    Wellness Coach promoting health and wellness initiatives to varied corporations to help control their healthcare costs and promote healthy behavior change patterns. I absolutely love my job....it's not a job, it's an adventure because it's one person at a time and not an overnight epiphany...it is a process to make the changes.

    Self employed. Own a NAPA Auto Parts store. Today I loved it. Tomorrow I will probably hate it and spend my afternoon wondering why I decided it was a good idea to buy a business.

    Stay-at-home Mum to our five children (3 at school, one preschooler and one toddler).

    Yep I like it, though it is a bit dull same-y sometimes so I set myself mini challenges, eg learn to knit, learn to plaster (we're perpetual renovators), study the world map etc.

    I've been looking at jobs lately though, thinking of studying nursing once my youngest is in school.

    My husband is a high voltage electrician, it's crazy hours in often crazy weather and hazardous situations but he loves it!

    I am a Registered Nurse in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at a Children's Hospital, part time. I absolutely love my job, the patients, and most of the families. I am also a mom full time and I also love that job but it's nice to get out and have adult interaction.

    I'm an online English tutor (reading/lit, writing, grammar, resume help) for grade school through grad school + adult learners who need job placement help. I enjoy it and it's so great when I can actually see something clicking with one of my students. Yesterday a student told me "I wish my tutors in every subject were as good as you." Awwww!

    I also do daycare for my nephs and sell my handmade soaps and other bath and body goodies and make custom quilts to order.

    My grandparents owned NAPA store(s) for awhile! And then my mom had a Coast to Coast hardware store.

    I'm a waitress at Cracker Barrel and Friendly's. I would have to say that since I have been a waitress for 25 years I must like it or be gluten for punishment. It could be both.

    I work for the County- Treasurer-Tax Collector collecting property taxes and dealing with *kitten* on the phone all day long. Do I love it? No. Do I love the people I work with? Yes.

    It all balances out.

    I manage the Lifecycle of IT assets for a large company. I am also responsible for our SOX program, aka, government grant for consultants. I hate it. I hate everything about it. I'm pretty much miserable. But, it pays well.
