Lovelylils post made me think.... Dubs pretty much rule that particular sector. My mother was more proud of me working for the P.O. cleaning toilets than if I had gone on to be a doctor. So let's be honest...
What were your expertise? Stripping? Waxing? Did you own your own machines/business or subcontract from another brother? Any disputes? Horror stories? Ever have to go in service after going on no sleep at all?

I've done my share of window cleaning and domestic cleaning during my pioneer days.

tet... LOL! And no disrespect to anyone doing this. It supported me for many years and is honorable work.

There was a ton of them from my old hall, and my cousins were after they left Bethel.
I wax and stripped floors at a huge supermarket, security desk at con-dos and yes I enjoyed Christmas there to the tune of $2,000 a year in $ gifts
I was, and I hated it!

I also cleaned offices. Mostly banks and a couple of lawyers offices. I always wondered what went on during the day. I dusted the pictures of their families and wondered what their lives were like. Sometimes I really liked working at night and not being a nine to fiver. Other times I got freaked out because it was so late and I was all alone.

Did some light janitorial for awhile, then I took a job as an animal technician at Washington State University. Not much better work, but the pay was steadier and the benefits were good. I went back to school about 7 years later to study accounting. In retrospect that was the beginning of my exit.
Yeah
I was for a while
Thank God I saw the light
