AmyZinNC · 01-26-2006, 04:55 PM

Ive been a stay at home mom for almost 7 years now!

I worked 4 years in a day care...then i worked as a medical secretary for a few years.

My youngest is home 3 days a week, so Im still here for him.
I try to stay active in my 1st graders school. My youngest will start kindergarten in august, and I will have to go back to work. I really need to go now..but not just to pay for chid care.

It scares me! I wish to god I could work from home, data entry or something like that, but that is SO hard to find!

But anyway..Im a stay at home mom!

I am a stay at home mom and Sales Director with Mary Kay. I really enjoy being able to be home with my kids, but sometimes I do wish that I worked outside of the home. Sometimes that kids can get a little stressful especially in light of the whole moving situation right now...

I'm a producer for a local CBS affiliate. Lots of exciting days! The bad things is that I can never take lunch breaks...

simonandhallie · 01-26-2006, 05:17 PM

I teach Professional Development at an Engineering College (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute). I teach sophomore and senior students communication, ethics, organizational culture, MBTI, team skills, etc. I teach required courses so they aren't always excited about class

I teach Tuesday and Wed. and the other days do training for faculty/staff and student clubs!

Before this I taught Public Speaking, Gender Communication and Interpersonal Communication at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Before that I was an aesthetician (licensed in the state of AK) in a salon doing make-up, facials, pedicures/manicures, and body waxing.

Another nurse here! I am currently the VP of Clinical Services for a small chain of nursing homes, I specialize in Quality Improvement and am working on certification for Legal Medical Consultant. I love working with my elderly residents,....lol, I went into nursing home work for a break from the hospital where I worked on cardiac and dialysis unit. It definitely hasn't been a break but I do enjoy it most of the time...except when the government continues to tamper with things saying they are making it better! Biggest joke of the century!
Anyway, I also dabble in Mary Kay. I used to be more active but since I have started traveling so much I don't get a chance to do much with it anymore.

OK I think I have the worst job! I am a manager at a local gas station here in town!!!

I do have fun working there though b/c it is such a small town everyone knows everyone! Before I got preggo I was going to school for nuclear medicine but the school sucked!!! So I am thinking about taking Medical Transcription online so I don't have to worry about a babysitter for my baby! Does anyone know anything about medical transcription?

My stepsister does medical transcription at home. She picks up her work from local physicians and testing facilities and is able to stay at home with her kids. It has worked out well for her. Good luck!

My2Furbabies · 01-26-2006, 06:14 PM

That is awesome!!! Thanks for the info!

linz06 · 01-26-2006, 06:28 PM

I'm a civil engineering technician... which isn't as awesome as it sounds! I just spent 8 months working for a consulting firm, going out to construction sites and testing concrete and soil densities and doing specialized lab testing. It's strenuous and definitely not fun

I'm back at school now to be a technologist after 12 months, and then I hope I can head back for 2 years to get a civil engineering degree and have an office job!

Kari · 01-26-2006, 06:33 PM

I used to work at a gas station and i love it and here in KC i now the managers make very decent money!

But I get great insurance and I get to wear jeans all summer AND the one perk is that I get to order everything - which I try to think of as SHOPPING! I got my degree in Business/MIS (Info systems) and then with the tech bubble burst I couldn't find a job in that field. Kinda a bummer. I'm good at the financial stuff but that doesn't take up much of my day...

I'm an Executive Assistant (back in the day we were called secretaries!) And have been wanting to leave the corporate world and work for a school. But I want summers and holidays off!! My girlfriend just started working for a Board of Education, and she gets all the time off that they kids do. That's what sounded so appealing to me.

But you guys have to work in the summer???

LaviniaHyacynth · 01-26-2006, 06:51 PM

I am the mom to a wonderful human daughter and one fuzzy one and I am an artist.I work at home in a studio.I love what I do but sometimes I crave being around people.I am also the artist in residence in a local business in my town. What this means is I go to the shop which happens to have 15ft windows on a corner thus GREAT light and work on my paintings. If anyone should want to talk about what I am doing or ask questions I am available.I love doing this. When not painting I sit on the Advisory Board of Directors of the School of the Arts at our local university and facilitate dicussion groups for a group called Conversations on Race.

Patti · 01-26-2006, 06:55 PM

I was a Director of a group Health Claims Department for an Insurance company for 33 years until they eliminated my position last year. New management called me in 1 day and said your position has been eliminated and you will be retiring at the end of the month (2 weeks away). I was 52 years old! So I have been enjoying my retirement butmy income was cut to literally 1/4 of what I was making. But I love not working and I can always get a job when I need to.
