I was just on the "where are you" thread and got the idea to start a thread to see what everybody does for an occupation. Put down what you do now and also what your favorite job has been.

I am a design modeler for a heavy construction company. I use SolidWorks to design concrete structures such as, parking garages, high rise business buildings, prisons, etc.

I think my favorite job--if you can call it that, was being an actor in a passion play about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. I was a part of the show for 6 years. It is called The Promise and it is in Glen Rose, TX. There is also a show of the same play in Branson, Missouri. I played everything from a mounted Roman soldier to the appostle James son of Zebede, and in my later years of the show I was one of the Pharisees. I got to be the bad guys and good guys.

Let us know what you do and your favorite job.

i work for the united states postal sevice,motor vehicle division,,other wise a truck driver

band date 2 june 2008:eek:

director of international sales for a hospital equipment company- I usually fly around the world 10 times a year, and then a couple of times to latin america.

I am a Firefighter in Fallujah, Iraq. Presently home on R&R for another 8 days !!! Woohoo! I love the fire service but have also done corrections on the federal side. I am thinking of switching over and becoming a police officer after I am done overseas.

ps: I love this band !

I am a Medical Lab Tech, I am the one who does all of the Lab testing the Doc's order. I am usually pushing buttons on instruments and at the computer most days, so not a LOT of physical labor, mostly standing.I hope my band can help.

The benefits of high risk employment is early retirement :-)

Been retired almost 4 years, but now awfully busy as a college instructor. It beats working for a living!:frown:

C.College Program Director. As many have stated, not much physical activity, but I love sports. Especially basketball. 2 months post op and down about 30. I had my second fill last Monday, I believe I need more.

CPA here. My choice of professions sure didn't help my predicament. Now that I've lost over 120 pounds with the band I actually enjoy getting out and being active.

Wow, 120! How long did it take? I'm still not sure if I'm properly restricted. I can eat over 2 cups of food and bread, but I am making much better choices. The exercise thing has not been going well. I'm working on getting my pool open this weekend, hoping this will help as I love to swim. Any suggestions?

It took about 11 months. Keep in mind that the band is not supposed to tell you when you are full. As my doctor says, "that is your job." The band merely helps you feel satisfied with less. I don't drink any calories other than light juice (40 cals) or G2 (25 cals). And I try to walk 45 mins a day. That's about it. Well, that and eating small portions. :thumbdown:

45 minutes a day?, I start tomorrow!, can't tell you how much that advice means. As they say in life, little things mean a lot.

I run a small summer resort

IT Service Manager in Dallas area.

Auto Sales & Leasing Agent / Jeep franchise manager

Med student. Unemployed otherwise :wink_smile:

Unemployed maybe, but you sure have a job. Can't even imagine what Med. school is like. Friend of mine scored 92 percentile on LSAT and said law school was pure HELL.

Best of luck with your studies and upcoming surgery. The surgery should be a breeze, mine went great. The term minimally invasive surgery is a little misleading for the first 3 days.

Everything GREAT now.:thumbup:
