[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love to know of jobs which allow you to work 8/9-2/3 and only when your kids are in school.  Aside from teaching or part time admin I can't think of anything.

I'd agree with you that it is selfish for someone to fritter away money all day so their kids have to take out college loans, but don't pretend there are tons of jobs with hours that align with parents who have chosen to make themselves available when their kids are out of school.  [/quote]

When my kids were in elementary school, I worked those part-time hours in an architecture firm.  Dropped off the kids, was in the office early, left at 2pm to pick them up.  As they aged into middle school I left the office at 4pm.  Now they are in high school and I leave at 530pm and pick up the slack remotely after dinner.  
These types of professions and positions do exist.  I cost the firm less because I didn't need any benefits so it was a bit of financial bonus for them to hire someone like me back when my hours were truly part-time.[/quote]

What was your position with them? [/quote]
