I’ve got to say the job I do now, working at home for a health insurance company. I have been with them for 20 + years. They have been really accommodating. I have been able to contribute to the family income, stay at home with my son and still feel productive and have a sense of self identity. I have been able to balance my life and I thank God for it. I have gone to college and my company has helped pay for it. I take pride in the work I do for them and the women who work for them are great. It’s a good gig. Also,I get to read and contribute opinions to WOW. I learn a lot from the women on this site, you are all very cool. (and the men)

The job/work I enjoyed most in my life was associated with a non-profit art gallery in California. At one point I was “Exhibibition Chair” which involved working with a commitee to select upcoming art shows from submitted artist’s slides. My favorite project was inviting a well known woman artist to exhibit and coordinating with a museum to use their space and mailing list for a presentation and discussion of her work. The artist was a friend of a friend and this contact led to association with her. I was deeply involved with the gallery showings, right down to mopping the floor before receptions. Pay? not a penny. My payment was in personal satisfaction.

I agree with Frank that teaching children is a blast! I taught art in Kansas City for a few years at the African American studies school. I loved it but left to get my Masters in counseling. The job I love is doing ART! I recently got invited to do 5 large panels in the Youzeum (interactive science museum). That was fun and it’s permanent.
