I am a retired VP with a major brokerage firm on Wall Street. I still dabble in the stockmarket, via on-line trading.

What a wonderful diverse group of people all supporting each other in this "Wonderous Journey to A New Life of Good Health"

I teach English in an alternative high school; this is the kind of school that offers a diploma program, not a discipline alternative school. I LOVE my work, and the kids that make it so great! I will begin my 18th year of teaching in the fall, well, August, actually. I am betting on my kids to be my ultimate supporters.

My son just graduated from an Alternative school. It was just the best place for him. He just couldn't cut it in a school with classes with 30-40 kids, over 3K students in the entire school. His alternative school had classes with 5-15 kids. Some kids were there because they had babies, others were there because they lived out on their own.

I work as an editor for a private publishing company in Washington, D.C. I've always dreamed of making my living as a novelist, but I lack the discipline. Hard to believe after 16 years of meeting deadlines at work, but it's true!

Bumpety bump bump.... This thread is cool! I am a LPN who has not worked in a year due to a back injury. But.... I start a new job Monday! This will be my first time working in a nursing home. They assure me that the nurses don't do ANY lifting. Yeah right! I guess I'll find out. Wish me luck please.........Jess

Thanks for bumping this up, Jess. A very interesting read.

I was a cna and activity coordinator in an aged care facility (mostly working with Alzheimer's patients), before moving to Australia.

Now I do technical support for a webcam chat community with over 2 million members.

Quite the change in careers, but I love my job and it gives me time to roam the boards through out the day heh

Best of luck with new job Jess!

I am starting a new job next week - I'm an 'Optical Dispenser' - well I was 5 yrs ago and will be again next week! Basically I am a glorified receptionist, I get to help people pick out their glasses and choose lenses as well as all the paperwork. But its fun.

I am a bit nervous going back after 5yrs though and dont even talk to me about work clothes

I also have a Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) with majors in Psychology and History - minors in English Lit, Linguistics and Classics.

I want to do another Arts Degree and study - philosophy, anthropology, gender studies and art history. (and more english and history lol)

I'm addicted!

I began a PhD in Cultural Studies but chose to work full time and gave it up years ago, maybe I will go back to it one day.
