    I am a mortgage loan originator for a large bank in Ohio (we have office in most of the midwestern US) I help people get loans to buy houses or to refinance to pay off debt or do repairs to the house. I LOVE doing the rehab loans, its so cool to see how people fix up homes, i've seen some pretty amazing renovations :)

    Where at in Ohio, I work in Columbus (Gahanna)

    I stayed at a Holiday in in Gahanna when I was doing my training :)

    National City Bank (Now a part of PNC) in Lorain County, Ohio, my office is just west of Cleveland

    I grew up in Lorain County....Elyria, to be exact.

    I also work in a bank, but I'm must a peon. Man I hate my job:frown: I also have an English degree.

    Honey please,,, you handle a bunch of 10 year olds, and you think engineers, loan officers and chopper mechanics have it rough? :laugh: :tongue: :noway:

    AMEN!!!!!!!!!! I could NEVER teach... I wanted to but changed my mind after a friend of mine quit teaching after only her second year because she was nearly sued by a parent for assigning too much homework to one of the students... the kid had been acting up and she finally said she would assign an extra page of math problems every time she had to tell him quiet down, he ended up with 10 extra pages one week (about 200 problems) and she said they would count towards his grade... mom & dad didnt like that, the school forced her to back down and the kid was obnoxious the rest of the year... I mean I could handle the kids, but the parents? no way!!! I'll take number crunching ANY day of the week!

    lol....the parents are the toughest part but I love seeing life through the eyes of fifth graders! It is wonderful!

    I wanted to be a physical therapist when I was younger....but when I was 21 my brother had an accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury (bruised, damaged) that left him in a wheel chair for years then braces, a walker, a cane and finally walking. It took years of therapy to get him to that point. After watching that I could never do physical therapy....he endured such pain! Bless you that you do it though, because without people like you, where would he be??

    Thank you. But that is exactly why I do it - I love helping people. I spent many years working on a spinal cord injury team and in acute rehab. The joy that I get from watching someone take their first steps makes everything worth it. I am glad your brother is doing better now.

    I'm a Business Analyst. It's an IS/IT job where my role is to bridge the gap in understanding between how the business end of the company wants to to do their work and how the technical folks build the systems to get it done. It's a bit like translating Mom's general directive of "clean up your room" (the business folks) to the perspective of a 5-year-old - " first you put the Legos into the blue bin...."

    I love that description! Is it OK if I use it?

    I am a partner in a small Public Safety IT company and we regularly spend time understanding customer processes and translating them into really fine and sometimes life-saving software!

    :drinker: Thanks! Sure go ahead! The 'translation"' part is my favourite part of job - it's kind of how I fell into the BA role. Sounds like a neat company. I see you are in ON - Canadian company then?

    Yes! It's just my partner and I, but we are in a very specialized market and we are becoming reasonably well known - enough to pay our bills and keep us fed and clothed, at least. :happy:

    Realtors retire?? I didnt think it was possible! lol I have a few realtors that I work with that have been in the business for 40+ years and show no signs of ever retiring, and I have a couple others who "retired" a decade ago but always seem to have 2-3 listings going at any given time...

    I work for a large hospital in the radiology department as a transcriptionist, been there 10 years. I'm also a liason for the RIS department. We're developing a new RIS package and I could just strangle some of the "techs" from the Phillips co. :noway:

    I'm always grateful for my health and my family's health, after seeing so much disease and suffering of others.
