Here you get taxed according to what you earn, not what you do. [and I earn diddly squat, it's official!]

As a wife & mom, it might be simpler to list what I don't do.

As far as the rest of it, I'm a full-time student and freelance copywriter.

That's copyWriter, not copyRighter. People get that mixed up. Even people who really should know better, like English professors.

I'm a mum and wife. My list of duties is long and the pay is shit. I still recommend it for anyone who can afford it though.

I forgot to add that it was unpaid volunteer work, but it consumes most of my day.... I'm that sort of a nerd/bossyboots...

Officially unemployed, but I volunteer for 6 (soon to be 7) organizations and take care of spouse, house, critters, and paperwork. I wish reading, posting, and taking pix paid.
