I am still employed but on a casual list. I only have to work one day a year to keep my seniority. If another job pops up that pays really well then I may consider going back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-iswas-your-profession/page/2#post-1550111 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 08:38:33 +0000 nicoleannette 1550111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a hairstylist before baby and continued to do hair part time after her.

After my 1 year mat leave I'll probably work a few evenings a week at an inbound call centre like I did between mat leave 1 and 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-iswas-your-profession/page/2#post-1530047 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 14:25:42 +0000 Jenn23 1530047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked in marketing and would like to return to that field in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-iswas-your-profession/page/2#post-1530014 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 14:12:17 +0000 JessKas 1530014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a personal chef and nanny.

I don't plan on going back though. I have been taking some writing classes. It would be a dream to become and author but the daunting task of getting published has me a bit scared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-iswas-your-profession/page/2#post-1529951 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 13:54:58 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 1529951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lawyer (I was working for an escrow/title company). I don't miss it!</p> <p>If I go back into law, I want to do something I really care about and that fits my abilities and personality better. I could see working for an advocacy organization or as a law clerk. I love to research and write, but dealing with lots of clients/emails/phone calls stresses me out. </p> <p>But I'm kind of hoping my chef brother will open a restaurant and I can work with him in some capacity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-iswas-your-profession/page/2#post-1529921 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 13:45:24 +0000 illumina 1529921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an accountant.

It is worthless without a MA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-iswas-your-profession#post-1527856 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 20:28:24 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1527856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in public relations for a large hospital network.
