What do you do?

Besides care for or about cats?

Gary and I are biz partners, and we conduct and publish equity research for a living.

We do consulting work these days because of Gary's health situation. But because we're not always contracted, I'm thinking about getting a part time job, probably clerical, definitely local.

What do you do?

I'm a full time housewife and I tell you I miss work so much. When my youngest goes to school the first thing I am doing is finding a job. I miss the adult talk and the not being treated like a complete slave, although I love my family to pieces I need some me time lol.x

Im a barmaid i absolutly love my job its a 15 minute walk from were i live sometimes i get unsociable hours but i dont mind ive met some interesting people to say the least

Right now no one is hirering permanently in my area unless you are a nurse, can lift 50-100lbs, or have a CDL. So I mostly do temp office work.
I'm hoping to get some health issues dealt with so I can start my own business. Right now the heat intolerance, fatigue, inability to stand for very long without moving around, and tachycardia among other issues (worse when they all happen at once) are a problem.

Full time mum and part time student. I'm doing a Bachelor of Business, and am also including 4 science subjects as electives because I will be doing a post-grad nursing degree next

Depends on the day of the week. I'm a nurse, currently working with women & adolescents with eating disorders. I'm church organist and teach private piano and voice lessons. I own a photography business with two completely different areas of expertise: copy & restoration of old photos, and wildflower/wildlife/scenic photography.

not much then

I am a stay at home Mom/housewife during the day plus I babysit 4 other kids. And 5 nights a week I stay with a 93 yr old lady

I work at a vet clinic as a assistant pet nurse. In other terms, I am a vet tech assistant. I'm the extra hands for the vets that work in the hospital as well as the veterinary technicians. This is my dream job. And, I am now on a waiting list for a local community college's vet tech program. Hopefully, I will be going back to school either this fall or next spring. Ideally, I'd like to go on to become a vet, but I am taking small steps first. And, the job I have now is a wonderful way to get my foot in the door.

I do a bit of everything at my job. The hours, right now, are not great, but they will improve as time goes on -- especially as we enter into the warmer months. But, it's an excellent job and I love what I do! At work, I can be doing anything from making follow-up phone calls and scheduling appointments to assisting in a surgery. I handle and hold pets during their exams, I clean kennels and make sure everything is working properly, I sterilize and clean instruments, and keep up with the basic maintenance of the office. I also talk with clients and pet owners, go over treatments and estimates, assist in filling prescriptions, and do one-on-one work such as nail trimmings, temperature taking, and the like. No day is ever the same. And, that's one of the things I love so much about my job. On one day I can be just doing client relations work, on the next I can be taking x-rays and keeping the hospital stocked and clean, and, then, on the next day be cleaning a wound or assisting with a procedure. And, I can't even begin to tell you how much I have learned or grown with this position. It's only been 6 months and I am already a far better person for what I have been taught and shown first-hand.

I could go on and on about my job and my work, but I won't bore you with all of the details. I should, however, also mention that I am a writer and am working on some things right now along with what I'm doing with my job. And, above all else, I am a mama to my pets and a part of a family of blood-relatives and friends. One day, I would like to say that I am a vet and have published works, but, for now, I'm very happy. And, that is definitely something to be grateful for.

I work in a fry truck right now. It's a horrible job, but it pays better than minimum wage and its full time and thats hard to find. I am planning on taking college courses online starting this summer. I was planning on starting in May, but I have to get my puppy spayed and take her to training so I wont have the money until the summer semester starts. I will be taking medical office assistant courses and hopefully within a year or two will be doing that.

I'm an Asset Coordinator for Xerox Global Outsourcing. I basically manage the assets of major accounts in our database. I love it because there is a lot of freedom, and I can work from home if I want to.

Dana also works for Xerox, and is a Solutions Account Lead for major accounts. Basically he's a supervisor.

Well, I've been pretty much unemployed since Sept. '07. I did get a job with an inventory taking company and worked there for a few weeks, but the schedules have stopped coming, so I don't think I'm working there anymore.

I do, however, have a job lined up at a small fishing resort in southern Utah for the summer, so right now, I'm fixing up a 68 VW Bus to sell to get a full-size van. I'm going to turn the van into a small RV and work and travel around the U.S. since jobs are scarce. I'll go to where the work is.

University lecturer here (that would be a professor in the US). I've been doing that for about 16 years now. Absolutely love teaching and helping the students as they launch on their careers .

I'm a writer/editor at a weekly Catholic newspaper. Have been there almost 10 years and still love it - most days!

I am an auto claim adjustor.

I'm connected with a trading firm, do some real estate and have a rice and coconut farm (there's some chickens too ).

I work as a server at a restaurant downtown--very busy and stressful, but I love it MOST days. Been there 15 years and have met some fascinating people, many celebrities. very colorful characters

I'm an actor. That's my profession, what I was trained for. As we all know, though, finding work in this profession isn't a constant thing. But I've worked alot, and am now a member of a new theatre company - Project Rushmore Theatre Company.

We're growing and things are happening fast. We've now got non-profit status, and do readings of plays twice a month, and it's a "pay as you exit" type thing and we actually make some money at our playreadings! We're making things happy, and it's been a huge shot in the arm for me!

In the meantime, to make money, I work part-time at Theatre Development Fund - a non-profit company that provides discount theatre tickets to members. TDF has been in existence for over 40 years, and runs the TKTS booth in Times Square. I do all the donation entries. It suits me, as I can just zone out and put in the numbers.

I also dress models for fashion shows, so during the two Fashion Week events during the year in NYC I'm really busy.

I'm a special education resource teacher and diagnostician in an elementary school (some semesters two schools). It's very stressful and I don't enjoy it, though I still like spending time with the children. It's the system and the adults that wear me down.

This was the career I took up at age 40 to "find fulfillment" after working in the business world - sales, marketing, and management - for about 20 years. It was a good idea to become a teacher, but it hasn't worked out for me.

However, I have only a few more years until retirement, so I keep my eyes on the prize.

I would not recommend that anyone go into education in this day and age.

Well, I was going back to school to become an elementary schoolteacher, but since I took, and failed, Algebra 4 times, it wasn't in the cards for me!
