I'll start . . . .
I am a SAHM. My husband is a production supervisor with a poultry company. He supervises the shipping department and one of the product processing lines and its employees. We've had these jobs for a little over 2 years.
We worked our way through college as a real estate agent/office manager (me) and a police officer (him). We did those jobs for 5 yrs (me) and 7 yrs (him).
That's us!

Just curious Rachel, why did he quit the force? and Zippy why did hubby leave engineering?
I am a SAHM but I was a teacher before that. And while in Uni I worked as a checkout chick as we call them here, I was the supervisor of the checkout area on the weekends too.
Hubby is a trained mechanic, he has also done some builders labouring work, he is working as a diesl mechanic for a mining company.

It's just not what he felt the Lord had in store for him permanantly. He couldn't support our family on the pay and the politics involved were sadly ridiculous. He wanted to obtain his business degree and get into some kind of agri-business.

I have worked as a:
- Daycare Worker
- Substitute Teacher (this was at the same school I worked at doing daycare. Sometimes if they needed me to I would substitute teach during school hours)
- Receptionist at a law firm
- Receptionist for a mortgage broker - though I learned nothing while there, it paid the bills though
- Now I am a SAHM/SAHW
Hubby is a computer engineer who does contracting for the air force base in our community.

My husband is a building contractor. He and his father are partners in their business and build mostly custom homes. He's been in the field since highs school, so for a very long time now!
I was a dental assistant briefly, then became a stay at home mom when my kids were born. I did daycare in my home for awhile too.
Now that the kids are on their own, I'm back in school and nearly done with my bachelors in psychology. I'll start grad school next year and get my masters in counseling, with a child emphasis.

Zippy why did hubby leave engineering?
Partially due to pay (an uneducated programer makes more than a Masters carrying Engineer,) partially due to interests changing, and partially to work with newer technology.

My official job description would take up too much space, so let's just sum it up this way ... I'm a mom! (Nose wiper, bum cleaner, maid, chef, chauffeur, etc)
Prior to momhood, I ...
Taught music in my house (piano and vocal)
Worked in the shoe department at Sears
Babysat a LOT
Worked as a caregiver for disabled students during the summer
Was a substitute music teacher in my former highschool
Cut grass in highschool
***I NEVER had a paper route or sold lemonade at a roadside stand!***
After becoming a mom, if dh wasn't working, I put in a few hours here and there tutoring kids ... and when dd was in a private school, I taught there for 3 months when the grade 5/6 teacher got a nasty concussion and had to be off work for the remainder of the school year -- so taught 5/6, plus taught 7/8 French and was the band director fpr grades 7-10.

My dad is a carpenter/contractor, as are most of my uncles. Its the family trade- my dad started working summers when he was probably about 14.
Brandy- that is a cool job your hubby has! How did he break into the field?
I work in early intervention, which means I travel from house to house working with families who have kids ages 0-3 who are at risk or have developmental delays. I adore my job, although I would give it up (or go to part time) in a heartbeat to be a SAHM (I don't have kids ATM).
Prior to that I:
Respite worker for a 9 y/o with autism- I did this during the summers when I was in college
Worked in my university library
Worked in alumni relations- I called alumni trying to get them to donate to the school. Actually it was fun to talk to people.
Taught 1st grade
Taught in a self-contained special ed classroom
My hubby is in school working on an accounting degree. He hopefully has about 2.5 years left until he gets his BA.

My husband is a carpenter and owns his own business. He's a contractor doing mostly home improvements/remodeling at this point, and some new construction. We started the business about a year ago, and man has the Lord provided! Prior to that he was a lead carpenter doing rough framing for about 5 years.
I am a registered nurse- medical/surgical/pediatrics. I do love my job. Of course I have my days, but I feel so blessed to have a job that is also truly my calling and ministry. Once the baby comes I will work part time and be home the rest. I am sooo blessed to have a job with such flexibility to be able to mostly be home, and continue my ministry as well. I have also worked at JCPenny, bank teller, CNA, and nurse intern.
