what does everyone do for a living?

[allaboutmm]

For the past 13 years I have been a pre-school teacher, and my DH (Grumpytoo) is an electronic engineer. We have a "mouse jar" that we fill with any extra change we find or if we get b'day $ etc......Also when booking the trip we put it on the Disney visa ( it's really the only time we use it) so that we get the Disney $ and its interest free for 6 mo, then just pay it off right away.

 

[clemsondisneyfan]

I am a SAHM to 2 school age boys. My DH just got his Ph.D. in Bioengineering (whoo hoo...it has been a long 5 years!) and manages a BioE firm.

He is a bigger Disney fan than I am and talked me into next week's trip while we were there last Feb.

So, we are off again in a few days. Can't wait!

I am thinking I should get a part time job....then maybe we can go 2 times a year in addition to our other smaller vacations.

We have been going since 2003 (when we thought DD was old enough to apprediate it at 8 years old; she did) and we make this our special family Christmas gift.

See you at WDW/CSR in April!

Because it 's so far away we can't afford to go every year never mind twice a year. But we do love WDW when we get there.

Since July, I am a part-time Insurance agent and currently mom and dad to my DS8. My DH is in the Air Force and is currently in Iraq.

We just had our first trip this past July and hope to make it back real soon. Actually, we are hoping to get to move to a base closer to Disney World so we can go more often and not have to worry about the cost of airfare.

What a fun thread!!

I am a former PSR for a major financial processing company(worked with ATM card, debit card, and ATM customers) , a current SAHM (since 1998) and studying for my real estate salesperson license. My DH is a funeral director.

As a child we only took family vacations to see my grandparents who lived in PA and we stopped at EVERY HISTORICAL MARKER between SC and PA (which is ALOT) and I vowed that I would not do the same to my family. We took our first family trip to WDW last May and now we are hooked and going again in April. Next year we plan to take a year off from WDW and probably go cheap to Myrtle Beach using HH points for the hotel. After that....back to the mouse!

I am a Human Resources professional at a rubber manufacturing company. My DH owns his own HVACR business. We have a DS10, DS8 and DS5. My DM is our Dis planner..she's the one that had the idea to take the whole family in 2004. I didn't think we could afford it, but with her planning we were able to. So, now we've been planning trips ever since! We save, save, save to go...no debt.

Fascinating to read about what everyone does for a living! Great thread!!

I work for the Federal Government as a program analyst and my DH is a "SAHD" (although we don't have any 2-legged kids, we do have two 4-legged kids). Actually he was working with his brother for a while until that didn't work out and the business failed (because of my BIL, but that is a LONG story) and then my dad moved in with us so DH was the caregiver. Now dad has moved into an assisted living place and DH is looking for part-time work (unfortunately being over 50 it hasn't been easy for him).

Anyway, we just started going to WDW (last year we did 2 trips and became DVC members too). We're hoping to go at least once a year (twice if I can save my leave to have two vacations).

DH & I are planning on going in May; and then I'm planning a girls' weekend in November. Can't wait!!
