    Best of luck. You may want to start off as a sub. That will get you some contacts with the principals.

    I have my BA in English Literature too! Just a fun-fact...carry on! Lol
    I do a whole lotta nothin'. :laugh: I'm a stay-at-home mom, but I was contemplating the other day that for me, that's a lot different from "housewife." A housewife keeps the house clean AND takes care of the kids, but I pretty much just do the kid stuff. Working on doing better at the house stuff. :wink: When my son goes to preschool next year, I'm contemplating getting my teaching certification (I already have a BA in English literature) so I can get a job when both of the kids are in school full-time. We'll see.

    Yay! :) I don't run into many English nerds. The ones I do find were smart enough to get their teaching certification so they could DO something with their degree. :laugh: Actually, I had planned to go the Ph.D. route, but we got pregnant and I got derailed.

    Thanks for the help! I love hearing about what everyone does! It truly is motivating. I work 36-38 hrs/week in a busy busy ER and keeping my weight goals gets a little difficult at times.

    Right on my mom is a midwife here in the states.

    I am a 19Delta Cav Scout in the US Army. We do RECON and any other detail that could come up. Been deployed 2 times for 27 months in combat. Kicked a few doors, been shot at, hand grenades thrown at me, and hit a few IEDs. It seems like with my job I would be in great shape but dont let the military thing full you.

    When I lived in America I was a mortuary technician, embalmer.

    I live in Norway now with my husband and I'm going to school to learn the language. I would like to continue my job in Norway but they don't embalm people! My future is uncertain because I'm always changing my mind. I want to work on an oil rig as a chef, as a driller, as a housekeeper. I want to teach kindergarten, I want to write a novel, I want to do the translations for subtitles at the TV station, I want to have 8 kids and get our own reality series! :P
