For all the working woman here !!

So far you three have very impressive positions.

I drive a school bus for grades Kindergarten through 12th. I like the hours really well, 90 minutes in the morning and 90 minutes in the afternoon. The insurance is fantastic.

I use to be an administrative assistant for the SWCD (Soil & Water Conservation District) in our county. Before that I was a factory worker at Frito Lay and before that I managed different departments in a retail store.

I'm a student. Maybe one of these days I'll have a real job. LOL

I work as a CNA part-time in a Nursing home. Help the residents get washed, dressed, go to the bathroom, eat, walk and anything else you could think of! At night, I am at school working on getting my nursing degree. All my weekday mornings and afternoons are spent at home with my daughter.

I'm an undercover spy for the CIA. I would tell you about some of our operations but they're top secret. Actually, I'm not allowed to talk about my job at all but we have many things taking place overseas--------Just kidding!!! I bet that I had ya' goin' didn't I? I'm really just a stay-at-home mom who helps her husband out by driving the tractor and combine once in a while!!!! Mostly, I'm just home!!!

I kinda covered this in another thread, but I'm a mechanical engineer working in industrial sales. (Tiramisu, one of my customers is FMC Technologies. Small world. Someone else in our company calls on ExxonMobile. Actually your contract is with one of our nasty competitors. ) I sell valves mostly to petrochemical and power plants in South Texas. I'm sales manager at a small branch with inventory and sales personnel and spend a lot of time on the road, but seldom ever overnight. We are extremely busy at the moment, setting sales records for our branch. Which is wonderful since part of my compensation, as I've said before, is commission based. Like Haley and Lindsey, I work in a man's world and enjoy the challenges. It can be a cut-throat business. My hubby says he could not deal with the level of competition that I do, and with the amount of rejection that sometimes is just part of the game.

Hubby is a successful custom home builder & has plenty of challenges of his own.

Wow, what a life of service, Pearl. I could never do your job, but do envy the people who can, just a bit.

Thanks Haley!! There are moments when I think it's time to change jobs, but I really do enjoy the kids for the most part. There are a few that I would like to lose along the way...LOL...but it's really not bad at all.

The hours can't be beat and like I said the insurance is great, plus...I have summers off...yay!!!
