What do you do for a living, do you enjoy it? I was a 2D animator that worked for TV, then realized that I wanted to go into 3D animation. So now I'm in graduate school not making any money. Very sad, but I'm hoping it is worth it!

    I'm a corporate *kitten*...medical marketing exec for a pharmaceuticals company by day, and in my moments off ( yeah,right) photojournalist/photographer. I'd become a photographer full time in a heartbeat, but you can't make a decent living doing it, but it is FUN :-)

    I'm an architectural designer. I used to love it, but NO ONE is building homes right now, not even the rich folks, so it has gotten BORING! :)

    I work as a charge auditor for a large health system. I get to use my coding skills and while the general stuff I do stays the same, I get to look at a little different stuff every day which keeps me interested. Plus, the added bonus of getting to work from home makes me love my job!

    Really? I think I may have an account with your company. ;0)

    I'm a crime reporter which takes up most of my time, but I'm a pin up photographer on the side. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE both things I do.

    Well, I worked for 16 years in advertising as a copywriter which I LOVED (fast paced, high stress though :) and then retired to work alongside my husband in a residential Christian rehab program with men struggling with addictions (loved that too!!). Now we own a retail fixture manufacturing company, a building company and a commercial contracting company...all of which keep me very busy!

    semi retired now...
    last job was as Training & Development Coordinator for an international market research company
    (hobby was buying and restoring old houses) *S*

    in the past have also spent a few years as a graphic artist for a major oilsands company, then as Production manager at a weekly paper; and then as graphic artist moving on to advertising acct exec for a daily newspaper.

    any one of which would have been a fine career.. and none of which i ever once foresaw myself doing. (except for the graphic artist part *L* that was the only one that was ever even close to what i thought i would do...but did not pay well :(.

    all i ever wanted was a simple stress free 'job'.. no career... and i kept finding myself being moved into management rolls. *L* talk about stress!
