    I'm a stay at home mom, lead a couponing group at church (teach classes on it as well), and sing and play piano in the praise and worship band each Sunday. I love being home with my kids and watching them grow.

    I work in events management for a non-corporate organisation. The best part of my job is that I have about 4 really good friends here and we all have loads of fun.

    I'm a Set Decoration Coordinator/Production Assistant for movies and TV shows. Best part of my job is working with super creative and talented people, many whose work I've admired since I was a kid growing up watching movies! And of course the getting to see celebrities thing can be a perk at times, depending on who it is. :laugh:

    Soo many interesting and varied careers on here! I love it. :drinker:

    That would be so cool! I always find myself in tears when I watch the "birthing shows" on TV.

    I used to do PA work and some production coordinator/director work. Challenging and fun (and I agree about it being cool to see people whose work you've admired for years), but insanely stressful!!!

    It is definitely amazing to see the diversity of work out there...and see so many people who like their job! So different than how the media portrays us all as pointless cubicle dwellers...

    I'm a bookstore manager. I'm basically my own boss, which rocks most of the time. There's only 2 volumes in my store; SUPER busy or SUPER slow. I love my job, but it's not my passion. I'd eventually like to make it back to school for a field like marine biology or maybe veterinary to work with animals. I worked in a pet hotel for a mere 3 months and had the time of my life. <3
    Oh! I'm also a certified pharmacy technician but decided it was too boring for me.

    I currently have two jobs at the moment. I work at Best Buy as a Sales Operator [ we answer 98% of the calls that come into the Best Buy store] and a Teller at Wells Fargo. Lately I prefer Wells Fargo because I working with more polite customers and I am standing so I don't feel as lazy :P

    I'm an "Information Assurance Professional" within the government. Think computer/information security on steroids. Best part...where I work...nothing. I'd rather be in the commercial/private sector actually helping families and small businesses. I see far too many of them ripped off or taken advantage of because no one is there to help/educate them on information security. All the "experts" are working for the big corporations with the money to pay them. I'd really rather be there for the 'little guy'.

    --MR

    P.S. if you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message. I'd love to help if I can!

    Yeah it's SUPER stressful... I have been off for a few months since my last job. I really needed a break. It's tough work, and no one understands unless they've worked in the industry.

    I'm an archivist -- I do a lot of work preserving things and digitizing them. It's extremely easy going and it just fits me -- if you told me I'd be doing this when I was in college, though, I wouldn't have believed it.. I get to see and learn about neat things, make information accessible to people, and fulfill my vow of not working in the for profit sector :smile:

    The main thing that takes up my time outside of work (and that I'd love to do full time if $ wasn't an issue) is my web site - I document buildings and houses in Houston -- a lot of midcentury stuff lately but I'm game for anything (it also includes a bit of trespassing and decaying old buildings before they're torn down which can be fun but nasty :sick: )..

    4 Questions:

    1) Have I seen you on Lock Up Raw? Me and the Mrs used to watch every Saturday night until she got tired of it (I still watch it after she goes to sleep)

    2) Do dudes really get raped?

    3) Ever met any mobsters?

    4) How much are cigarettes going for these days?

    I'm a graphic designer and the highlights of my job are:

    1. Being able to wear headphones all day
    2. Being able to wear shorts and flip-flops to work
    3. Not having to cover any of my tattoos or piercings
    4. Seeing things I have created in stores like Target and Wal-Mart.

    All in all... I love my job!

    I work at a Middle School as an Instructional Assistant in a Special Education classroom, and every day those children make me smile.
    I'm also a cheerleading coach for CMS, those girls are full of life and keep me feeling young... and I wouldn't change it!

    On the weekends I'm a caregiver for mentally/physically challenged adults and though it's stressful at times, I'm glad to be helping those who need it.
