I noticed something organizing my files and don't know if it's just an odd quirk or if others have seen the same thing. I realized none of the 5 families I have enrolled earn most of their income from the private sector. I've had one family of teachers for years and the rest all work at nonprofits or government. The nearest city to us is the state capital, so that might skew things.

Don't know if it is important or even interesting, but I just was surprised when I realized it. Does anyone else have a similar situation?

All of my families work in the service industry...mostly customer service of some sort. Not a huge amount of income and variable hours, which is why they like my flexible scheduling options.

Most of mine work in either food service or as temporary employees (sadly the only way to work for many around here although some companies will hire after x amount of temp time).

I currently have 3 teachers and 2 healthcare employees. Although in my area teachers and healthcare seem to be the biggest set of employers so I am sure that is why.

I have 2 dcms That are teachers, one dcm is an accountant, 1 dcd is a chef (crazy hours), 1 dcd also an accountant and 1 dcd that works for an Ivy League college. His children receive free tuition if accepted there or half if accepted at another college. I'm jealous of that perk!

I have three dcms that work in the schools (all three are specialists though, not teachers) and one dcd who is a police officer, all of the rest of my dcps work in the private sector.

That is an amazing perk!
