I've got a Computer Science/Math degree with secondary education certificate (I could teach if I wanted to). Wanted to major in history or philosophy but needed to get a degree and graduate and make some money. Spent many years as a software analyst and then went into training. Was building a business in public speaking (self esteem) when, Surprise!, Pud came along. Now, I figure I just work for him.

I always say that kids are the toughest bosses in the world: in any other job, you take bathroom breaks, regular showers and a full night's sleep for granted; not so with parenting!

My money making job is as a computer programmer/analyst, with my specialty being DB2/COBOL on the mainframe. I've done a lot other languages but found my niche in some database design and application programs for the database I helped design. I'm also a cattle farmer and a full time grandma to GS9.

Now I teach a couple of computer classes at a community college to earn extra money for extracurriculars, etc.

Programmer & system admin in the growing niche of business intelligence. At least it was growing last year...DH is a linux admin. We both have degrees in fine art so it was pretty obvious we'd end up in the tech. field.

I'm a retired university professor (cultural history--about as mushy and qualitative as it gets! <smile>); I was also a professional musician "on the side" while I was teaching. I quit work when our eldest son was one; my husband had been able to take a year of parental leave when he was born, but when that was up, neither one of us could face leaving our boy with somebody else, so I came home.
Now I'm homeschooling my three sons, raising chickens and vegetables, doing a lot of knitting and weaving, and pondering writing another book. I published a couple of academic books while I was teaching, but I feel too far removed from that world to do another one, and would like to try something aimed at a more general audience. We'll see!

Okay, Minnie, you sound like the most interesting mom on the planet. Who wouldn't want to be homeschooled by you? Which instrument(s) did you play professionally?

Seablue, you're going to scare her off!!  Minnie, that reminds me of one of my sisters; her family has a big Buster Keaton thing going - no words, but seriously funny/clever stuff! Their 2 dd's are eg++, it's just a riot over there!

I work in public education. Not a teacher, but a bureaucrat.
Used to work in marketing communications for a telecom equipment manufacturer, a tech book publisher, and a software packager. Not all at once.
Before that I was a retail buyer.
Before that I was a manager of technical professionals.
Before that I was a corporate trainer.
Before that I was a technical professional.
Before that I worked in retail.
My degrees are in international relations, computer programming and marketing. I've also studied organizational development and mediation.
My resume is so ADD.
I've liked some of the people I've worked with and some of the places I've worked. But I wouldn't say I've ever found my calling.
