Ladies who are single and live alone, what do you do for a living to support yourself?

Recently out of a relationship – I work FT, I enjoy my peace and quiet. Gov. job here in Australia.
I’m a manufacturing engineer.
I am a nanny in NY. I work 6 days a week and pray that I don’t get sick or injured
Dental hygienist
Teacher and I coach 2 sports
I’m a teacher, currently looking for work unfortunately since being laid off, but the ONLY reason I’m able to support myself is because I live in a house my parents own and they let me pay reasonable rent.
Infrastructure product manager 🦟
I am a cardiovascular technologist. 2 year degree, and I love my job 🙂 wait I just realized I’m not single lol but I do live alone and support myself
Animal welfare/kennel tech at a service dog school. Been doing it for a decade. It isn’t high-paying, but I love what I do every day, and the benefits package at this place is great.
I work full-time and budget carefully. It’s not always easy, but the freedom of having my own space is totally worth it.
City bus driver. More than covers the bills believe it or not.
Geologist with a private sector engineering firm. And doordash on the side because everything costs too damn much.
I work in mid level administration. I also had the singular luck to be living in a low priced rental pre-covid, so while my rent has certainly increased, it’s nowhere near the crazy levels people are paying now. I don’t have subscriptions or streaming services. I don’t have any major debts. I get a free gym membership through my job. Life is good. 🙂
Medical billing and coding
Managing editor for a university book series. I teach and take in extra editing on the side.
Government employee
Cyber security, also have a side Etsy shop (more of a passion but brings in some small extra money)
Welder fabricator.
I work in operations for a commercial real estate company
