TL:DR version - I was a molecular biologist. Now I am a SAHM.
DD version - I worked in academic research for 5 years (if you count the 2 years for my masters degree which I do lol). I studied a bacteria in graduate school and a malaria parasite for my big girl job. When we moved for my husband to start residency training I was already pregnant with DS so I didn’t try to find a new job. I’ve been a SAHM for 2 years and I love it. Even though I was working on pathogens with a lot of human significance, it wasn’t translational research. This means that anything I did was soooooo far removed from having any significance other than pushing the frontier of human knowledge forward a millimeter. Which is great. Don’t get me wrong, basic research is very necesary and important. But there is just a lot of failure that comes with research and it takes a toll on you when it feels like you are failing over and over on something that doesn’t seem to matter much. When I fail as a parent (which happens a lot lol) at least I am failing at something important? Gives me more gumption to dust off my boots off and keep going.

city and he’s home Monday and Wednesday so he’s basically a SAHD. He loves it. I’m insanely jealous but it’s what has worked out for us.

I want to go back to school and get some certs and be a Data Analyst, though. I feel like I've missed the boat because I had to drop out before finishing my CS degree (Bad Things happened that were outside of my control), but analysis is absolutely my strength and the thing I enjoy doing the most, so it seems like a good fit for me.

We’re in Canada - the very cold part - so we are limited in what we can grow, and in how long our growing season is, so it’s a fun challenge!
