how do people make money?

This popped back up and reminded me of a story from the past. "How do people make money?"

When I was I guess about 16, we were sittin around the table after supper just chattin. We were talkin about what we (my sister and I) were gonna do for a living in adulthood. My sister rattled on and on about saving the world one patient at a time, blah blah blah, (she's a nurse). After that I looked at mama and said "I know what I'd done if I was born a woman" Mama said what? I replied "there'd been a ***** in our family". I thought mama was gonna fall outta her chair.
