What's your JOB??

And how much calories does it take to do it?

I'm a PSW (nurses aid) in a long tearm care nursing home.

I was told it was about 1100 (if I remember right) for 8 hours.

I am a electronics technician.  We make and repair entertainment equipment for private airplanes and I have no idea how much calories it burns.

I work with abused kids... so I run around all day, play kickball/dodgeball/etc, restrain kids, deflect punches all day. I have no idea how many calories I burn.

I'm a student... lectures don't burn much calories but getting to the 6th/7th floor at least once a day on the stairs does!

I don't actual work. I just sit around and watch C-C all day.

Wait. That's the wrong answer. I'm an engineer.
And I have no idea how many calories i burn on that alone, not too many I imagine.

Iam a mtg underwriter .......... I'm not sure how many {if any} cals i burn a day.. I do now how many brain cells I burn daily..dealing with brokers & borrowers.....   yicks!!

I'm a librarian, not listed on the cc occupation list.  It's probably between moderate sitting and quiet sitting.  When I'm cataloging, I'm just sitting and typing (like now) but I have to get up from my desk to get more books to catalog and shelve the ones I just cataloged and sometimes books are heavy.

So I'm not sure... maybe 200 calories per hour?

Electronics Services Broker - Sitting in front of the computer as well as some light shipping. However, I never  log any of that activity as it seems too low to matter!

Asst Vet Nurse - i run after vets and Nurses, help hold the animals and make tea, put things in their palces and also generaly clean. I burn 830 cals in 5 hours on a normal day, and when its busy that goes up too 1100 +.. still within 5 hours lol.

Edit: only time im still is on my 30 min lunch.

Some really interesting job!
I'm a clinical & regulatory affairs coordinator - basically I work in clinical research doing oncology trials.  Sitting on my butt 6 hours by my PC and 2 hours of running around on average :-)

I'm an engineer, I pretty much just sit at my desk all day pretending to know stuff :-)  Can't imagine I burn that many calories.  But I do have "Engineer Leg", the thing never stops.  And I'm constantly getting up to "discuss important matters with colleges"  :-)

I have also one of those sedentary jobs :-( I am a manager at a b2b publishing company. Sit in front of the computer a whole lot, and my only work-out is walking to the candy machine ..... wait... no. I stopped doing that a while ago.

I'm a professor assistant and research assistant. I do all kind of different things so it really depends...

I'm a graphic designer - I love it, but would like to get to run around a little more. Sometimes I get out on a decent photoshoot and that may burn a few cals, but apart from that, it's generally office based.

thinking of retraining as a Helicopter Pilot in about 12 months.

I do general ledger balancing for about 750 atms for a large bank. It is easy desk work, but so easy it is boring!!! Burns next to nothing......

Going to school to become a plumber, and that job will burn some calories! Even more so when digging a trench!! Hopefully by next summer.

I'm a receptionist in a fairly busy veterinary office- sometimes have to fill in for the nurses and the RVT's- (lifting animals- restraining-) but mostly just talking on the phone and laughing... going to this site when the phones are slow and the doctor is busy... been in this field for 20 years....

STUDENT HERE!

I'm a night manager of a bagel store... Doesnt' seem like it would be busy from 10pm to 6am but I get all the hungry pist off drunks... LOL , always a line out the door... I run around and clean and sweat the whole time.... I burn between 2,449 and 3,368 on days that I work for 11 hours... But, when i am home I run around after my daughter and play with her, do my college work, and I have 3 businesses plus I sell things on ebay, and have alittle tshirt business on the side (that is not yet a business really) so... I'm always doing something... I'm not exactly sure how many calories that I really burn a day....

nomoreexcuses: i'm a librarian too!

i burned a LOT more calories when i worked in a public library across the street from both an elementary and junior high. after school time was a serious workout. chasing kids, retrieving homework books, chasing kids, chasing kids... you get the point.

now i'm a teeny special library and i may as well be a sloth for all i move in a day.  packed on 20 lbs in a year solely from the job switch. doh!

I'm retired and my job is enjoying life.  I don't know how many calories that takes, but I'm sure having fun!

Mainly I'm a student, which burns very few calories.

But, I'm also a soccer referee (which I would imagine would burn a lot), dog walker, and child care taker.
