What do you do?

Aircraft structures mechanic. Currently on F-35 program. Yes, a girl that builds weapons of mass destruction. :O

I'm an EDI analyst for a medical claims clearinghouse. I read the raw files and tell the doctors' billers what they're doing wrong when they bill your medical/hospital/dental visits to your insurance company.

At the moment, absolutely nothing. Waiting on a disability claim, I'm visually impaired among other things. Loath the term blind as a collective descriptor because most blind people can still see light and color. Currently trying my hand at writing, we'll see how it goes. I'm also a certified diesel mechanic but at this point I've been using the diploma as a coaster. Large laminated items really keep spills from sinking into wood. :P I've also been a home health aid, a maid, a housecleaner, a teacher (only a year and not on the books, the original teacher came down with cancer and the substitute spent his time wandering around chatting, for the most part. Only had to fail one student, so all considered it worked out), and a cashier. I also used to sell artwork but creating on 2D (no matter how large, and they got huge - ​I dislike working on things under three feet) gives me optical migraines that kept getting worse, finally moving on to sculpture instead.

I'm a Dog Groomer and I also train dogs on the side. All of my jobs have been in animals - I started as a kennel worker, then went to a bather in a grooming salon and then worked with an extremely well-known show dog handler for a short amount of time (she and a dog named Hickory won Westminster in 2011 - a Scottish Deerhound). I didn't like the way she treated her dogs, so I went back to grooming. I'm very into purebred, working dogs. They're my love - aside from snakes.

I'm a licensed Veterinary Technician in Las Vegas! Love my job, plus i get the added benefit of discounts on meds when needed.

I've been living in a time warp to the 1950's for the passed nine years, so I don't actually do anything for a living. But sometimes I sell art and my sketches have appeared (paid an unpaid/as a favor) in a couple books.

Embarrassing ,lol,really is:(

I'm not sure that's your place to judge, friend.

I work as an IT Business Analyst.

I work in a stem cell medical research lab.
I do the in vivo animal testing portion of studies. Occasionally I might do in vitro stuff, but not common.

It's pretty enjoyable and interesting. And I promise I'm not a psychopathic sadist.

I'm a full time MSIS major and a Student Supervisor at a convenience store called 20Something on campus.

Why would selling the odd bit of art be embarrassing? :P

Oh, the part about being a kept woman. Nope. Not really. Sure, I'm dismayed with myself for not finishing college and there are certain other complications. Meeting new folks in the real world, it's a few minutes out of a conversation and after that, nobody cares.

Geologist. I work for a massive seismological research program called EarthScope, mostly in an education and public outreach role. But my real passion is gemology and metalworking, I'm currently training as a metalsmith and will hopefully be opening my own little (online) store soon.

Although I'm moving to VA in December at which point I will be jobless!

EMT in Paramedic school. Also lifeguard and CPR instructor.

Weather forecaster for the AF :) I like it well enough, as I've always been interested in sciency things.

But my passion is animals, of course. And I'm pretty into arts and crafts, the latest being glassworking (aka lampworking, in this case); in addition to sewing and making jewelry, particularly chain maille. Someday I hope to be good enough to make a living off of any of these.
