I was a co-ordinator (baby sitter if felt at times...) for a company that repaired government / military helicopters for Canada & USA. At times there were other countries that we worked on, but mostly Canada & USA. It was a great job, I loved it. If I had been single, it would have been better!!! The building I worked in had 350 men, and 5 ladies.

What did you do???

(Good question by the way.)

I worked in various communications/training positions for a Fortune 500 company. I was there for 12 years and did things like writing, editing, curriculum development, change management, video production, etc.

I was in retail for 3 years. I decided to stay at home cause DH was away almost 4 months at a time and only home a few weeks.

Didn't want my son to be all alone in daycare thinking both his parents are leaving him. I have been a SAHM since and I love it.

I also have always been a stay at home mom. My husband and I got married right out of High School. I have done child care and some computer typing work from home but have always been home with the kids.

Mostly go to school! I went to university then college and had been working for 2 weeks as a medical lab technologist when I found out I was pregnant. I work night shift (ick) till I had DS. I went back for 12 weeks (8-4 shift) last summer. I hope they don't call me this summer!

I was going to school (high school) when I found out I was pregnant with my first. When my DD and I lived on our own, I waited tables until I met DH (for about a year). I have not really had a job since then (I did work a couple parttime jobs to help us out of a bind once in awhile).
