Wise choice! Its amazing to me that with everything going on in America that anybody is applying for law enforcement jobs now.

For sure some good money in metal work.

Currently I'm working as a housekeeper for a Wyndham resort. I share my apartment with my brother, which is the only way I can afford anything. I do want to turn breeding reptiles into a full business, if only to be able to do something I love that I don't have to retire from. I have an associate's degree and plan on going back to school to be a vet tech.

I know!
I always wanted to be a detective or something in that field, that was my dream since i was a kid but i found this job and i liked it so I decided to go for it!

I've worked for the past 11 years as a deli/bakery clerk for Kroger. Nothing exciting, but it keeps the bills paid.

District Manager for a large heartless corporation. But they pay well :p

I work with my husband we remodel homes and do repairs from the ground up...used to be a welder, used to run a daycare while i stayed home to start my family...Got into snakes about 6 months ago and have gotten into raising rats and mice to afford them lol

manufacturing confidence at a defense contracting company

bamp!

ok let's continue to get to know each other. what do u do?!

:confusd:

Barista trying to figure out my life...

Account Manager at an IT company. Geeks and nerds all day, baby.

graphic designer/animator/videographer/video editor/photographer, both professionally and freelance (except freelance photography ew). :)

I am a cardiac ward clerk at one of the big hospitals here in T.O.
And might I also say, this is a very interesting thread :giggle:

I work part time as a "Circulation Aide" at one of the libraries a bit north of me. Basically, I shelve books, pull books for holds, shelve holds, and help patrons at the desk by answering their questions, helping them find things, and making library cards. From April to October, I work as the promotions assistant for Colorado National Speedway. :D

I have a degree in criminology/criminal justice, which I might try to do something with at some point. Sometimes I help a couple of my former professors with projects they're working on, which usually pays really well and tend to be very interesting (I spent great chunks of last summer in jails throughout the state, for example). The library has been fun, but they're only allowed to give me 20 hours a week, and I can only pick up shifts adding up to 28 hours a week, which is hard to live on. Additionally, a few of the people there are very, very politically vocal, so as time passes I feel like if they knew how I really was, and what some of my hobbies were, they would run me out with torches and pitchforks. I have a big trip in August, and after that point I'll probably try looking for something else.

The Speedway job, on the other hand, means so much to me that someone will have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

Portfolio Manager.

Basically, I pick stocks for a living.

Hey, did I mention I deal with numbers all day, love excel, wear glasses, and collect reptiles? :cool:;):D:P

If I didn't race cars and love sports, I would be a total nerd!

Of course, before you get too excited (ladies), I have the best partner in the world (the infamous Katie), so I am not advertising.

Kira, we are all STILL trying to figure out our lives!

Take your time, but always be working on growing as person and educating yourself; you will get where you want to go!

I'm an iron worker. I was basically born into it. My grandfather did it, my dad did it, and now I do it. Hopefully I can break the cycle because I don't want my son having to follow in the family footsteps. The money is good but it's not worth bleeding almost every day and after 20 years at it, I'm falling apart and I don't know how much longer my back is gonna allow me to keep doing it

I breed snakes for a living. I also breed Black Angus cattle, have a couple dogs I breed once a year, sell fertile duck hatching eggs, and breed rats and mice. I also buy and sell bales of hay, I buy them from a guy I know up north and resell them here in the mountains for a bit of a markup, helps to feed my cattle. Basically I just work around the farm here all day long and I love every minute of it! I did work as a scientist for over 20 years, not old enough to collect a retirement, I basically just switched professions LOL.

Thanks for the encouragement! I like being a barista but I know that I don't want to be making coffee for the rest of my life. I'm trying to think about what I should do..

I’m a high school English teacher. I work every after school detention, Saturday detention, SAT, ACT, AP exam we offer. It’s so totally worth it! :D

Work maintainence at Wal-Mart.... makes cleaning up after reptiles seem downright pleasant in comparison. :rofl:

Semper Fi! Marine Corps Veteran here too... Now I’m a Facilities Manager M-F. On Saturdays and Sundays, I sell Harleys at a dealership just north of Philly. Last February, I started a little grassroots motivational speaking/positive thinking/community outreach project (mainly on FB and YouTube) called The Warrior Heart. And right after Thanksgiving, I started driving overnights for Uber... I think that’s everything. Lol

I actually just met and featured a young autistic boy and his mom on The Warrior Heart. Like many in the spectrum, he has and continues to face many challenges, but he has found a home in running track with Special Olympics of New Jersey and enjoys timing himself with the stopwatch. He also has been able to play baseball in the Miracle League of Mercer County. Coincidentally, a support group his mother belongs to is called NJ Autism Warriors. Totally a random and chance meeting, but I’m glad it happened and that I was able to share his story on my page.

Well I'm Aspergers myself so whilst some aspects of my job are easier for me than the others MANY things are harder for me ... that said it's a tremendously rewarding job and certainly beats making money for unappreciative bosses in the finance world ... something I did for my first twenty years or so ...
