Well my job in the "real world" was a zookeeper, at the Kansas City Zoo, I worked there for five years, worked with tons of different stuff, from Cheetah's to Chimpanzee's, mainly worked in the bird dept, they are the most challenging animals and the most unappreciated, training the chimpanzee's was pretty cool though. I thought that that was the hardest most underpaid job out there, After five years I was making a whopping 12.20 an hour. BUT now I realize that being a SAHM or SAHD is the absolute HARDEST job in the world, not necessarily physically hard, but mentally very very tough, and exhausting, But it is the most important job and I am very happy that my husband works hard and makes enough money that I can stay at home with the twins.
