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 a full-time college student (psych and elementary/special ed and History)(I sub in the local school when I can), mom of 3, wife for 21 yrs (i was 21 when I got married). I am also an education junkie...I have my real estate license...okay now the funny stuff: I am certified as a personal trainer, certified in Holistic Health, and certified in Sports Nutrition..I did this to prove to my older daugher that eating a half an orange is not healthy. (I am now motivated so I think I will used these certificates when the weight comes off)

I work part-time as an environmental scientist, specialising in contaminated site assessments and audits. (The equivalent of Brownfield / Superfund sites for US readers...). I am currently working as an environmental audit project manger / auditor's representative for Australia's largest specialist consulting group.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Earth Science (double Geology major) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Soil Science, as well as various workplace training and professional environmental auditing qualifications.

I really like my job - it's satisfying to help people to clean up soil and groundwater contamination, and to have a part in making a contaminated site fit for a new use, whatever that may be!

At some stage, our family plan to spend a year or two working overseas - I'd love the chance to try out my skills in another country!

Outside of work, I am married to the man of my dreams, and am the mother of one 5yo boy and two cats. I play flute, sing, garden, scrapbook, walk, swim, gym and love to socialise!

I am a paralegal and office manager and have worked for the same attorneys for the past 14 years. I love my job but it is soooooooooooo stressful. We do estate work and one would think it's low key... NOT!!!!! I also have 11 year old twins that I shuffle back and forth to after-school activities.

I"m a Legal Assistant and office manager, with several grown kiddo's, The attorney I work for is a Patent Attorney, also does Family Law and Some Criminal. I'm with you Sugar, Stress, Stress, Stress. I am also a Paramedic and had been a Director of Business Development for Auto Dealers in the area. My husband and I own our own business as well, that keeps me busy throughout the weekend most of the time. I have 3 Grandbabies and a new puppy (my menopause baby), named Emmitt. Gotta love being Busy! Just wondering, with all my activity, why the heck don't this fat stuff melt off my body!!! LOL

I'm a substitute elementary teacher as well as an instructor at a local Sylvan tutoring center. I'm also thinking about going back to school to get my Master's.

I am an elementary art teacher at a center for gifted and talented students. I have been teaching for 13 years and I still can't believe that I get paid to do what I do. I LOVE my job!:confused: url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

Well I agree that it is interesting to see what people do for a living.

I do not go out to work but instead look after the dogs whose owners work. I usually have three or four dogs in my house including my own. Job includes fresh air and exercise. the dogs i look after are real sloppy joes from very loving families and just want lots of tlc and time to play with other dogs. I get to meet other dog walkers , make lots of friends and yet be at home whenever my children need me. I choose my hours and it is a great job.( only qualification a liking of dogs and a respect for dogs).

At present just had op a week ago so I am unable to walk dogs so I just have two dogs in the house (1 is mine) and a dog walker coming on in to exercise them.

I build aircraft but as of today I am retired. I accepted the option for an early retirement package. I also paint and I like to write. I occasionally sell paintings and maybe I will find a way to cash in on my writing skills. Who knows? As of today I am disconnected from the workforce. Weird.

I am a dietician....ironic isn't life. I chose administration instead of therapy and I have spent my career as a Food Service Director for public schools. My goal in life is to remove the last surviving chicken nugget and french fry from the lives of school kids...but I have to move with stealth lest they figure out that I am here to save them from obesity...a fate worse than death, so I am steadily introducing .....shhhh......healthy food....shhh!!!!... into the school lunch venue. Don't tell any one!
