5. What's the best part of what you do? Helping children.
6. Do you have plans to do something else down the road? Not at this time. Spent too much money and time to change now.
7. How did you get your present job? If you are a stay at home mom, how long did you need to plan that move? Applied for it just like everyone else. Having the master's degree helps.
8. Did your parents influence your choices of jobs over the years? Nope. My father told me that my bachelor's degree and a dime would get me a cup of coffee. When I got my Master's degree, he asked me if I realized what kind of people I'd be working with. My mother has been absent since birth, physically since I was 10.
