What do you do for a Living?

[Pin Wizard]

I must ask myself a form of that question 50 times a week. What do I want to do??????????????????? I better make up my mind soon, because I only have a couple basic courses left to take in school. Until last year, I worked at a hospital in Medical Staff Services for 8 years. I got bored and need a career that pays better. So I've been back at school for 10 months. I thought I would like to teach between 2nd and 4th grades. I'm not so sure now. What teachers make for a starting salary, I was basically making in the job I just left. I wish someone could point me in a direction and I'd just go. LOL!

I work at a fabulous nursery/garden center. I work in the Patio department and am in charge of grills and spas. I really love my job....good, fun people and working for a family-owned business is so much nicer than working for a corporation (IMO). I worked for Disney for 8 years, and this is just so much more relaxed (I guess you could say.)

So are DW and I -- we even met in Principles of Accounting class in college! Difference is, I got out of the bean counting business quickly, while DW is still there! She's a Senior Audit Manager with a Big 4 (or as they call it -- the Final Four) firm.

I have my dream jobs! After years of riding a desk, I traded it all in for KIDS! When my oldest started school I started working part-time as a fitness instructor. Thru the grapevine, word got out that I love kids and art, so my fitness boss used her connections to get me a job teaching preschool art programs. I love yoga and practiced on and off for years. I was offered teacher training and jumped on it, so now I also teach yoga. I never get bored because I teach so many different classes. My classes are 60-90 minutes. I teach three preschool art classes a week (mornings) while ds is in preschool across the hall from my classroom and dd is in grade 4. I teach yoga three nights a week (twice of Thurs) and a step class on Monday nights after a yoga class (I got that in the wrong order!). I also teach adult and kid workshops in art and travel ~ those are one day classes. I work freelance too. I do speaking engagments on a variety of topics. My freelance is word of month ~ I actually have to turn down work. My priority is my family so I try to keep my work (if you want to call it that, it's so much fun, it's not like work) to a manageable minimum. When ds is in grade 1, I'll work more hours. Right now, 8 classes a week and workshops and freelance is perfect. I take off the summer to be with my kids. I still work my evening classes, just none in the daytime. I also volunteer at both my kids schools. It's an awesome job! I have paid for two Disney trips with my part time money. It's a little sad, but my yoga business soared after 9/11. The good news is, I really think I am helping people relax, at least for a few hours a week. So, that's what I do when I'm not playing with kids or on the computer! LOL! S
