    I've always been extremely fascinated by the mechanics of the human body and getting to peek inside and see first hand how things work...I can't even explain how awesome that is!

    Yah, I know what you mean. When I first started doing cardiac nursing, they required us to watch a CABG surgery. There is nothing more awe-inspiring than seeing a beating heart inside a person's open chest. Then watching them STOP it and START it again....wow. Fascinating is right!

    I own my own shop in a small village in Italy. I sell a little bit of everything from household items, toys, jewelry, lottery tickets, fireworks, photo frames, mirrors.....anything I find that I like.

    I love having my own business. I can take my daughter to work with me. She has her own little space where she can do her homework after school and her own space outside where she can play. :smile:

    That sounds like a fun job!

    I visited the career center last year for resume advice and found out that I'm really what's called "avocational"
    I want to be a lady of leisure! :laugh: :laugh:

    That's what I am - or as I say it "a kept woman"

    I am a SAHM and daycare provider for 3 others kids. Prior to moving to Canada I worked at a day program/school for mentally and physically handicapped adults, as well as a PA for the mentally and physically handicapped adults, going into their homes and helping them with things they or their family could not achieve on their own, from personal hygiene to companionship. I LOVED my job and still miss "my guys". Right before I moved we decided to open up a daycare for children with disabilities as well and I was to head that department. At 19 yrs old that was a HUGE accomplishment for me. Then I moved to Canada to be with my hubby got pregnant within a month and have been an at home mommy since.

    Right now I stay at home with my kiddos, but I'm sure I'll have to be returning to work soon blah! I work at a call centre taking catalogue orders, but hope to find something a bit more substantial before I return there! I only have 6 months maternity leave left and it's just never enough time! This is why I fully encourage my kids when it comes to school, I always tell them they don't want something that doesn't satisfy them!

My husband mostly runs it but I do a few things here and their, we have an intern so whenever he needs me to do admin stuff I do. My husband is also a police officer who works night for the time being so, I do everything. I have done may things and I can say the only one I love is what I am doing right now.
    My sister in law is going to be 13 this year and her parents work till 6 she's into sports and youth group so I am sure once school starts back up I am going to be a shopher(spelling???).

    I use to be a weight loss counselor (I managed 3 stores) I loved helping with weight loss but I will never do it agian. I have also worked in daycare, I would love to watch a few kids in my home but I don't want to do it in a daycare setting, the kids don't get the one- on-one care they need.

I don't have any desire yet to retire and I plan on working at least 6-10 more years before I retire. My husband is a high school history and psychology teacher and just retired from being a boys basketball coach a year ago.

    My first job is MOM, Then WIFE, Then SURGICAL TECH/SURGERY ASSISTANT :happy:

    I LOVE my job as a ST! I get to scrub and work hand and hand with the surgeons. I've always been extremely fascinated by the mechanics of the human body and getting to peek inside and see first hand how things work...I can't even explain how awesome that is! :happy:
    It really is a great job!
    My favorites are OB/GYN, Podiatry/Ortho and General. Neurology us to be one of my #1 favorites, but all the Neuro surgeons left our town :frown:
    Kel~ :flowerforyou:

    I'm a surgical technologist also!!! How strange... Usually people look at me like I have 3 heads when I tell them my job title! I don't usually meet many other ST's!

    I work in Labor and Delivery, have for the past 5.5 years. I'm also a nursing student (hence the name).
