There's a great big beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of every day... there's a great big beautiful tom
What field and what kind of research?
I work at a Big 12 University in research administration, so I deal with "your kind" all day long!
What type of work do you currently do?
How many hours a week do you spend *working*? Right now the daycare is drop-in/part-time and varies, but when school starts my days will be 7:30-5:30 M-F, 50 hours a week. The consultant work is more of a hobby at this point and I mostly just do orders for family and friends so I'm not out of the house much with that. I'd say 5 hours a month is a lot for right now. When dh is home more consistently I have more time to do the home parties.
If you sah, what type of work did you do prior to sahing? I used to manage a free-standing Birth Center. Prior to that, I did medical billing in a billing office for 5 years, and prior to that I worked in banking for about 5 years.
Do you have a degree in your field, or other? No. But I plan to return to school to get my RN and eventually, someday, become a CNM.
How many years have you been in this profession? I did Navy Family Childcare for a little over 2 years, and I've had my current State license for a year.
Do you consider the work you do a career? It can be, but not for me.
Is your job very social, or somewhat isolated? Very social with the 1-5 crowd, rather isolated from adults :)
If you're a sahm, what types of things do you do for socialization (outside of the kids)? Well, I suppose by the definition I'm *not* a sahm, but I get my socialization from my Church and related church activities, from the parents of my daycare kids (who are friends and/or family), my volunteer work with youth soccer and the teen group I advise (socialization is with the kids' parents, not the kids!), and my MOPs group. Often several of us with get together with our spouses for a night out.
Anything you want to add concerning your work, profession, or career? I really miss the action surrounding the Birth Center and look forward to doing the patient care side of it rather than the business side!
