I know some of us worked outside the home prior to staying home and I'm curious as to what we all did! And, for those of you who work-at-home, what do you do?

I was a morning tv anchor.

I was a software engineer before I was a SAHM.

I was an assistant project manager at an Architecture firm.

I basically took care of all the non-design aspects of various projects...billing/invoicing, contracts, budgets, schedules, editing proposals/letters/specifications, planning meetings etc. It was pretty boring!

I was an onsite staffing resource specialist.

I was a legal secretary.

Okay, so far I win, I must've had the most boring job in the world...I worked in the Fed. Gov't in the disability department, reading applications to determine who qualified for disability pensions. Sad too. :blue:

I went to college before staying at home. The only job I've ever had was September-November 2000 part time at a Rite Aid...

I worked in estimating at a construction company (my dad's)

preschool teacher at a daycare

I worked at the circulation desk at the library and was going to school full time.

I helped run a retreat center and worked in marketing in two local dot coms. Now, I work at home, in wedding "baby" retail, as well as teaching baby signing classes.

I was a teacher.

I was an executive assistant for the country's largest waste industry companies.

I was a toddler & preschool teacher. Before that, I was a vocational counselor & counselor for autistic adults at a residential treatment center.

I worked in accounting at a small oil & gas company... :rolleyes:

I was the assistant director at a child care center.

I was the Assistant Director of Admission at a highly selective New England college. (traveled to recruit students, interviewed students, read applications...and decided who we should admit and who we should deny)

I was a patient care assistant in a hospital.

I was a second grade teacher.

I think my official title was Special Projects Manager for eCommerce - NAFTA CE. Basically, I coordinated the efforts of the Consumer Electronics division of a multinational company to make the website work to everyone's advantage. What I actually did was sit in on alot of meetings and tell people what we couldn & couldn't do because of the technical infrastructure that was out of my control.

I was a Registered Nurse on a general surgery unit of a small hospital that recently got shut down due to government healthcare cutbacks. :(

I was the Director of Human Resources and Office Administration for the state's largest commercial real estate firm. The HR part I loved. The other part was being a boss for a bunch of office admin people (who couldnt report to the people they supported b/c they were real estate brokers, who arent technically employees), and that part sucked ass.

and that part sucked ass.
YOU KILL ME KARRI!!! :rotflmao:

Sandy

I was a Paramedic and ambulance/helicopter dispacther.

I was a paralegal (civil litigation, and of all things, the client I was working on was Philip Morris :rolleyes: If you know about my lung issues, you know why this is ironic...).

I was a pre-k teacher

My official title was Society Concierge. Sound fancy huh, not really. Basically, I worked for a private club providing members access to premium seating to sporting events, concerts, broadway shows, etc. Also, booking golf tee times. The part I really disliked was selling memberships. I'm not very good at sales. Oh, and the management "sucked ass" big time. That was one of the biggest reasons I decided not to return. I loved my Members though and was a little sad not to be able to talk to them anymore.

I was a teacher's assistant for special education-Life Skills, Autism, and Severe and Profound.

I swear I had posted in here...!
I was an interior designer/account manager for an office furniture dealership. So basically I designed offices and sold office furniture. It was fun most of the time but the sales part was pretty sucky.

I was a music teacher.

Paralegal. Before that, law student & major electronics retailer disgruntled employee :biggrin:

I was a Senior Accountant for a major student loan servicer. I hated my job and won't be going back to accounting when I do go back to work.

I work as a technical support specialist, and I will SAH when I have this baby in February.

I was a Reference Librarian.

Hmmm...I thought I posted here. I was a "customer service representitive" (in other words, a cashier :lol: ). I can't believe I haven't worked for 3 years.

FOr a short time i was a toddler/pre-school teacher. Now I'm a scrapbooking instructor with a company. I love being able to work from home.

I was a medical receptionist/biller for an ophthlmology office. :boring:

Accountant. Taxes during tax season and the rest I did auditing for not-for profit agencies and local government. I'm sure everyone loved me. :rolleyes:

Travel consultant.
