    so... what do you do in the world and do u like/love it?
    Im a professional visual artist and i exhibit regularly and have my own business and yep i love it

    I'm a police officer, and if I didn't love it I wouldn't do it.

    The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that people who are not police officers honestly have no freakin' idea of what we do and don't do, so they judge us by what fanatics on the interwebz say, or by what some dumb *kitten* TV show portrays.

    haha ... agreed I am a LE dispatcher!

    Veterinarian ... retired after 23 years (19 owned my own practice). Sold it in Colorado and moved to Arizona. Absolutely LOVED surgery (especially orthopedics and reconstructive). :happy: Didn't like working with some people, but for the most part they were terrific - they really cared about their furries. Business side was not for me. :noway:

    I am a high school band director. I love the kids and creating music, but I do hate how ignorant and stupid administrators are these days. It's all about sports and screw the music (music doesn't bring home trophies o.O), BUT that is the ONLY downside of my job. I love what I do!

    Pardon the type casting...but as a band nerd myself and a mother of a band nerd.....THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!! Music is important in every child's education. The fight for music education has been an ongoing issue for years. I am still amazed that it has continued on this long. There are countless studies that show a child with a musical education does better in math and science then a child without such education.

    I'm an accounting major with my bachelors just about done along with wanting to continue on and get my CPA/Masters.

    I currently work for my state monitoring accounting data in a mainframe environment making sure it runs successfully. You could call it IT/Accounting. I love it! I hope to move up in this agency doing more IT/accounting type work and maybe management stuff when I get more education under my belt.

    I'm a full time executive assistant for the best team in my company (I might be a little biased, though :)). I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I work with incredible people and I never live the same day twice! :)

    I'm also an independent consultant for Pampered Chef. I enjoy the parties and meeting people and I really love the free stuff I earn! :)

    I'm also currently looking for a bartending gig. I love the idea of meeting new people and making money at the bar instead of spending it... Especially with Back to School and Christmas around the corner. :)

    I'm an EDI data analyst for a health care company. I mostly work with insurance companies and government programs and set them up to make all payments and send patient info electronically. Then I have to audit to make sure all that info will flow through our software to our patient files correctly.

    I like it alot. I have a really great boss, but it's not my dream job.

    Registered Nurse
    Use to love it, not so much any more

    This.

    I worked labor & delivery for 8 years. I thought it was my dream job. It wasn't. Now I'm in healthcare IT working with electronic medical records and it's only slightly better.

    Unfortunately, I need to make X amount of money and the stuff I like to do won't cut it.

    An electronic medical records trainer. I haven't actually gotten to the "training" part yet, we're stil building and installing the new system. So right now it's just a confusing cluster and I'm not loving it. But I think once I get to the real training I will like it more. I'm good in front of crowds and classrooms :smile:

    I'll do this until I find a way to make serious cash playing with dogs all day.

    I'm currently a project manager in telecom, but I'm in school for psychology. I have about 3 semesters left to get my bachelors and then I'll go to graduate school for rehabilitation counseling. My ultimate goal is to be a therapist in private practice, probably focusing on issues in the Queer community, especially transgendered people (I'm straight but have always been around the GLBT community). I can't wait to be doing something I REALLY want to do, not just what pays the bills :)

    Between a 3 class load at school, working full time Monday through Friday, my three fur kids, friend and family, vounteer work with Lost N Found (queer homeless youth shelter in Atlanta) and my recent refocus on my own health, I am a busy girl! Now if I could just find a guy I would be totally exhausted :flowerforyou:

    I am a forever student it seems. I have been in postsecondary education since 2004 and am on track to finish my Master's in Educational Counselling by the end of the summer/early fall.

    Job-wise I currently work as a Student Support Advisor and Special Projects Coordinator at a large university in Canada. I absolutely love it and am sad that it's only a contract. Very much hoping to extend the contract or make the job permanent as soon as possible.

    Primary focus is to defend my thesis and graduate ASAP...

    I work for a company that handles communications equipment for major brand name stores. REALLY hate it. I'm actually waiting on a call from a company with which I interviewed last week, to make a total career shift. Hoping to give my notice here this week.

    I also work part-time at the football stadium in my area on game days. Love that!

    I hear you on that one! The general public has no clue what a nurse really does and is responsible for. No idea... at all!]

    I'm only a law student right now, but I have a summer internship at l'Agence du Revenu du Québec (that'd be the equivalent to the US's IRS).

    I love the Law, but I still dream of becoming a pharmacist some day....I just don't have the grades nor the money right now...
