What does everyone do for a living?

This topic may have been covered before, but cut me some slack, as I am still fairly new. ;) LOL.

So, with that being said, what does everyone do for a living?

I currently work as a Sales and Marketing Specialist for an insurance company. However, I plan on going back to school fairly soon to get my degree in Paralegal Studies.

I'm a project assistant for a foster care/adoption program the focuses on policy and education.  I plan on going back to school one of these days for national security or environmental policy...or somehow combining them.

aka. I sit in a cube

Gov't contractor.  Doing IT work... so I take care of computers all day. 

I actually have my own office!  Too bad it's always freezing cold. 

Interactive designer, heyoooo! I make websites. :)

I wish I had my own office, even if I was cold. Then I could wear a cute cardigan. The AC doesn't circulate well here... :(

Graduate student in engineering.  It's every bit as glamorous as it sounds.

I chat...

sometimes my hobby of being an admin assistant at a head hunter firm gets in the way though.  it's all about priorities :D

 

Vampirism.  I draw blood all night long.

I am an Associate Government Program Analyst in the California State Controller's Office (I sit in a cube too).

Currently looking for an attorney job since I passed the bar and got my license.

 Congrats on passing the bar!!

I manage a health food store...  lol...  apparently its has not rubbed off on me well enough. Do as I say, not as I do!! ;)

Marketing database coordinator. aka...desk job. sit on my lazy bum and try and use my brain for things that it wasnt ever intended to do. but i LOVE my job!

I work on the administrative side for a bottling company.

Supervisor Data Reserch for a title company 

 

guess this proves work is fattening :-)

im a consulting (hydro)geologist. 

got water? and if so, for how many years?

we develop groundwater supplies, plan future supplies, and also do a bit of environmental work, trying to keep our groundwater supplies potable.

 

I am an Optitian, which is fancy for helping the Optometrist (Eye Dr) with patients.  Then selling them glasses!  Yippie! 
(Much better hours than my last job, managing a restaurant...which is probably why I started on CC in the first place!)
I would love to go back to school and get a drafting degree!

OB/gyn RN who just finished my Family Nurse Practitioner degree and will be looking for new job as soon as I pass my exam. 

*Pats self on back. Then burps.*

I am a Sensational Drag Queen Trapped in a Woman's Body....or what we lovingly call a Faux Queen.  I wear big makeup, jewels, wigs, shoes and perform on stage.  My performances are sometimes wacky and creative but I can still deliver a straight lipsynch.  I perform mainly in San Francisco but I have traveled to several cities including London and Hawaii.  Still confused?  Think Victor/Victoria or Connie & Carla.

But doing drag does not pay the bills or for all the hairspray & fake lashes.  During the day I work as a CSR for a wonderful non-profit organization that provides other non-profit organization with deeply discounted computer software to help save them money for their own services.

 

I am a paralegal!! (legal clerk, legal assistant - there are various names we get called, but I will only list the nice ones!  LOL).  I've (sadly) worked in the same law firm for the last 17 years (yikes!) in the litigation department and work for 6 different lawyers.  I am in Canada so it probably isn't as fun as it would be if I worked in the US!  Some crazy  claims down there!

I am a translator and interpreter (sometimes also called linguist). 

I work from home translating and/or editing different specialized documents to/from English, Spanish and Portuguese. 

I also do simultaneous or consecutive interpreting for different clients (on the phone or in person, depending on need).  I interpret for Spanish, Portuguese and French speakers.

ps: I am also a substitute Spanish teacher, on the side (depending on needs & assignments in the school system)

Everyone's jobs sound so much cooler than mine! ::pouts::

I'm an equal opportunity specialist in the state government.  Basically, I do my part to ensure that my agency is complying with federal and state nondiscrimination statutes.  I investigate discrimination complaints within the agency, review the interview process to ensure there is no discrimination in hiring, give training, and do some diversity recruiting. 

I am a jeweler.

I used to be one of those who would fix your jewelery in the retail store.  Now I work in a different shop for the company making new jewelry and fixing old.  ( I spend my day surrounded by gold and gems, playing with fire and acid.)
