[quote=Anonymous]My mother, until I was around 8 years old, "stayed at home" in the traditional working class sense, which means she worked plenty of odd jobs and just took us with her.  Bookkeeping and wallpaper hanging (it was the 80s!) mostly.  She had an AA in accounting.

When I was 8, she got a job as a teacher's aide in the school system.  It was part time, so she didn't need childcare for us, and she made 11K per year.  Eventually she opened her own small tax prep business, but passed away a couple of years later.  No idea how much she made from that.

My father was a firefighter for the federal government during the latter part of my childhood; earlier he was a firefighter at the local level.  My sense is that his last couple of years of working, he made around 50K, as that number sounds vaguely familiar from college financial aid forms.  I remember he was at 36K per year for a long while, just remember that number being mentioned.  This was in the 80s and 90s, he retired in the late 1990s.  [/quote]
