    What do you do for a Job?
    As we all share the same passion for herps, I got to thinking, what do you do for a living?

    I have seen a few interesting posts on here about professions.

    So if ya wish, please share what your profession is. :)

    I work at a 4 person company that does the whole shebang from design to production of interfaces for point-of-sale systems.

    I focus on embedded programming, mostly we deal with equipment in check-out lanes at retail stores.

    I'm a professional body piercer of 9 years and I also currently manage the tattoo shop I work at. At night I do event security consulting for a friends security company (he basically pays me to go checkup on his employees at bars and to check out new bars)

    I am a quality control guy for a precast concrete company. Tough work... 13 hour days, 6 days a week, but pays me enough to afford more BP's so I can't complain. Plus, I shouldn't be upset with over time when I am lucky to have a job at all with the way the economy is.

    I disagree. You have one of the hardest professions on the planet.

    As for me, I work in IT. Currently, I am developing and maintaining various Windows client and server apps with C#.

    I have a busy but awesome job- I'm a SAHM and I take primary care of our more than a dozen snakes. I hate when people look down on SAHMs... I am blessed and happy I can take care of my baby 24/7. With my limited degrees and the field they are in, I'd be lucky to break even if I worked due to daycare costs, and then I couldn't exclusively breast feed my child either.
