. . . at the doctor's office today (no worries, just my annual gyn.)
I was a new patient and therefore being asked all these questions.
Level of education? Ph.D.
Working or homemaker? Homemaker
I whispered to Mama that I should just call myself "Dr. Homemaker!" Really, I can't believe that term is still in use officially.
(At least I'm no longer a "spinster" because I'm legally married in CT.)
Besides, I think of myself as more of a professional volunteer, between Girl Scouts, the historical house, and now hospice.
Think "professional volunteer" is a category on LinkedIn?!
Some folk would say that homemaking is work, the correct question should be 'Employed or homemaking or unoccupied (bone lazy) or incapacitated?'.
ReplyDeleteAnd does it really make any difference to your problem whether or not you are any of the queries?
Nope. I've already checked, and then sent a complaining e-mail to the powers that be at LinkedIn. We may not be professionals, but we are highly skilled. And networked to the hilt, I might add.
