This week’s Top 10 Tuesday features characters with jobs we would like to have. I worked as my husband’s bookkeeper for almost 25 years as I helped him grow his business. It was the right choice for us and helped us achieve our goals. But did I regret leaving upon my retirement a year and a half ago? Uh, no. 😉 While my first year of retirement was a bit different than I imagined, I am enjoying more flexibility and freedom. Not having to plan time off around biweekly payroll is great! So, no, I don’t envy any character’s job!
For a bit of a twist on today’s challenge, I am featuring characters whose jobs play an integral part in their story. They wouldn’t be where they are without the jobs they have. All are recent reads.

Same. I got married while I was still in college and had my first baby prematurely just months after graduation. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom since. Now that two of my kids are out of the house and the other two are at school all day, I have all the time and flexibility in the world. I can do whatever I want and I wouldn’t trade it for anything! Although being a librarian is definitely something I would have loved 🙂
Happy TTT!

If I could do it over again I would have gotten a “library science” degree instead of English. The program at my college focused on school-aged lit, with few classes geared towards adults. So I passed.
