Question: What should my main character's dad's job be!?
So, my main character is 18 years old and lives with her dad, but I don't know what his job should be!. He's a single parent so it should be something that pays well, but not too much!. Enough for the two if them to survive!. And something that has him out most of the day!. He comes home just when it begins to get dark!. And has an off every now and then!.
Thank you for your help:)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Your main character's father could work delivering mats, paper towels, uniforms, and etc as a truck driver!. It fits your qualifications; it pays well, but not too much, would have him out most of the day, comes home just when it begins to get dark, and would give him days off every now and then!.

I'm talking about a truck driver that would work at a business like these:

also, I would not suggest using a job such as a doctor, firefighter, or police officer, which would have your main character's father coming and going at all times of the day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hmm!.!.!.well I don't think it really matters what career he has!.!.!.you could make it so he's gone most of the day!.!.!.

but some suggestions I have are!.!.!.

a refinery worker!.!.!.day shift worker!.!.!.(usually a 12 hour shift!.!.!.from what I know)
an assistant to somebody fairly important
works on a farm (gone most of day!.!.!.off when it rains!?)
pediatrician (not sure how much that pays)

that's all I can really think of right now!.!.!.not sure if any of those sound right!.!.!.but I hope I was some help!. Good luck writing! :-DWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think a carpenter would be a good job, because then maybe some of their furniture could be made by him and that's just a cute job for a dad!.
also-- own a bookstore
a dentist or dental assistant
A substitute ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

hmmmm!. i think an accountant would be good!.

the effect would be good, it's like, the appearance of the dad would be a little haggardsome, busy looking and stuff!. i hope i've helped you!. goodluck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
