We have had many interesting posts to talk about ourselves, but what do we do for our jobs?

Me? Im a sign language interpreter and I interpret at a college during the semester and also do emergency calls to ER's in my county. What about you?

[Versafox]

I'm a pet sitter, and run my own business. I take care of people's animals in their home while they travel; I also do dog walking for those with long or erratic hours so their dogs can have a bathroom break midday. This has been my full time job for over six years.

[Fortissimo]

I'm a zoo keeper.

I specialize in the middle school variety of animal.

I used to be a middle school band and orchestra teacher; however, the few days before Winter Break change your job description.

Great topic! Forti -- that's funny! My DF just said last night that he didn't realize that he'd taken a job as a zoo keeper! LOL! He's a high school bio teacher.

I am the Editor-in-Chief of a business-to-business trade publication concentrating on bringing information to the wireless design engineer! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

[minemoz1]

I'm an Art Director for a medical association in Chicago (No, not the AMA). I get to do a wide variety of work from magazine layout, to logo design, to web design. Or as my DH says, I just get to have fun and play on the computer all day. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Right now I only work part time, 24-27 hours per week. I'm an insurance agent working for my wife in her agency. The rest of the time I am home for our 2 children, ages 9 & 10. I am also home for snow days, sick days, holidays and school vacations.

Prior to that, I was home full time for 7 years raising our children. While I was home full time, I volunteered 12 to 36 hours per week (nights and weekends) for our town ambulance. No time for that now. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I work for a state agency that supports all the state community colleges with their computer operating systems. I coordinate the help desk, so I get to answer all the calls from people who are having problems and make sure their problem gets directed to the appropriate person and followed up on.

Not exactly my dream job, but it will do until I can figure out what my dream job is.

[whoSEZ]

I've worked in publishing for almost 8 years and have been a full-time freelance proofreader for nearly 2 years. I do mostly college textbooks, but also some magazines, cookbooks, and newsletters. Love it, love it, love it!

Great topic!

If you ask my DH what I do, he would probably answer "she sits in front of the TV all day and eats BonBons."

While I'm not eating my BonBons, I am raising two kids 4 and 6, chauffering, arranging schedules, etc. I also watch a 3 year old with an attitude, 4 days a week from 7Am until 5PM Two nights a week I can be found in our neigborhood corner store. It used to be family owned and I came with the sale. I am also Director of Christian Education at our church.

In my "Spare Time" I like to dream about going back to WDW.

I am a paramedic. I have worked for the same company for 9 years. I also work part-time in the winter as a ski patroller, and in the summer as a water park first-aider.
My college degree is in Veterinary Science Technology, but I ended up treating people instead of animals.
I really love what I do!

I have my undergraduate degree in Accounting and I spent 10 years as a CPA before I decided to switch careers. I'm now a Corporate Recruiter (otherwise known as a "headhunter") for Robert Half International, which specializes in full time placement of accounting and finance professionals. I've been doing that for just under 4 years now and I love it! Neat thread!
