    Wow - I posted this on FB as well and I've received WAY more replies from people that I don't know. I love this site for that reason. Sounds like some very interesting jobs out there. I wish I lived in a bigger town where there were more job opportunities. Keep 'em coming. I love to hear what other people do for a living.

    I'm a Classification Sergeant at a County Jail been there 15 years. I like dealing with people and the courts. I just wish some of them would figure it out and stop coming in. But it is job security.

    Yeah but in the bigger towns, a lot more people are looking for jobs! I was in NYC a few weeks ago and my cab driver was a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer talking about moving to North Carolina or Florida for work.

    I own a Real Estate Brokerage (and am a Realtor specializing in Farms and Estates in Franklin, TN). Most of the properties I sell consist of 5 acres or more - usually above $500,000 (but I'll sell any type of property). My 2 favorite parts are the viewing of homes (I'm nosey, so I love getting ideas for my own home) and the negotiation process (I have a law degree and am a bulldog when it comes to negotiating and getting my clients the best deal - I find that to be really fun!).

    Oh.. and I also help my husband with his masonry business (doing the desk side of it).

    I am a Unit Secretary and Co-Producer for a cable network at male prison. I love the idea that every day I get to help people, I help keep the community and my family safe, I help educate inmates so they have a better chance upon release and I help myself by feeling useful. I also get to work with some of the best officers in the state ;)

    I am a criminal investigator (commander over an investigative unit in a municipal police department). The best part of the job is seeing the guys put together an iron-clad criminal case and sending the perp(s) to prison...and the best part of that is seeing the look on the defense attorney's faces when they lose.
    AWESOME
    Would love a job like that!!! I have been doing admin/billing in the medical field for over 15 years I've worked for the same doctor since 2000 and I'm thankful to have a job!! Would love a change, but..............

    I'm the optical coordinator at an optical office, like Pearl Vision. I love the hours, love the benefits, and the people. I make sure the doctor runs on time, deal with insurance, run the office basically. I love everything about it. First job I've ever really loved.

    I am an organic dairy farmer. My brother, father, and I milk 250 cows and crop 900 acres. I love being able to work outside (although the winters in WI often make me feel differently) and enjoy working with all the animals. The only downfall is there is never a day off and in summer we often work 16 hours a day. I get to take my two kids with me to work everyday so they can learn to run the farm one day. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

    I am a home day care provider. I keep my day care small, only up to 3 kids ages 12 weeks to Kindergarten. I usually keep the kids from infants until they go to school so my turn over rate is very low.

    I love everything about my job. I love the kids I watch and because I can be picky, even the parents too. My current client are awesome, some of the best parents I have ever had!

    I adore the ages of kids I watch too, they learn so much in that time it amazes me how much they can learn each year. I do not offer a preschool program, but after talking to several Kindergarten teachers I work more on sitting quietly during a story, listening to short directions and even lining up. I do work a little with them with colors, letter and numbers etc...


    Same as me but in UK we are called Childminders.
    The children i care for are aged between 10 weeks and 13 years and i have up to 9 at any one time. :wink:

    I am a pricing manager for Winn Dixie. I am on my feet just about all the time. At least 3 days a week I am on my feet all day long from the time that I get into work from the time that I leave. I am completely worn out by the time that I get home.

    I'm a conservator working on historic buildings. My days are often spent crawling around roof spaces clearing out the back of 300 year old plaster ceilings and stopping them falling down!!

    Every project is different and challenging. Right now we are helping put together a new museum.

    I'm a dental hygienist working for 3 wonderful doctors in an awesome small town. I get to have people's heads in my lap and me in their mouths all day long :wink:

    But that's not the best part! The best is the revolving door interactions I get each and every day. No one hangs around long enough for me to get sick of 'em!

    And yeah, brushing is great, but flossing is BETTER!!!

    My job is a very important one! I am a very busy wife and Mommy to 9 wonderful children :) They range in age from 1 yr old (just had her birthday on Wednesday) to 21 years old...5 boys and 4 girls. I LOVE my job soooooooooo much and am so thankful that I am able to stay home with my children and manage our home :)

    My husband is a personal trainer (what a nice perk for me!), distributor for Visalus, and corporate sales manager for our gym :)
