My mom graduated college with a Horticultural degree. Although, I dont know the details of jobs after that. She used to work at a bank when we first moved here, but gave that up to work at Virginia's Explore Park. Its a historical park that reinacts frontier life in the 17th-19th centuries.
Now she is the site manager of the Narional D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA.
Yea...she got to meet the President, George W. Bush:
Check out all the people who came to see the president

Mine has her own cleaning business. Shes retired (worked 30 years in a factory) and its basically just enough to keep her from getting bored, plus it gives her a little extra spending money.

My mom is a stay at home mom. Prior to that, she worked for the phone company(Mountain Bell back then), and was also a secretary at an Engineering firm.
Her typing skills came in handy back when I was in school.
Now she takes care of my 7 year old daughter while I am at work. It is so much nicer than daycare, not only because of the price(free), but also Mom helps out with the homework, etc.

My mother worked the nightshift for more than 20 years as a nurse's aide at the county hospital, raised three kids, had a huge house to maintain, and helped out my dad whenever she could find the time, which was often, because she made time to do it. She retired about 5 years ago from the hospital, and now she helps take care of my grandad. She still keeps up her house, watches my neice and nephew, and raises a huge garden.

My mom takes care of my dad now (disabled vet) but years ago when they first met mom worked for the FBI as a secretary. She has a personalized, signed letter from J. Edgar Hoover himself congratulating her on getting married to a "fine upstanding young american" (my dad was in the service at that time).
