Everyone works. As a homemaker, you have been working, you're the CEO of the house. I've seen some creative resumes written by homemaker where they put all the work they do to run a home in business terms.

However, because nothing in life is certain, you should have a backup plan. My mother raised me with this philosophy: Aquire a skill, craft, degree, or otherwise have a good set of job skills that make you hireable. In case something happens. She wanted to be a homemaker too, but her husband died when she was 22 and left her with no life insurance, no savings, and two kids. You have to have a back up plan, in other words, some kind of job training or job skills, for the worst case scenarios.

This was the advice she gave to me and I can't deny the logic.

The community college in our city has job training programs, maybe there's someing like that near you if you're interested.
