I am a stay at home mom right now, but my other half runs his own business selling LED's and HIDS, He just only begun this a few months back and has gotten really good responses at this. We use to sell on ebay and never really made a whole lot, the odd time you would sell the odd Collectible but found it was expensive and really a waste of time. What do you do? Do you enjoy the work you do?
Look forward hearing from you =)

I am a stay at home mom too and I love it so much, my hubby works at the rail road and I have to say they pay good because we just got are first house we only been here for one year and I was a stay at home mom then two. But I like to stay at home with my kids but I do wish I could start my own business and make a little more money on the side it would help us a lot. If I could start my on business and make the money I want I could redo my new house somethings I don't like but the stuff I don't like is not to big, I am going to try and find away to do this someday.

My husband and I both write for a living. He's now retired form his job as an I T manager, and I am on disability because of my poor vision. We both have books published. He has a few sci-fi novels, and I have a cookbook of Danish recipes. We also earn some money from the things we do on line, like MyLot, and other paid sites.

i'm an online writer and my husband is an engineer in a large multinational company. i can actually quit work because his salary can sustain our family but i'm afraid to stop working. if something happens to my husband or to our relationship, i would at least still be able to support myself and my kid. the downside to this though is that our child doesn't seem to get the right amount of attention and guidance she should be getting

Yes, for the most point, I do like my job! I work at a small college as a dishwasher. I do more then that! I sometimes cook, some times I work in the salad department,help serve stundent during dinner and I'm in charge of the student workers who work in the dishroom. I really like the job when I meet and work with students from around the USA and the world! I learn about other countries and cultures! I love that! I also work 6 morning a week at a horse stable before I go to my full-time job! I do this to work my horses board off. I've always loved horses and really enjoy! I do the am feedings the days I work out there. It also keeps me busy! If I wasn't able to feed at the stable I'd go nuts before work do to boredom!

I am a college professor. I currently also sell on e-bay and do a lot of paid review writing. I teach 40% of my classes online and 60% on campus in a face-to-face format. My goal is to work entirely from home, teaching from 10 - 15 classes online per term. It is a lot, but when you teach several of the same thing, you can streamline pretty quickly.

I am currently a contractor in financial operations at an investment bank. It's very far from where I saw myself ending up, as I've always wanted to be a writer! I enjoy it, but don't necessarily plan on doing this forever.

I work as a senior staff in a hotel.
Sometimes it is fun,we have a lot of workmates here,we can chat,we can play,once we are not busy,but once we are busy,we need to work ,even it is public holiday,evenit's Chirstmas,so sometimes I just fed up with my work.
Honestly speaking,I don't like this job at all.
But,as you say,I do this as a living,I need to raise me up,then talk about my dreams !

I was a legal assistant for over 30 years, but nine months ago decided to start my own construction/renovation business. My hubby is the family contractor, and we have four employees now. I enjoy working for myself, and the fact that I can work from home. It's hard work and long hours, and the money situation can be a little tight, but hopefully over the next few months we will actually begin to see a profit! I'm only sorry that we didn't start doing this sooner.
