Re: How many of you are full time with Pampered Chef or part time with a full time joLynda & Julie you two sound like me, a PTimer. I've always said my 'goal' is 2 shows a month and some months that does not happen. There are times I think it is really not worth it because I put more $ into this business than make and I don't really reap the benefit of the discounts too often because I don't have the extra cash. I love my day job though, teach art is my passion.
 
Re: How many of you are full time with Pampered Chef or part time with a full time joI work at a financial institution full-time, and do PC part-time. 2-4 shows a month is my max. I started PC when I was home with my kids and did 4-6 shows a month then, but our family situation changed (hubby works from home, no benefits), so I had to go back to work for the benefits, but still needed my FT income plus my PC income (and I love it, too!). I don't know how I do it, but I do both jobs, plus the hardest job of all, MOM! :)
 
Re: How many of you are full time with Pampered Chef or part time with a full time joI work full time in a local goverment office, I also contract my time out part time to other local offices in our county doing part time work for them. PC right now I'm going to say is hobby. I hold 1-2 shows a month, although I would like closer to 4 cooking shows with some catalogs thrown in there. For a while I was working full time with 2 part time jobs, plus some contracting work, that was before PC though. I was finding that I was not able to take on all of the hours and still be able to take care of things at home. My BF sometimes works 60-80 hours a week between his full time job and his business. It was easier for me to give up my 2 part time jobs to beable to be home with the kids. Besides, he makes way more money then I do LOL!
 
Re: How many of you are full time with Pampered Chef or part time with a full time joI work full time as a staff pharmacist at our local hospital. I'm also a PC Director. I've learned that I cannot physically do shows back-to-back (eg. Mon and Tues), but in my previous life I thought 2 shows per week would be great. (BTW, my Sr Dr says 2 shows/wk is considered full time with PC)

Now, being by myself for the first time ever, I'm trying to decide just how many shows I really want to do. I'm really enjoying the solitude of free evenings and the spiritual growth that seems to be springing from them. But that would go in another thread, wouldn't it!

With my recent move, I haven't had a live show since October, except for my Open House I had last week. I'm just about ready to leave my new cocoon and venture out again.
 
Re: How many of you are full time with Pampered Chef or part time with a full time joI have a FT job and work PC 6-8 shows average per month.
