Shout out to @morrkim!

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (some states we're called clinical social workers). Don't worry I don't "snatch babies" which is the typical association people have with social workers which is just super unfortunate.

I was totally on the snatching babies side for a while. I was a supervisor for a child advocacy program. Currently I'm working for the state (Department of Health and Senior Services)

I dropped out of the masters program my first pregnancy but my goal is to finish and get my LCSW about the time kiddos hit kindergarten.

I am an attorney for a firm that maiy represents police and firemen. We do interest arbitrations, contract negotiations, pensions, discipline appeals and I mostly do workers compensation and divorce....if you're bored from reading, imagine how I feel doing it. My DH is a laser operator for sheet metal fabricator so there is no chance I could be a SAHM

tamarnina · March 2014

I'm a bankruptcy attorney (I handle mid-sized to large business cases, not individual cases). My husband is a doctor. I guess I could be a SAHM, but I don't think I am tough enough to handle it.

renbee · March 2014

I work in fundraising for a performing arts nonprofit. It's lots of getting dressed up and schmoozing. I really like it, but the hours during our busy season are kind of brutal...we'll see how long I keep doing it after baby.

mrsodonnell12 · March 2014

I'm a part time sahm and I work outside the home 3 days per week as a business manager.

I am in central Kansas! I am going to guess you must be in a bigger district that can support having self contained classrooms. Whereabouts are you? Edit:nevermind, I just saw SW/soon to be Wichita in the other thread!

lizgrace03 · March 2014

@MmmPopcorn, I'm a former middle school teacher! That was a crazy job, but I did enjoy it.

I'm a Ph.D. student studying neighborhood change and urban geography. I also teach a few courses as an adjunct. I'm hoping to graduate May 2015. After that, I'm considering SAHM-dom and continuing my nighttime adjunct work. We'll see.

I love this thread by the way!

ET fix my pisspoor proofreading.

Owlgrad2015 · March 2014

@jamiek1882 So nice to see a pharmacist here! Where do you work?

I'm an attorney, mostly business litigation but I like taking on pro bono cases (volunteer). I particularly like doing veterans benefits cases.

jessa1228 · March 2014

I work at a credit union. If it wasn't for H's outrageous student loans, I'd be a SAHM.

stacyslo · March 2014

I'm in pharmaceutical sales. Dh works in agribusiness. I am seriously considering sahm after this baby.

dbgwife · March 2014

I'm currently a pre nursing student who will be taking time off school to be a sahm. I was so close to applying before finding out I was pregnant! This is a very happy surprise though completely unexpected. My husband is in the Navy and is on his rates form of shore duty.

My husband owns his own business and restores and rebuilds hotrods.

SweetMelissa5 · March 2014

I'm a SAHM (when my youngest was born, daycare was no longer financially feasible on my salary), and I will continue to stay home at least until the last kid goes to school.

mneese · March 2014

@jamiek1882 @owlgrad2015 Also a pharmacist! These 13 hours shifts on my feet are exhausting!!

Meekahh · March 2014

I'm an accounting admin with a construction company. I also am going to school for my Bachelor of Commerce. My BF is in the airforce.

We are moving in July, so I will be a SAHM for a while, and take some classes in the evening while on Mat leave.

jaimelenore · March 2014

I'm currently working at Peaceful Valley Farm Supply. We focus on organic gardening and I love it! I have learned so much already and plan to continue gardening to provide healthy, home grown, organic foods for my family and me. I would love to be a SAHM, but I'm not sure if the cards will work out that way.

aefrye25 · March 2014

My husband and I are both rail traffic controllers (like air traffic controllers, but for trains), but I plan on staying at home after delivery.

Owlgrad2015 · March 2014

@jamiek1882 wow that is so cool you are a professor! @mneese tell me about it! Still a student but work at CVS and it's 14 hour days 8am to 10 pm for pharmacists..killer!!!

JamieK1882 · March 2014

@owlgrad2015 and @mneese that's why I like my moonlighting job...every other weekend and the hours are 9-4 on Sat and 10-2 on Sunday. Can't beat that!

mb314 · March 2014

I save old buildings.

Lewis813 · March 2014

I was a nanny for 12 years but had to stop because it was getting too difficult with our infertility/adoption journey. I've spent the last year at home and the last five months finishing my associates degree. We just got our BFP yesterday after our second IUI procedure so I will most likely stay home!

Maybeyesmaybeno · March 2014

I am a collections manager at a fine art museum on a university campus. I also am an adjunct professor in the museum studies Master's program. I've also been a staff member on archaeological excavations in the Mediterranean. I love what I do and have always known it's what I would be doing when I grew up. Although I do wonder if after having the baby I will want to stay home. I am very particular and can see myself thinking no one will do it the way I would. We shall see.

turtles7 · March 2014

I work for an insurance company.

babyknutson · March 2014

Police Officer. I plan to be a SAHM after baby comes.

peerwedding · March 2014

I work for the government in a museum as a reservations clerck. Not very exciting but the pay is good. I previously did my bachelor in graphic design and after graduation i decided it was not for me. I then proceeded to study french/english translation, still in the process but thinking of switching it up and going for something in health care, a little more active than behind a desk.

Dh is a medical technician in the Canadian Forces, Navy. He thinks i would be a great nurse, i'm leaning more towards ultrasound tech. or lactation consultant. Both very transportable (good for the military) but not in very high demand here... nursing really would be ideal. I'll take my year of maternity leave to weight my options! I can't wait!
