GTKY-What do you do for a living?

kap1988 · July 2016

I've seen from previous threads what some of you do. I can tell just from talking to you guys so far that this is a very talented bunch and I'm curious what careers everyone has pursued. So those of you that work outside of the home, how do you bring home the bacon?

I am a paralegal at a small intellectual property law firm. I help to prepare and file trademark and patent applications with the US Patent and Trademark Office. I love it, it's challenging and very interesting, and one of the most lucrative things I could do with my useless English Literature degree.

I am a preschool teacher which is PERFECT because when I go back to work I can just let my baby be there (they accept them starting at 6 weeks) and I can leave every two hours to breastfeed. My job is amazing!

Saracp78 · July 2016

SAHM and teacher taking leave

I was an elementary school teacher for 11 years. I am taking the next couple years off to raise DD and have this little bean

the plan is that I'll go back in 3 more academic years. But I am looking to start a masters program next fall. I already have a masters in education but am looking to complete a program in curriculum and instruction mainly because I miss learning and feel that after 11 years teaching and 1.5 at home I could use a brush up

I just have to convince my DH it is worth the $$.

But until then I am a full-time one on one educational specialist to the cutest and brightest little 18-month-old you've ever met
