I quit my full time job last June! Wow, almost a year, where has the time gone? Both of my kids are on their own (well sorta), they still come over to visit (for dinner) lol. So it's just me and my hubby. Lovin' my empty nest...:p I do 8-12 shows a month. Got 8 shows booked for June Sell-a-thon!! Just gotta get that new product!!:D
 
I work full time as an Air Traffic Controller (yes I'm one of those who get to tell pilots where to go!) at an airport 45 mile away. Plus I 'm pretty much now full time since I promoted to Director since my team has now grown to 19gals. My goal is to quit air traffic and be all PC. I figure since I'm doing so well now imagine how far I would be if I had those other 60 hours a week!!!! Oh, plus I have a DH and a teenage son very into sports.
 
I consider myself to work pretty much full time. I work 30 hours a week as a secretarial temp. I also have another home-based business I run. Between the two I definitely put in a full 40 hours a week besides the PC stuff.

Of course, I consider PC my real job.
 
I work 40 hours + at an engineering firm and have a 13 month old daughter...at this point PC is more of a hobby and an avenue to free stuff!!!
 
I work part time coaching gymnastics a couple of nights a week and travel to competitions Sept - May on various weekends. I also have a candle business that I work from home. We have 3 children, 7, 4, and 2.
 
I work full time at an Oil and Gas company. Exec Asst. for Engineering and Geology - 6 great fellas + 2 college interns.
 
I work full time at our automotive repair shop. I have a 13 year old son and 8 year old daughter. I am also the PTA president at my daughters school. Finishing up my second term. YAAAA! No more president. I would love to be able to committ more time to PC. While at the repair shop I try and take care of PTA and PC stuff when I can.
 
I work part time, but I also go to school, I am trying to be a medical assistant which is one reason my pc business is not going so great. I am waiting to hear on an application for a full time job though. So that is what I do.
 
Bump - I KNEW this was somewhere...
 
I am looking for a full time job right now...my hubby and I own a company and we just added 10,000 square feet ($350,000) to the building and the economy took a S#%@! For the first time ever we have had to lay a few guys off. He cut his pay and my sister's (his Office Mgr). I will continue to do my 8 shows a week but I am going to be one tired lady with a very messy house...hopefully it will only be temporary!:yuck: I've done it before...I can do it again!:cry:
 
I work full time 35 hours/wk as an accounting manager. - have 3 teenage daughters - my husband is self-employed so I do all of his bookkeeping and paperwork. I do 4 - 6 PC shows a month. Wish it could be more, but right now, my kids are so involved in extras I just have to hold on to this to keep my sanity!!! :) :)
 
To the OP ... not everybody who sells PC even has kids.

I work full time and my hours have just been expanded (or should I say I am now getting paid for the 40 hours I work ... ) so it is not always easy to squeeze in time for a business.
 
I teach JK/SK full time :)
