What do you do for work?

[wendhend]

I work as a registered nurse at a hospital. I'm "float nurse" and am cross-trained to work in a bunch of different departments, which keeps it interesting. I also work the night shift... and actually really like it!

I'm a buyer for a company that provides front and back office point of sale solutions for several markets - hospitality (restaurants), entertainment (movie theatres, stadiums) and PSC (Petroleum Service Centers).

If you've ever been to AMC and used the outdoor kiosk to buy your tickets, that's us. If you've ever been in a Chick-Fil-A, Arby's, Krystals, Church's, Califonia Pizza Kitchen, Dunkin Donuts, that's us and our terminals that they're ringing up your orders on. We just picked up Chili's here recently. There's tons more restaurants, from fast food to high end, but too many to name - those are just a few examples.

If you've been to the Yankee's Stadium or the Dallas Cowboy's, or Miami Dolphins (as just a few examples) and purchased food, those are our terminals in the food areas - we just did the Miami Dolphin's Stadium right before the Pro Bowl this year.

If you're in an area where there's Sheetz or Wa-Wa's, those are our terminals in those stores as well. We're also international - Exxon-Mobil Malaysia, Shell Canada.

I like the job - it's never boring, the pay is decent, the PTO is generous, and the folks in my department are good people - not a lot of snarkiness in my group.

I am a full time student at Stetson working on my BS is Biology. I also co-own a pet store, we specialize in saltwater fish, coral and reptiles. I have done lots of things before and when I was fired from my teller/loan closing position at the local credit union I couldn't find a steady job so I bought a pet store Although if I had it all to do again I don't think I would own my own business. I HATE doing all the paperwork! I do really like taking care of the animals and searching out breeders for all the reptiles we sell. (I try not to buy any herps from wholesalers)

All and all it's not to bad and my partners Richard and his wife Kathy are very awesome handle alot of stuff so I can go to school full time.

I'm a licensed Professional Engineer in private practice. I specialize in designing factory equipment like assembly machines - mostly for the consumer products industry. There's almost 100% chance that I designed all or part of the machine that made something in your home. My major consumer products clients include Gillette, Proctor & Gamble, Keurig, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. I also do machines and sometimes products for B to B products and some Forensic Engineering for the liability industry (lawyers and insurance companies).
I have owned my own consulting practice now for 6 years or so, and have been in this line of work for 18 years.
I'm also a registered Patent Agent.

I know for a fact that manufacturing is alive and well in the USA

I'm retiring from the military next week... What a long, wild ride it's been, but I would do it all again. I've seen a large part of the world and got to meet and experience a vast array of people and cultures over the years.The first 13 years were the good years and the last 7 were the worst, since that is when 3 of my 4 combat tours occured. In August I'm supposed to start teaching night classes at the local community college and I'm also contiuing my own education...

I work for the Rocky River Animal Clinic as a vet tech with the hope of one day becoming a vet.

[unspecified42]

I'm an RN on a Med/Surg floor. Not my favorite place, but it's just too darn convenient for me to leave right now!

I work nights, too. Actually *yawn* I'm getting ready to go to bed after a long, stupid night.
