I used to look at my team-mates like Lindsay Johnson and Rachel Brown, who were full-time teachers and trained in the night. I was like, ‘I’m not going to do that.’ I always believed I’d go full time.
It’s hard to bring up your children on benefit. It’s easier if you can do part- time work, or even full-time work, and actually have a better standard of living, and that’s the direction in which we are going.
Whatever feminists may say about their only advocating choices, everyone knows the truth: Feminism regards work outside the home as more elevating, honorable, and personally productive than full-time mothering and homemaking.
I am a full-time mom; that is my first job. The most important job ever. I started my business when he started school. When he is in school, I do my meetings, my sketches, and everything else. I cook him breakfast. Bring him to school. Pick him up. Prepare his lunch. I spend the afternoon with him.
Now that I’m older, I couldn’t do music full-time. You don’t get home until two or three a.m. Acting, you can be at home with your family.
Yes. I am writing full-time. Which is strange. It feels like not having a job.
But now that I’m cartooning full-time, I’m more of an observer. I’m talking to people who are experiencing these things. But it’s not like being in the trenches.
I try to be as full-time mommy as possible and also full-time working woman. That is the example I grew up with. Working mommy but also very present.
I was working a full-time job but not having anything in my savings account at the end of the month because of my bills and because acting in the beginning costs money.

My mother lost her job, so I left school to work full-time to support her.
The way I found time to write ‘The Imperfectionists’ was that I took work as a copy editor at the ‘International Herald Tribune’ in Paris, working full-time for approximately six months, then taking my savings from that and writing full-time, then returning after six months, and so on, until the book was done!
‘The bigtime for you is just around the corner.’ They told me that first in 1952 – boy, it’s been a long corner. If I don’t hit the bigtime in the next 25 or 30 years, I’m gonna pack in the music business and become a full-time gigolo.
While I’d been in school, I had a nagging thought that it’d be so much easier to quit all this higher education nonsense and get a full-time job at wages low enough to still qualify for government assistance.

I am not a full-time politician but a ‘sanyasi’ who took the path of politics to serve the masses.
I always wanted to be a full-time musician. Every television job I had was a means to buy a grand piano, or to put in a recording studio, or something like that.
Most of us in the baby-boom generation were raised by full-time mothers. Even as recently as 14 years ago, 6 out of 10 mothers with babies were staying at home. Today that is totally reversed. Does that mean we love our children less than our mothers loved us? No, but it certainly causes a lot of guilt trips.
I think I’ll just become a full-time dad, at home, with my family.
I’ve had the same, full-time assistant and typist for eight or nine years now. She’s read everything I’ve written, she types everything and does a good job, translates it and makes comments.
Sometimes ’30 Rock’ was a struggle because I’d be doing the show and still be doing stand-up full-time.

I take my hat off to mums who have lots of kids. Anyone that says being a mum isn’t a full-time job has obviously never had any.
I certainly know women who had children, quit their jobs, and still have full-time nannies. That’s who these women are: Even to the detriment of their own relationship with their kids, they want to appear perfect Martha Stewart moms.
I wear yoga pants and get to work out all the time – it’s my job. I feel a little bit different when I go into what I call ‘the real world.’ It’s cool to be able to train as a full-time job, and it’s something that I love and will continue to try to make work for the next however-many years.
The average full-time working male works more than a full-time working female.
When you’re your own business, and my business is called Nita Strauss Incorporated, and I am my business, so it’s not like I get to stop working at 5 p.m. and go home and do other things. It’s a full-time job.

Karaoke is something that’s near and dear and very close to my heart. I was a karaoke host when I was working my way through university. I was a full-time student and karaoke was my night job.
You have to be extremely fit. It is a professional sport. We have five shows a week. In 2014, I had 220 matches; in 2015, I was on the way to a similar amount before I got hurt. It is a full-time lifestyle. It is very demanding.
When I started out there weren’t even contracts for players and now all the girls on the team are full-time professional athletes, I guess seeing that evolve over a period of time has been incredible.
My fear was of being offered a job that would be kind of a full-time position at a veterans organization or even in the government… I’d prefer to not be that, to come up the Beltway every day.
I worked a full-time job at a place call Caraustar. We recycle paper, then through recycled paper, we take it and we make V board out of it. If you buy a TV, a new couch, you see these little V boards that make like a V.
During my years of professional cricket in England, I realised that although the Australians were talented players, tactically they were a bit naive when compared to those who played full-time on the English circuit. You might find this arrogant, but that was the reality then.
Completing my degree in Sports Development at Liverpool’s John Moores University while being full-time at Manchester City is one of my greatest achievements.
I work, and I’m a full-time mom, and it’s hard for me to sit down and relax because it’s like, ‘Crap, there’s something I’m forgetting.’
When your hobby becomes a full-time job that pays you and the people around you, it’s not fun anymore.
Offence is no longer defence – it’s a full-time profession. Everyone is so offended all the time. The new police force that we weren’t told about: the moral police. No qualifications, no training, no understanding of actual morality, but they have a degree in the art of being offended.
Touring the world was almost like a side project that got out of control. It’s like two incredibly demanding full-time jobs that I’m trying to do at once.
Peacemaking is a full-time vocation that includes each member of God’s people.
My dad went to law school at night while working full-time. He has an unparalleled work ethic and has passed down to me his passion for playing and watching sports. I love him dearly.

I have 179 children that I take care of full-time: close to 40 in Uganda and the rest in Sudan.
As well as writing novels and doing short-order journalism, I am also the full-time carer of my husband, who has Alzheimer’s. Each day feels like a race that must be run.
My parents both worked full-time flipping burgers at the local fast-food joint, and my grandmother looked after us. English was her second language, so instead of books, I learned spoken French nursery rhymes and curse words.
I was going to go back to doing the indies more often and possibly working more of a full-time schedule in Japan. If I didn’t get the chance to go to WWE, that would have been a bummer to me, but I was just going to continue to do the best I could and continue my legacy.
It’s really a full-time job to manage our lives.
Instapaper is much bigger today than I could have predicted in 2008, and it has simply grown far beyond what one person can do. To really shine, it needs a full-time staff of at least a few people.
