I work full time for a company that makes braces and retainers and stuff like that. Most of my time in the office is spent talking to dentists on how to treat their patients and backing up my co-workers, who refuse to come to work. Best part? I travel. I'm OOT for work at least once a month. It's awesome because I get to meet our customers face to face and get the eff out of the office.

Oh, and I decorate cakes on the side.

Oh, and my degree is in Early Childhood Education... Yeah, I'm one of those people who went to college and don't use their degree...

I hear ya! I have a Master's in costume design...and now I work in real estate

Not from PA. It was the America school counselor association conference. Check out the ASCA website!

ckandi007 · September 2013

I am a photographer. It works out great because I get to stay home during the day with my LO and work on weekends or weekday mornings/evenings. And I've been able to keep it up after moving.

Kate070 · September 2013

I work as a bank teller, but am also in the process of founding a nonprofit (it doesn't pay yet, but my dream is for that to be my career one day!)

jewls619 · September 2013

I used to be a teller at a bank, but I've been a SAHM since my DD was born.

MrsT2008 · September 2013

I work in IT. I work full time, but only 4 days a week (10 hrs/day, 8 during the day and 2 in the evenings after DD is in bed)

Baileypearl · September 2013

I am a nurse and only work on the weekends, so I get to feel like a SAHM mon - fri and then I get to save lives on the weekends, best part about it is that my company considers it full time so I get full benefits and retirement! Truely the best of both worlds!

ehowa499 · September 2013

I'm an occupational therapist- full time in a school and part time in a hospital.

chknma · September 2013

HS History Teacher.

Kmbaybay · September 2013

SAHM

cjags · September 2013

I'm an occupational therapist, though I'm between jobs now as we move. Until last week I worked in a rehab centre that worked with people who had been in car accidents or had work-related injuries. It was interesting, but I'm hoping when we move to get work in pediatrics or with people who have mental health issues.

Also I'm terrified of having to find work while KU.

Nikkipal82 · September 2013

I'm an RN on a busy surgical step down unit (heart/lung). First time pregnant, I'm interested to see how 12 hour shifts will be as pregnancy progresses!

TheBeeCharmer · September 2013

Former 4th grade teacher (taking a leave of absence). I am now staying home with my two kids, at least for a year!

pandadair · September 2013

Revenue Manager for a hotel/condo management firm. Also working part-time on my MS in Hospitality Management.

I have to say, it's sort of a relief to see so many working ladies on here that already have a kid (or kids). I have no intention of leaving my job, but sometimes I feel like all I hear is that it's impossible to do both.

HKTravis · September 2013

A full time massage therapist here.

It is tough sometimes (like today I'm working on her 2nd birthday) but I knew from my maternity leave that being a SAHM just wasn't for me. Not that I couldn't take care of my daughter, but being at home all day made me lazy and feel sort of worthless. Keeping my career was the right move for both me and my daughter as I'm a much better parent to her because of it. Of course, there are plenty of other people that feel better being a SAHM so you'll figure it out when you get there.

Smolt · September 2013

Paralegal, photography on the side.

I am absolutely desperate to find a job where I can work at home though. Our *plan* was to not have our third until I was able to stay home with baby... the plan didn't work

BettyBoop86 · September 2013

I am an RN also!! There are so many of us. I work in a busy Level 3 NICU and before that I was in NICU 2. I love what I do and would not trade it for anything!!! I Love taking care of my tiny humans.

mbRN83 · September 2013

Another RN here! I'm starting my new job in two weeks actually! I was just hired in a Cardiothoracic ICU. I work three 12 hour night shifts a week. They're kind of brutal, but I'm used to nights.
