated than that, but that's it in a nutshell.

DH and I are also a real estate team! It's so much fun, but it's so hard to quit my full time, salaried, awesome benefits job for 100% commission and no benefits... LOL!

Best decision DH and I made was to get licensed! We went through the licensing courses a few years ago, but have been more serious about it over the last year to year and a half. It's not exactly cheap, but it is relatively inexpensive considering other "self-employment" options one might choose. Also, my husband and I haven't made the leap into this being our only means of income, but for right now, it's an awesome (but challenging) "second job"!

MommaBean · June 2016

Tomorrow concludes my 9th year of teaching high school! I teach remedial reading to primarily 9th and 10th graders. I'm so grateful to have some time off coming up since I'm not feeling great (though I do have to work this summer bc I'm the head of my dept., but it's pretty flexible).
