I wish I could have selected Other considering how it was defined

 

[lllovell]

What is your current employment classification?

SCHWEET!!! and obviously enjoying it! Even better!

 

[mom2alix]

Hmmm…. What to choose?

Unskilled labor: Got to admit I can’t consider scrubbing bathrooms/floors etc. as skilled labor (now laundry requires some skill)

Skilled laborer : I can change a REALLY MESSY diaper one handed while keeping DS from crawling off with a bare bottom

Education: Everything DS and DD know they learned from me (except the bad stuff, that was ALL Daddy!)

Professional: Family financial planner, top-notch arbitrator "who had it first?", front line emergency medical care. Apparently my kisses magically make boo-boos all better .

Public Safety: Chief crossing guard (hold Mommy’s hand!) and constantly on the lookout for anyone “off” hanging around the playground. In my luggage-size purse I always carry a first-aid kit, haven’t had to be a firefighter yet, but occasionally we know dinner is done because the smoke alarm goes off!

Office worker: In charge of mail, filing, in charge of all family correspondence. Got to admit I would fire me for the job I do with the filing, it's not my thing.


Technology: Family computer trouble shooter (this includes long-distance phone calls from grandparents who can’t figure out why their printer won’t work, etc.

Entertainment: The Wiggles have nothing on me (except talent)! I sing (badly), I dance (embarrassingly) and tell endless knock-knock jokes. Lucky me, my audience loves my work!

In other words: I'm a mom. I guess I could have picked Other, but the wealthy part threw me. I couldn't pick self-employed since I have 2 rather demanding "bosses", and Unemployed is DEFINITELY not the right description

 

[Deb & Bill]

Engineer

 

[spiceycat]

momalix - boy you could also add comedy and writing!!!

that is the best description of a mother's job I have ever seem.

 

[Dr. David Q. Dawson]

Would Beer Tester fall under "Professional"? Not sure.

 

[wtpclc]

momalix - I second what spiceycat said!! Thanks for the laugh!

 

[kathleena]

I checked Other because it's what I aspire to be.

 

[lillasmom]

I added my two cents to the pole, but I aspire to be retired!

Well this is me too!! Since there was no option for CFO.. Chief Family Officier I just went and choose the option that hubby fit under.

 

[Tooneric]

I like what I do for employment,
The financial world's my profession.
But that's not my biggest enjoyment,
Walt Disney World is my obession!

 

[DVC-Don]

Self employed professional. You don't have to call me "Dr." though.

 

[Luigi's Girl]

I checked other (no I'm not fabulously wealthy). I was very surprised not to find the choice of homemaker but, as I continued to read the posts I was happy to see that mom2alix listed my job description perfectly. It's a job I've held for 17 years and a profession I'm glad I chose. Although my salary could've been a little higher, the rewards have made up for it!

[shelleyz]

I picked unemployed but agree with mom2alix and the other homemakers and stay at home moms.

 

[CHOPR]

Perhaps my job dealing with the sc.. of the earth is the reason I love WDW so much. Step in the gates and your in a magical world leaving the real world behind. Of course the smile on the kids faces may have something to do with it.
