Professions?

So what is it that everyone here does for a living?

I'm currently unemployed :(. I relocated from Richmond, VA to Atlanta, GA cause all my family is out here and I want to go to GA Tech. However I am basically a IT Professional. I used to work for a mid-sized computer manufacture called Velocity Micro. They bought out the company I was working for (Overdrive PC).

My boss told me I can work for him when football is over at his feed store...I CAN'T wait for Nov( its when I start work) to roll around..New snake racks baby!:gj:

I work as a sales call center employee for a local phone company (AT&T)... catering only to small business owners.

If you arent totally screwed up in the head, this job will make you either suicidal or drunk on a daily basis....


:8:

Many things, whatever pays. I work at PetCo, but go around town mowing lawns, doing handyman stuff, borrowing my friends truck and picking up used pallets from grocery stores and stuff after shipments and sell them to various shipping companies... pretty much anything that will net me that little extra money to pay tuition/rent/car/gas/food/snake food/ etc... lol

I've done call centers, they're stressful but the money isn't always bad.

I'm living my dream as a full time ball python breeder! :gj:

I am a gunsmith at a small local shop. I do just about everything there. From general maintenance and cleaning to refinishing of both wood and metal to customizing and full custom rifles and pistols.

Lucky duck!! I might be able to buy a few nice stuff with my collection that I am building( its going to be GREAT), but not support a family, and stuff..LOL. You should do a day in the life of Adam Wysocki vid!

I work as a bookseller in Barnes and Noble. I've been there for two years.

My dream is to work exclusively with animals as a full time job, with the focus being on reptiles and my rodents. Used to want to be a veterinarian, but there is too much school involved with that.

I likes my profession..

Full time stay at home mom:D

No seriously though, once I have time and my children are in school full time. I am going to pursue my love for photography.

I would love to be a full time stay at home mom. Just one problem. I don't have kids yet. The hubby and I want kids but we are waiting for him to complete a little bit more school first.

Photography must be fun. It would be fun to learn something like that.

annoying my sister.:)

Nice! I'm hoping to open an Exotic Petshop here in the next few months. :D

I am a full time waste of time... in other words a college student. :)

Currently going through an upheaval of the plans, since the powers that be got a lot stricter, but I am DETERMINED to work with animals in some way!
Actually, since my prior dream of a wildlife refuge probably won't pan out, what I'd most like to do is have my own education setup where I take animals to schools and such to teach people about reptiles and set up an educational petting zoo here and there. :D We shall see...

OH its so awesome. I LOVE it. I get to spend the most important years with them, teaching them, molding them into little kindhearted, respectful, caring people. Its so much fun watching them grow and seeing all the things they are accomplishing and the people they are becoming. There is nothing better in the world.

I can't wait for the photography. There are like 500 classes I want to take lol.:D

Final year of undergrad at university. doing BSc Chemistry.

I recentlly left my previous job as a Field Service Engineer and took a new job as an Advanced Generation Specialist. (Basically a Power Plant Electrical Engineer) Due to the fact my new job is actually supplying a service to the public instead of an industry I am not allowed to take the engineer title here as I know what I know from experience not a college degree. Pay is good. Hours are long. Stress is high. Rewards can be big. I hope to eventually work my way up to system generation specialist.

Been in the U.S. Navy now for 12 years. I am a Chief mechanic on nuclear powered submarines. Alot of my job deals with Hydraulics, Pnuematics, Refrigeration and Amosphere Control. I also work as a ship control supervisor when we are at sea. Right now I am enjoying some shore duty, so I am not attached to a ship. :taz:

Currently I work Security but what I really want to do is work with animals. I'm working on the police path to be a humane law enforcement officer with ASPCA or something similar...

I´m a (tax) lawyer, trying to retire before turning 40 (and I only have 10 months left to figure out a way...)

I'm a gentleman of leisure.

I work the guardhouse at Kohls.com full time. I log in and out all of the shipments.

I also go to the University of Phoenix full time. I am working on my Associates degree in IT. After I receive this degree, I am going to start on my Bachelors in networking.

My main job is making custom lighting and modifying European lighting to CSA and UL standards for sale in Canada... but thats new. At the moment I am still training for it. It's fun. I get to work with tools all day (dad would be so impressed!).

I also find European lighting lines to import into Canada.

I also write, edit, and research (academia). Do not let my online writing fool you, I can write cogently if need be.

People see you havin' fun just a lyin' in the sun, tell them that you like it this way...........

...Currently in grad school for Landscape Architecture. But During the summers I am a sales/design consultant for a hardscaping company around here. I also keep myself busy by doing some freelance design work on the side to help build my portfolio. :)

I'm a bum! *hic* Pass the beer! Wait! No no no no... I dont like beer! *gasp* I like hard liquor! W00t, jager!

OK for reals though, I work in rail services.

I love to work at nothing all day.

as a couple we are monavie distributors on the side... thats our thing to do together (in addition to breeding the leos, and working towards our ultimate dream of breeding ball pythons for a couple extra bucks)

Im an office manager for a pest control/irrigation company and my husband is one of the supervisors for the same company :D We carpool hahaha

Oh yeah.. im a mom too!

Going to school fulltime at UNC Chapel Hill...studying to be a reptile vet....
and working part time at petstores! fun stuff lol

Lieutenant Firefighter/Paramedic

I love it, 24hr on 48 off....10 days a month, rest of the time Im at the beach...too bad Im part Irish and cant get a decent tan worth anything.

Mechanical Engineer
I'm a licensed Professional Engineer, so I get to be my own boss and consult full time :)

I'm an IT Specialist for the Army. Build and design a bunch of stuff for them. I did run my own business for a long time consulting for various companies on the net.

I too aspire to be a full time breeder one day.

Supervisor in Healthcare Call Center. Lucky to be home today considering we actually live in the Call Center during storms like Fay!

I work as an "IT Support Specialist". Basically I fix computers. I like snakes, and I think having a business on the side would be fun, but my heart .. my true passion is for the world of IT.

It comes naturally to me, and I have my position with my company through sheer knowledge. No schooling or past job experience to speak of, I just knew my stuff, impressed the boss and turned a summer position into a full time position.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.

I'm a Human Resources Specialist for the Department of Defense at the policy making level. We oversee the branches, divisions and agencies of the Federal goverment's civilian employees enforcing Title 5 laws and Federal regulations, and ensuring that they are understood by those that hire and fire.

My efforts to put what I learned in Bus Admin classes can be seen in my own business. (the link is below). I am setting this business up for my retirement to come later down the road. I am working on getting established now.

I am also the mother of adult children 3.1, and have 5 grandsons (no granddaughters).

I guess I can say what I want to do...


I want to go to college for a agricultural science degree or to be an ag vet.

I want to minor in animals science, and maybe i can also minor in a how to keep a prolific business degree( what would you call that?).

Then I plan on taking my engineering degree and finding a great job, find a nice ranch with land, start my seed and show stock herd of shorthorn maine anjous, and collect some snakes I have always wanted to have! And maybe breed a few of them...just a few.

I do purchasing for a granite distribution company called Innovative Stone. We're currently partnered with Home Depot and provide their fabricators with granite for kitchen installations nation-wide.

I am a research development scientist for a large international corporation, currently working on development of adhesives and brackets for Orthodontics.

And yes, I have braces on right now...

Irony???.... absolutely.

I corrupt the minds of young children.
