My dad bought livestock for a major meat packing plant. He got a healthy severance when they closed down and didn't have to work for two years, but that wasn't his style. He sold cars for nearly a year, then went back into ag as a livestock broker until he retired. Couldn't hack not doing anything so we got a part time job as a security guard until he really retired.
My mom was a secretary until I was born, then she stayed home most of the time. She did get a part time job when I was in school for a neighbour's company doing office admin stuff, then she was a part time assistant librarian at a school for a couple of years.
