While you were in school getting an edumacation, what were your parents doing to give them money?
I'll start with my mother. She took three years of college, and has, most of the time, taken clerical positions for various offices, as well as be a pre-school teacher and a barber, though she is currently unemployed, but my father has plans to change that.
My father, an artist at heart, has been doing advertising for a good while, and has had art director and creative director positions at Ogilvy & Mather, Publishers' Clearing House, and a local mattress dealer, Sleepy's. He has since quit Sleepy's a couple of years back and started his own agency, AdCount. He's got his own office and jointly runs it under the name of AdCount Direct, LLC with a woman in Marketing (her half of the agency is called Direct Drive).
He wants the company to expand into entertainment, though. He's been pitching a dark comedy TV show about an ad agency, and has got a lot of positive reactions from various people, many of them important enough to get the show on the air. He'd like it to appear on one of the movie channels so he'd have more creative freedom with it. My mother's going to have a prominent role in the show, as well.
This is the opening theme of the show.(If you go on to YouTube and search "AdCount" and you'll see a couple of other videos of this show. The second result should be the opening theme.)
So what do your parents do?
