The Irrelevant Job

Hello again. I'm currently unemployed. After 32 years of working and/or being in school, I'm now on my own. As far as society is concerned, I'm no longer a productive member. I'm a "domestic engineer" as it used to be called.
This job is irrelevant to society. First of all, it doesn't pay. Secondly, even if you're looking after your own children, which I am, many people I've encountered wonder why I'm not out there pounding the pavement instead of looking after a house and child. After all, aren't there others who could be looking after my kids?
So why am I no longer contributing to social programs? I currently am, because I received a severance package. However, I'm hoping I won't have to have a job in the traditional sense in the future. While I'm not looking to retire completely now, I certainly want to avoid the rat race if at all possible.
Is this sacreligious? Maybe, but the new generation graduating from school now does not think a 30-year career at one company is the way to go either.
In the meantime, I'm relishing no longer being a work statistic. I'm not in any company's ideal demographic. I am truly irrelevant in this area.

Regards,
Irrelevant
