Love this thread!
I worked in jr high & high school in the office of my Dad's tool supply business doing accts payable & receivable. In college, I worked in the library shelving books, tutored accounting students & graded tests & papers for the business department. During my college summers, I worked as a temp doing office admin stuff - I actually worked for TaylorMade (the golf club maker) as a temp worker one summer.
My first job out of college was working as a CPA for a major accounting firm doing auditing. It wasn't a super great fit for me and I ended up working for one of their clients as a cost accountant. I worked for them until I had my first son. I was blessed to be a stay at home mom for him and my 3 other kids when they came along - my kids are pretty spread out - my last one went to college in 2023. My husband had/has a very demanding job and didn't have a lot of bandwidth to help me with the kids/house, so it made the most sense for me to be home. I've done some bookkeeping on the side all along and worked for a CPA a few years ago as an assistant.
Now I have one client whose house I drive to twice a month to help her with her bookkeeping. I am also a Bible Study Fellowship administrative leader - I handle the tech for recording our lecture for later broadcast for our satellite groups and do other administrative stuff with a wonderful group of ladies =) Love it!
