So, what is your job?

LOVE the diversity of chicken people. The "what religion are you?" thread has been very interesting, so I thought it might be fun to find out what people do for a living. I'm betting we've got a little bit of everything out there.

I personally am a teacher. I've taught all grades preschool through 6th, and I now teach 5th and 6th grade math and science. I'm also a mom, so I pretty much teach all the time!

I am busily retired.

For a period of time I was a supervisor in a privately owned display garden. The remainder of my professional career was spent as the manager of a laboratory animal colony.

In my family my husband is the teacher. He teaches high school but what he really wants are kids your age. I am just Mom. I have fully dedicated to rearing my toddler. I am a proud homemaker!

I've been a whole host of things from caretaker of an exotic bird sanctuary, alcohol and drug educator, and an EMT. Most of those were throughout my college career though! I have two days left at my job as an EMT and then I'm shipping off to start veterinary school. The plan is to eventually graduate as a doctor! Lol I plan to work with birds (poultry and parrots) and other exotics.

Never, EVER "just" a mom!!! Mom and Dad are the most important jobs in the world, and no one can do it better than you.

I am mostly a SAHM, but also serve in the Coast Guard Reserves. I am prior active duty and went to the reserve because of how tough it is to raise a family with two active duty parents. I also am a full-time online student at Penn State in their Energy and Sustainability Policy program.
