I'm a SAHM. Previously I worked for an agricultural manufacturer in Marketing, Product/Customer Support, and Product Safety & Compliance. I was with that company for 11 years.

I'm a SAHM, most of my adult life I was an assistant in special education but the year prior to having my daughter I worked as an Office Coordinator for a property management company.
I'm a customer service supervisor in manufacturing for my day job. But, I also own 2 photography business (one for family friendly stuff and a separate one for boudoir) and I'm a birth doula. I'm clearly a glutton for punishment but the photography and doula work fulfills me while the day job gives me a consistent paycheck.

I am a front end web developer, and work for a good sized company in Boston. I used to be a math teacher, but left teaching to get into tech, with the hopes of working in Ed Tech or teaching web development in schools.

Mommy to a super cute havanesse puppy and baby boy!
I'm a SAHM. Before my son, I was a middle school math teacher. Now, to make some extra cash I do some private tutoring for middle school and high school students. I love it bc it let's me use my brain and interact with older kids, but it also allows me to be home with my son almost all day.
I am a SAHM. My husband and I agreed that he would work and I take care of the home and children. This is my full time job! I have a bachelors in Health science and one year of medical school. I left medicine after the first year in lieu of teaching others health and natural remedies instead of drugs as an answer to chronic disease. I believe drugs can be necessary in emergency situations and surgery, but that diet and lifestyle change can help reduce and eliminate chronic diseases. I also help my husband with secretarial and accounting work for our ministry and business and am taking an on-line accounting course to learn good accounting practices.
I engineer steering gears for vehicles. This will be our first but I plan to return to work after my 12 week leave. We're both engineers and neither of us are willing to give up our careers just yet as we are pretty young (I'm 24, DH is 28)
@Peedy I had no idea you were in Boston too! I taught Middle school math (5th and 6th grade), until 2015 when I quit and started web development! Small world!

SAHM, I didn't really have a career before DH joined the Air Force. I was a regional manager of a chain of gas stations then in Guam I managed a chain or retail printing supply stores. I'm waiting until we end up somewhere for more than a couple years before I head back to school to hammer out the rest of my requirements to be a vet tech.
I'm a pediatric speech language pathologist and do some PRN with geriatrics on the weekends. DH just got out of the Army in April and is going to school FT for cyber security. I plan to return to work after 8 or 12 weeks since I'm the primary income for us. He's more of a home body anyway so would do better staying at home and not going stir crazy.
I'm an art director! Currently taking a quick "bump break" as my computer is frozen . Have been working in the creative/communications industry for 10 years.
I'm the director of operational development for a small company providing Applied Behavior Analysis to kiddos on the autism spectrum. I've been in the field for 10 years and don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
I'm a project coordinator for a contract research organization in the pharmaceutical field. Got my start as as scientist in the lab but migrated over to the office side for better work/life balance in anticipation of starting a family. Also interviewing for a new position in clinical trial software this week. Nervous to think about taking a new job newly pregnant, but scheduled the interview before I got my BFP.
I'm a Human Resources Generalist Manager for a Steel Manufactuing Plant. I'm planning to go back after this pregnancy but super nervous to be gone for a year!! I also do flower arrangements on the side to fulfill my creative side - probably do that a bit still during my parental leave.

I'm a manager for a big box retail store. I mostly love my job. Retail gets a bad name but I love that it's not a desk job and it's active. Although lately I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.

Prior to September I was a Commercial Insurance Broker but left the industry to spend more time with my family.
My husband is in the oilfield so works away from home for weeks at a time, so it's nice for me to be home with our son more now.
