I shoveled horse shit for 4 years after first moving here. If your OH's going to get picky about the perception of whether your education measures up to your career, I'd leave him to be the sole wage earner.

Nice, I shovelled dog shit for my first....wait I still am only I am working for myself now...sole prop is the way to go, you can claim more:thumbsup:

I don't know, but I imagine references and a police check would be handy as hey, you're a stranger in their house. I can see people asking for this? Sorry, I'm into soapmaking -a whole different kettle of fish

Let us know how it goes?

BTW, as to the MSC thing...I have an MSc. Artificial Intelligence. You'll notice the home business is making soap? Yeah, not really connected.

Befitting is a matter of opinion. I find it behooves me to be able to pay my bills.

In Calgary, the owners would speak to my wife on the phone and then tell her where the key to the property would be. Frequently, she was given access to their home on the basis of a phone call only. The flyers she put out gave her cell number, no address.

It constantly amazed us:eek:
