  I'm a hairstylist at heart but I am a district manager and oversee 10 hairsalons, and only work behind the chair 2 days a week. I'm in charge to make sure sales are always up and the stores profit.

  Just a SAHM right now. I work weekends at a skating rink in the months of October-May. I'd love to pursue my talent in art and be an illustrator or comic book artist. But currently I'm looking at a career in nursing..

  I did that for three years and I literally loved it so much. I loved looking at the monthly statements and getting them as clean a whistle.

  I have a home daycare. Although I have an illinois teaching license in agricultural and English education and a masters in special education, I can't stand the public schools in this state and how they treat their teachers. So, I get to stay home with my first child and teach other kiddos between the ages of 2 And 7

  I'm a paralegal at a patent law firm - high stress and long hours but I enjoy it. We will see how those long hours work when I go back though. I also have a graphic design business on the side and sell nursery/wedding/home prints on etsy and recently on zulily. Again, not sure how this will all work after baby. Trying not to think about it for now. Love this post idea!

  For those that don't already know, I own and run an event planning company. Aside from all the things that come with ownership and management of a business, I meet with engaged couples, or other clients to basically make sure that they get their ideal celebration or better on a budget that's affordable for them and reasonable for what they want and what I can provide.
  
  I'm also a mom of 4 lol which is a job all on its own.

  I work for my dad in our family catering company. I absolutely love being able to cook with my dad! We do everything from small lunch caterings to parties and weddings. @jensavicci‌ we are always thankful whenever we work with event planners for big events! We would be lost without them. I'm convinced event planners have super powers because I'm not sure how they keep all of the details straight!
  
  Not sure when I will go back to working yet, but thankfully my boss is pretty nice
