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!!

You guys will get a good laugh out of this. I am a Registered Dietitian. I work 20 hours a week in a hospital. I also invest in real estate with my husband. We have several rental properties that I manage.

People always want me to give them a diet when they find out what I do. I usually tell them that I can't even manage my own diet!! :)

i am a barber, me and my sister own a small barbershop in a small town, i love my job.

I'm in college getting my bachelors in Nursing!! I feel like there is a nursing club on here!

I am a Secretary for a middle school principal...there are three assistant principals and one that oversees the entire building. I am secretary to one of the assistants. Last school year was my first year at the job. In 27 days I go back to work to begin my second year. I hope to retire from the school district someday.

Before that I worked as the Clerical Coordinator at the main office of a non-profit organization that serves people with developmentally disabled people. My boss drove me to have to see a therapist, so my new job was a God-send. I volunteered in the school district for 14 years, so I knew it would be a good fit.

Before that I owned my own home-based business typing for procrastinating college students (this was before everyone owned their own computer or lap top) and wrote resumes and cover letters and helped people with job search. This enabled me to stay at home with my son when he was younger.

Hi all, I am finishing my Master's in Industrial Organizational Psychology. I work at the college I attend as a Psychology, Math, Biology and Physics tutor. My "main" job is spending lots of hours studying! I have managed a 4.0 throughout my entire college career and I am determined to stay that way. It helps that I went back to school older! lol I attend the same college that both of my kids attend (it doesn't bother me, but they aren't doing back flips over it! LOL) I am getting banded so that I can get a job when I finish my education, without size discrimination!
