What does everyone do for a living?

I noticed a lot of you girl and guys are on during morning hours and less at night so im thinkin you all are at work. Im a stay at home mom and i redeliver newspapers to people who did not get them on the weekends...

I dont work right now as much because i have gotten to a point where i feel almost embarrassed to get a job. I have a hard time working in an office because i dont have the right clothing to wear and anything that looks office appropriate in my size is like 35 years older than me..;):D Well the benefits of seeing my daughter grow up right now are far greater than an office job so for now its ok, but i can be a sit on my azz mom forever....its time to get moving and get my career goin....

So anyway just curious what you all do for a living and basically just tryin to get a feel for you all.

p.s. i dont think ive ever used "you all" in a post so many times!!

I am an unemployed Medical Assistant. I hope to find a job soon, if not I want to go to RN school, just have to find a way to afford it.

I make food products, salsa, bbq sauce, pepper jam, dry rubs. We are working on our new product line right now. We sell online and at local flea markets in Canton, McKinney, & Ellis County.

You've tried the rest now try the best!!!!!

I am still waiting for my 1st online order since we went on line last week.

Just got a job at Needless Markup. I also sell e-books on how to make money. The out of the house job is to force me to get out of the house now that the kids are in preschool, and meet new people. LOL DH says I am a shut in.

I was a graphic designer for 20 years, then decided I wanted to do something different. So now I am a Training Coordinator. I handle training schedules and logistics for a field sales force of about 170. Also handle a lot of administrative duties, budget and such.

Worked in property management for quite a few years, had a "I had kids young and don't feel like I have had any fun moment" so i went out and took classes for firefighting. Got one good season in as a wildland firefighter in 2002 and then it got interesting from there.

After back surgury, some problems with my heart and a TON of weight gain (I have never been small by any means but was soooo much healthier) I find myself temporarily back as a community manager for a property manangement group.

I am currently going back to school for a few different things.....

1. I am going to finish my degree in fire science (only have 12 credits to go) so I can put a "diploma" to all the hours and hours of time I spent in class.

2. I am taking classes at Clayton College for a bachelors of Holistic Nutrition (this is just for me so I can learn a better way to take care of me and my family for the long run)

3. I am going to Arizona in September to get certified in permenant cosmetic application.

My goal is to find something to do with the USFS that is fun, only part-time and only in the summer, plus not as stressing on my body as fighting fire, then I can do the permenant cosmetics on the side as a creative outlet (that just happens to make really good money) so I can enjoy the last few years my boys are home (they are 12 & 15) and have flexible schedule to spend time with my wonderful DH that doesn't have a flexible schedule (he is a police officer).

I am a deputy in the Clerk of Court office in our County Courthouse. (I know everybody's little secrets!) Back in August 2005, a couple of weeks before my lap band surgery, a guy flipped out when the sheriff's deputies tried to serve a protection order on him and he came and set our police department and the courthouse on fire! Then he shot a police officer in a round of gun fire. We had only left the courthouse about 20 minutes before he poured the gasoline in the doorway to set the fire.

That was big news here! It is a small county and things like that just don't happen here!

For money I work as an accountant processing bill backs and program allowances for a large tomato processing plant, hope to change careers and go into teaching.

For love I am the single parent to the most beautiful little boys in the world (recently divorced).

Hi everyone....I'm a Human Resources Assistant for an Ivy League university in NY. I worked in insurance for 12 years then they downsized, but I'm much happier where I am now (for 8 years so far!). My husband is a foreman for a construction company.

Before I got sick with Fibro and CFS, I was a certified massage and Reiki therapist. I'm hoping once I lose enough weight, I'll feel well enough to return to work.
