Single parents, what is your career?

[Anonymous]

I’m an attorney at a big firm. My position is not client facing. I make $250 (not a partner) and work remote whenever I want.

It took me 16 years to get this job (in addition to lots of schooling and debt). So not a great career move opportunity

I’ve tried getting some tutoring gigs but I work in a Tile One school so no leads there. So do my friends who are teachers. I’ve placed online and at places like the library but haven’t gotten much response (just a lot of spam and ads from tutoring companies).

Your post added nothing to this thread. Begone.

I'm an analyst, for the Feds. I'm very much a single parent despite my child's father being involved. He lives in another state, and cannot keep the kid while I travel (although please stop the "you're not a single parent because you're not a SOLO parent" - it's bs and screams "my life is worse than yours so you must have it easy"), and I have zero helpful family in the area.

Anyway, I make about $70, and I get about $10k in support, and it feels like plenty.
