Farrar Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Political journalist. Dh summarizes the news for various people, groups and companies, most notably for the president and the White House. He just has a BA. Well, he also has a year of div school, but that's a bit unrelated. ETA: This thread is fascinating. I love how these jobs cross every skill and walk of life and yet homeschooling unites us all. :) Edited April 5, 2012 by farrarwilliams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Dh is a Senior Oracle Database Architect (which means that he designs rather complicated database systems and is an extreme geek) for a large computer services company. Previous to that job he, well, did the same thing for a different, large software company. Before that he had taken a short break from his computer geekiness and was assistant vice-president of a college/seminary...a job he did not like. Oh, he triple majored in college in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Business Administration. He hasn't completed any work towards a master's.

Carrie12345 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I wish I had a short answer. Dh does a lot of different things for a very large company that does a bunch of different things. One day, he's manual labor, the next he's lunching with rich people. His job title is completely non-descript, and I hate writing it on the little lines that come with all sorts of paperwork, lol. He has a BS in a totally unrelated field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeTea Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 MrTea works as a maintenance man for a food manufacturer. He has a highschool diploma, and does continuing education through work that is industry specific. These online classes are optional and done in the computer lab at work while the company pays him overtime wages. The certification he receives through these courses translate to increased wages and the ability to work in the areas that interest him the most. Incredibly, not all his peers take advantage of this opportunity. He just shakes his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
