Semi-retired teacher. I taught little ones: kindergartners, 1st graders, and 2nd graders for years. I retired last June, but I did manage to get a part time job for this year. I knew I would miss working with the students if I totally stopped teaching. I work with young children with an online reading program. I get all the fun parts of the job, and I don't have any of the yucky parts.

Great Thread - call me nosey, but I always love to know what other Browncoats do to make ends meet (or at least what they'll admit to doing... )

By day I earn money working for a group of UK museums in middle-management/rapid response - I love my job!

By night, I sleep (mostly )

Hey, now that sounds like a great kid! I work out of New Hope, PA. I don't know if that's too much of a hike for you to make it at all this week, but we've got our Polar Express trains running now till Sat. night, if your son wants to see Santa. Mind if I ask where your sister works? I know a few massage therapists in coats of brown.

Alack, it isn't mine. It was created by the wonderful and talented Arcadia. I'm sure she won't mind if you snag it, though.

Ooh, I almost forgot -- our 3-year-old is a Browncoat, too. At least, he's always asking to see the opening credits, the shot in the pilot where Inara is flying her shuttle, and the swordfight in Shindig. And he can sit through a few minutes at a time of any other scene I'll let him watch.

Mind you, it's starting to get a little tricky. Explaining away the guns, punching and swords has been fairly easy: "We never fight for real. We never hit people, we never shoot people, we never use swords. They're just pretending on TV." But he's started asking, when characters appear, whether they are "good guys" or "bad guys". And I really don't know what to say half the time.

Antiquarian Book and Paper Restoration.

I get to clean and repair all manner of stuff.

Some of the neatest things I have seen come thru our
workshop :

The Annapolis Academy Museum's collection of Robert Fulton's
papers - including the patents and designs for his first
steam engines.

A booklet on the rules of baseball, very early -
if memory serves I think it was 1869.

Original edition of Vesalius' Anatomy Book,
from the 1500's I believe.

But the best so far :

A sketchbook attributed to Henri de Champlain,
the explorer. Filled with notes and small watercolor
drawings of plants and animals from an expedition.
That one was insured for over $1M.

Would not trade my job for anything
