    Esthetician! I love it.

    Before that I was a CNA for 4 years, and I loved it and hated it at the same time.

    Skin care is definitely my calling now.

    I may do something later in life or end up opening a spa with my husband who is a massage therapist.

    I used to be a marketing director for a bank and a college instructor...then I went back to work on my PhD. Not finishing that...can't stand the 300 mile commute to class and can't move. Now I am bartending full-time and doing * rather well* on many fewer hours per week but miss the intellectual challenge and benefits of my previous jobs.

    I bake. Off to get my hands in the flour just now, actually! Have a good day, everyone!

    I LOVE baking. Are you self-employed? I would love to open a cupcake shop of my own someday.

    I'm a mortuary affairs officer for the Army. I get to take care of all the fallen ones. Very depressing job, but very rewarding at the end. I get to send them home looking their best!

    I admire you !

    I'm retired; worked 23 years as a Child Support Tech for the State of Texas Attorney General's Office. So happy to be retired!

    Would you do it all over again if you could, or choose something different?

    I am a pharmacy clerk at Lewis Family Drug for about 30 hours a week and am doing a full credit load of online classes. I am currently double majoring in Psychology/Sociology with a minor in Criminal Justice, but I'm actually pretty much undecided.

    *Sorry for all of the questions for everybody. I am very undecided about a career and love getting everybody's input on different jobs.
