I AM A JUNIOR INTERIOR DESIGNER!


Sorry for shouting, but I just got hired for this the other day and am obviously thrilled about it. Currently (as in, for the next two weeks) I work as a drafter for a furniture manufacturer, but in just a little while longer I can do what I've always wanted and start my "interior design career".

Congrats on the awesome new job! I want to do interior design too

I trained and worked with horses for 5 years. Now though due to circumstances I do painting ( houses ) and I clean for a lovely lady once a fortnight.

I was there today. She is 93 and a diamond


For the future? Who knows but I`d love to be a photographer

Also in IT here. My specialty right now is enterprise technical architecture. As my boss calls it, I'm the one that looks into a crystal ball to figure out how the company needs to spend their money in IT.

I also dabble in creating pet products (see my web site) for a couple of reasons: to give me a little income when I retire, to raise money for animal rescue, and as a creative outlet for me.

I'm a cataloger in a public library (cool that "cataloger" has the word "cat" in it, eh?). Been doin' the Dewey for over 5 years now...I'd love to work as a museum curator, preferably with antiquities, or with animals. Oh well, gotta pay the mortgage somehow!

I work from home as a transcriptionist, corporate and legal. I can type all day in my pajamas and have no overhead...and see my kitties all day.

I work in a call center now. I used to be a massage therapist and a body piercer, but my health will not allow me to do that very much any more.

I'm a Registered Nurse. It's like my 3rd or 4th career.

My ultimate dream is to own a small gallery and teach painting and show the work of local artists.

I don't currently have a job. i am looking for one and i sell my plasma twice a week. i think i want to do something with books. i'm not positive what. a librarian or something. but i want it to be more bookish and less peopleish. if you understand what i'm saying. right now i just need a job so i can pay my bills and save up to go to collage.

I work in the offshore oil & gas industry. I do electrical & instrumentation drafting & design work. I also, when needed, move over into the piping department working on P&IDs (process & instrumentation diagrams). I enjoy my job, but if I could have any job in the world, it would be freelance photography.

i work at an emergency vet office as a vet tech. I absolutely love it, even though its heartbreaking at times.

As a little kid growing up i always wanted to work in a zoo and i still do! If i cant do that i think i would be a photographer.

I'm a self-employed hair stylist, my shops name is "Bangs" hair salon.
I have been a cosmetologist now for 24 yrs.! I love what I do! I have been
more devoted to my son, since Marvin died, meaning I don't work late
anymore! It is really cool though how you start out, starving and will
pretty much do anything for anybody, (put up with their s===) to build
your clientele.
Then you get to a point where you realize, that the people who give
you crap, or are hard to please, their money isn't green enough!
So you weed out the bad seeds! I have to say I have been so blessed
because now all my clients are cool, just like me! We totally understand
each other, and are totally laid back!
They love when I tell them, "OH Dianne, I had a vision of you last night!" they know that we are about to try something new and different! I do my best work on someone who will trust me, to let me act out my vision of them (which is a vivid photo in my mind that comes to me wherever, whenever,
of them with a new cut or a new color)
Something else is kinda telepathic, is when I get up in the mornings, I will
think of a customer, let's say "Mitch' and I'll think, I know it's time for him to
come in and get a haircut, I go to work and most of the time, whomever I had thought of usually calls for an appointment! If not that day, they will within the next few days! Anyway, Good Luck and Happy Jobs to all!

I'm a software engineer mostly working in server side java, although since I work in a small start up I'm one of the founders of I'm also the company designer (business cards, logo, website etc.) and sysadmin.

I'm quite happy where I am although hopefully within a few years the company will sell and my shares will be worth lots of cash

I am an office manager. The company I work for owns several businesses in my home town and I run the two administrative offices link to these companies. It's an okay job, but sometimes very hectic and always time-comsuming.
What I would really like to do when I have had enough of this is open up a little B&B.
