I am guessing you're asking what my parents did for a living?
My mother, when she worked, usually did bookkeeping, either at an automotive dealership or for my dad's repair business (assuming you're referring to the years when she was an active influence on my life, which was only my first 8 years). She dropped out of school after Grade 10, and her other education was a secretarial/bookkeeping course.
My dad did many things throughout his life. My grandfather owned a farm and sawmill (my dad was expected to help as much as he could). He was a mechanic, trucker, and rig worker. He could have been several other things, as he could design and build furniture, do artistic wood carving, and knew plumbing, welding, and so on. His formal education stopped at Grade 8 (common for people in his generation and his parents' generation who grew up on farms in this region). I am the first in the family to complete high school and go to college (neither of my grandparents got as far as high school as they were expected to work when they reached their teen years).
Now that you know this, why did you ask? Just because I grew up in a family of people who didn't have anywhere close to the formal academic education that's considered normal now, that doesn't mean they weren't lifelong learners (well, at least my dad and grandparents; my mother showed little interest in learning for pleasure, though she pushed me in my early years to the point of making me terrified to fail at anything).
My dad and grandparents all read voraciously, whether fiction, nonfiction, or newspapers. My grandparents watched the news, as did I.
