What does every one do for a living?

I'm a cop in a little town in Indiana.

Kudos to you, JamieH, for going to school for your criminal justice degree. It's an incredible job field and has any number of opportunities for specializing, if you care to. It's been the hardest and equally the most rewarding job (career, I guess) that I've ever worked.

Pretty cool to see/hear the variety of jobs/careers people have and a shared interest/love of reptiles in common.

I suppose I can actually answer this question now. I'm going to be an account manager for a "contact center". I start on the 21st of this month! My first full time job ever!

I was a college student and worked for people with mental disabilities in a house setting. A nice change of pace with my new job I think.

I help teach mentally handicapped people life skills.

Slitherin, Luscious, my hat's off to both of you. That job field take a very special kind of person to work with people with those diagnoses.

Congratulations on landing that job, Slitherin, hope it's everything you want it to be and it works out well for you!

Thank you very much! I'm super excited to start the new job and you are so right about it taking a special kind of person! That was one of the hardest jobs ever and I did it for 2.5 years while working on my BA. I'm totally burnt out and happy to move on to a desk job!

I actually started my school 'career' in criminal justice, but switched to Sociology to be more diverse and I enjoyed the research part. My original plan out of college was to get a job as a social worker in the prison system, but Iowa is on a hiring freeze in many, if not all departments :( I put in 160+ apps and finally landed this job and I'm happy as a peach.

I've been in the Air Force for just about 12 years. Currently working in Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station in Co Springs. I keep the Stargate clean... :omfg:

Congrats!

I am an emergency services dispatcher for my city... AKA I answer 911 calls and dispatch fire/police/medical to those who request it ...:rolleyes:

That's awesome, Slitherin! And IOWA, really?! Heck yeah! My wife was born and raised there and still has family in the Cedar Rapids, Shell Rock, Waverly areas.

I hear ya' on the hiring freeze. Sucks. I was hoping to make a move out there to the State Highway Patrol or a small town agency but it isn't looking good for the present time. I loved my sociology classes in college. Those and anthropology...hahahaha! I'm such a nerd, lol!

And Cheyenne Mountain...that's NORAD territory, isn't it? Thank you very much for your service, whatever you do. Have the utmost respect for service personnel and I very much appreciate what you all do.

I work at a pest control company! But don't worry, we don't removel/kill/touch snakes. In fact, my boss just found a baby rattle snake...and took it home to keep it.

I am a electronics test tech, and i build and test lasers that doctors use in a variety of eye treatments. Its very gratifying to know I'm helping people see better, plus lasers are freakin cool!
