    Cds worker with mentally challenged seniors mostly although I have worked with younger individuals who have brain injuries. I took this job 6 years ago because I wanted to help people and yes it is rewarding but it can also be very stressful.

    I'm a male stripper, money hasn't been that good, considering the way I currently look, so I'm changing to sales.

    I'm in medical billing, have been since my first job (part-time, nights) when I was 16. People have told me to get certification for coding (I'd make more money) but frankly I'm getting tired of it. Sitting in front of a computer all day long, submitting claims and dealing with irate patients on the phone. I'd rather be doing something more creative.

    What I really should do is finish my novel that I started many moons ago. That's my dream - to be a successful published author of fiction and (gasp) poetry. But they say, print is dead. What to do, what to do...


    @Divadivax - your great-grandfather is 102? Did I read that right? WOW.

    I develop performance textiles...

    That's awesome! Maybe you make what I sell?

    I went to school for English and taught high school for a few years. Now I manage my fiance's outdoor shop. The stress levels have gone down and the fun has gone way up. I love my job and the benefits of meeting amazing athletes, sales reps, do gear testing, and being able to go climb/hike/run just about whenever.

    teach high school Spanish
    This is my 5th year and Ilike it about 95% of the time.
    I like that even if you have a horrific day, the next day might turn out to be the best day ever :)

    Stay at home mom, and CEO of our household. Before this, I worked in an auto repair shop. My real dream was always to train horses and teach people to ride. Its kinda sidelined now with a toddler and another baby on the way! I can still dream though.

    I'm an undergrad student right now majoring in psychology. After grad school I want to be a marriage and family counselor. I love psychology, and I can't wait to be done with school and actually doing a job I love.

    Don't shortchange yourself, person who is 50! I am 50 also, and am just finishing a job I had for 17 years, and am working on a graduate degree and started a small company, and consult for others--I think that anyone at any age can change their situations for the better. Some jobs are not glamourous, but they can pay the bills, like using your experience to help others--good luck.

    Right now I'm trying to get ready to go to uni and figure out what I wanna do for the rest of my life. (No pressure)
    I'm kinda having trouble choosing just one thing since there are a lot of things I'd like to do. I think I might try to be an animator since everyone in my family has been telling me since I was a kid I have real talent in artistic things, and I am pretty good I think, so it might be worth a shot. However I was just wondering what some of you guys might do for a living and if you enjoy it, if you'd change it, whatever! Picking a job is kinda a necessity for everyone, eh?

    Lol probably not any help but I make my living in the United States Air Force....and love it
