For a job?
Do you enjoy it?
I work for a telecommunications company, I am now in a support role. I love it!! Bit stressful at the moment but i still enjoy it.
So what about you?

Im thinking of this too nictoddie.
I love my job, and DP hates his, heaps. I would be happy for him to be the SAHD and i go to work fulltime. I earn the same as him, and it means Kylah would have a parent home with her.. Just not sure on how the rest would turn out lol

I work in I.T. My last job before I became pregnant was a systems administrator role for a major bank and insurance company. I have moved to quite a rural area since then but have managed to pick up a few hours per week as a computer technician for a computer repairs/internet business

Part time Optometrist (3 days a week). I love my job! I get to meet all sorts of different people & help them. And there's no after hours stuff-when my day is over I leave it all behind.

I was an IT trainer and support person for legal software, there were things I liked about my job but more things I hated and it was very high stress. At the end of my ML I was expected to go back full time and travel at a days notice for weeks at a time......with a little one I don't think so! plus DH is away all the time with his job so it would never of worked so I am now a SAHM and I LOVE it!

I work for OHbaby! 
Strictly speaking, I'm a journalist, but working as part of a small team I've picked up lots of other useful (and sometimes obscure!) skills along the way. I my job - like lilfatty said, I wouldn't choose to take time away from my kids to do something I didn't enjoy.

I'm a SAHM. I my job!!!
Before Callum I was a kindy/nursery teacher and nanny but I'm not qualified (I was going to be an accountant once  ) so one day I would like to go back to school and get the paperwork so I can teach when I come back home and the kids (that I haven't had yet) are all at school.
That's the plan anyway!

I give away money
I work with scholarships, and I love, love, love it. I get to work with some lovely lovely sponsors who are nice enough to be giving away their own cash to help others out, and I get to give some pretty awesome people a real hand. It would be hard not to like (although it's hard work, too).

I know exactly what you mean!
I am a SAHM now but I was Logistics Planner for a winery. There were bad points to it but mostly I enjoyed it and often miss it. Am thinking to see if I can do some work from home for them next year once Jack is at kindy and if Ben's routine co-operates
