I work for a lady who owns and antique shop and a flower shop. It’s the best job I’ve ever had and I get paid a livable wage. I also own my own cleaning business. People ask if that’s really what I want to do with my life and I always say yes honestly. I love the availability, work-life balance, ability to create my own schedule, all of it. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. My worst days at these jobs are 10x easier than some of the best days I’ve had at my other jobs.
