If you were to add up the salaries for all the jobs that a mother performs

throughout the year, how much would her services be worth? According

to a report in 'The Washington Post', she would recieve $508,700 a year!

This figure is based on a study of median salaries for occupations that

mothers typically perform. These are some of the 17 occupations

included in the report, along with their average annual salary: Child-care

worker, $13,000; bus driver, $32,000; psychologist, $29,000; animal

caretaker $17,000; registered nurse $35,000; excutive chef, $40,000;

and general office clerk, $19,000. According to Ric Eldemen, chairman

of the financial services company that conducted the study, these

figures do not take into account such expenses as Social Security and

other retired benefits.





So the next time I see my Mom I'm going to give her a great big hug!

She did all these things for me and I will be forever grateful!
