what kind of job do you do?

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I'm a stay at home pet mom/ baby oven.
I don't have a paid job anymore. I left my job just before we moved, I was the manager at the most awesome pet boarding facility I've ever seen. I got pregnant shortly after we moved, so I won't be getting another job.

I'm a bartender/waitress

I'm aiming to be a Marine mammal rescuer and rehabilator. In fact, I'm going tommorow to an open house for a high school based entirely on the subject of Marine biology. Unfourtunatley its hard to make, but I'm pretty confident about it.

I was very interested in that when I was in high school. I got more and more interested in birds and other wild life and never pursued the marine biology.

How's that working out for you? I did murals in a church and quite a few residences some years ago. It was fun, I loved it, but I didn't love working on scaffolding - I'm trying to do things where I keep both feet on the ground now!

Faux Finishing is a great start up business. You don't really need a loan to get started. I recommend a 5 day course such as FauxEffects.com
You must enjoy the tedious aspects as much as the creative.
There's so much work, I don't know how to keep up. It would keep me busy 7 days a week, if I let it. But, it is physically challenging, especially for someone 45'ish with Rheumatoid Arthritis, but I thought I'm not getting any better, or younger. I'm going for it!
I go 3 scaffolds high!
PM me if you want more details.

Good, good living.

I am a full time kid!

I don't have a job at the moment, but I would really like to start volunteering at the Human Society near our house.

Corporate Travel Agent for 30 years until 9/11. Got laid off soon afterwards. Stressful, but I loved the challenge. Got to travel everywhere I ever wanted. After work and on weekends I worked as a sales associate at a huge department store and also at a local discount beauty supply/cosmetic store. In 2003 I home cared my mom for 2 years. Had 2 much needed surgeries on my spine and am now on SSD. I loved so many of your jobs-so cool! Now that my wrist is still broken, I'm limited to stuff so I have no clue what I'd do. I have no other marketable skills. I love being home doing what I want when I want and also being with my sweet K-lo 24/7. Could be worse. I do miss being with people as I always did some kind of PR work too.

I don't think I've replied in this thread, sorry if I have. I work at a pet resort. I stay mostly up front, helping people check in, check out, make reservations, etc. I also help out with the dogs in the back when needed. I started out completely in the back, but, moved up front. It's fun, I get to talk to people, play with dogs and cats, and, take photos all day long. It's nice!

Got tired. Wanted to have a home (and furbabies!)

I'm a dog groomer.

[Ginger's Mom]

Paralegal/clerical worker. The job has become more clerical than paralegal, so it is not as challenging as it was initially. But, as I get older I think I like that, and the benefits are pretty good.

I'm still deciding what I want to do when I grow up

I am an artist, dog trainer, and interior designer. I also babysit my grandson when his mommy is at school.

When I was in high school I wanted to get into interior design, but I didn't follow my dream...

I work for Wheelchair Getaways, it is a company all over the US that rents wheelchair accessible vans. We also have a sister company that modifies and services wheelchair vans, and another sister company that is a body shop. We're all in the same building so I get a little of everything everyday!

You're lucky. It stinks as a job. Underpaid and waaaayyyy overworked, and you're basically an overeducated salesman/purchasing agent.
