My father was a tool salesman (Snap-On) until he was fired, and is now a flower deliveryman. My mother is a schoolteacher, and is the only one in that generation (or before) of ancestors to graduate from university. 2/~50 of my first cousins graduated from university.
None of my grandparents worked as farmers. Both of my grandfathers worked in "industrial" jobs (one in a manufacturing plant and one in an auto repair shop), and their wives were....housewives, I suppose.
Of my great-grandfathers worked for a railroad as a signalman. I don't know what the other three did.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

My mother's mother's family raised chickens during the Depression. My grandmother was the only one of the children who was willing to chop the chickens' heads off. I suppose that makes her a peasant/farmer.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.
