What jobs does your parents work at or if you have a job, where do you work?

My mother is a home maker so she's home 24/7 besides when she has errands to run, bible studies, or other stuff girls do.

My dad is a Firefighter Captain so he's gone one day than is home for two days. On those two days, he runs a self-owned carpet cleaning business. I held him when I don't have classes or tons of homework. At times, like on breaks, we work the entire week cleaning carpet. The pay is very good, good hours, and I get to be one of the men I look up to.

My dad is a trucker. Hauls haz mat. I have drivin with him when he is corrosive, explosive, and radioactive all at once. He mostly hauls radioactive stuff. Not the really hot stuff. Most of it doesn't get out of the barrels.

My mom is a homemaker. But she was a teacher before she had me and my bros. That gave her the tools she needed to homeschool me and my brothers.

Me I help people find games and movies at Hastings.

Additionally, my big brother is a mechanical engineer who just switched to supply chain management within his company, Agilent technologies.

My dad is currently the missions minister at my church and my mom is a teacher assistant. I'm too young to get a nice paying job. I hope to do something over the summer. :sweat:
