Occupations?

[Melody_lane]

What's your occupation?

I work in a doctor's office(a general practitioner) as a medical assistant (meaning I do EVERYTHING). I'm still in school and plan to continue my education in the medical field.

 

[Skibum]

I am a teacher by training, and a skibum by circumstances.

Im unfortunately a stockbroker. However I must say that beiung newly married, that being a housewife is so much more time and energy consuming

 

[SweetyPie]

I was a stay at home mommy until friday when I got a job as a dispatcher for a local EMS company. The guys lovingly call me the "phone bitch".

[alexandraaah]

I make my money by exploiting the financial aid department of my school and convincing rich people who are related to me to co sign signature loans.




I'm not very good at it, though.

I used to be head of a sixth form college (16-18), when they still existed. Then head of 11-15 school, which I ran in an unacceptable fashion as far as the Catholic Church was concerned - and then I was a Schools Inspector which compromised my basic principles - so for my own well-being I took very early retirement and work, in my own fashion, on human relations with alcoholics which does not pay, and with anyone who will pay.

My particular method is here, all in French;
http://www.j-salome.com

I would like to work with this method in English speaking countries since I miss about 30% of what people say in French. It still works though and they say it helps them relate better - which indicates how bad things must be in the first place.

This is something I feel I am happy never to retire from - I don't count it as work: it is an occupation.

 

[kotori]

I am an architect, but I haven't built anything in a while.

(And I'm looking, btw--so if anyone knows of a job. . .even if it does cut into my Lit time.)

 

[Allison484]

At this exact minute, I'm a work-at-home medical transcriptionist. However, I am looking for another job. I've been at home for about ten years and the isolation is getting to me. Feel the need to be around people again, mixing and mingling. Anyone know of an opening anywhere in DFW?

I'm in Benefits Communication. I spend alot of time speaking to employees about their benefits at work.

I know, I know - "insurance is boring" - but, honey, put me on a stage with a microphone, and we're gonna' have some FUN!!!!! (especially if I'm wearing my red suit and some HOT heels!)

It's alot of fun, and I'm pretty good at it. Of course, I don't get to perform everyday - most days, I'm doing the background work or - WORST OF ALL - making the sale. But watching the lightbulbs go off in someone's head when they finally understand what their 401k package can do for them is incredible!

I travel quite a bit, so.....I could be "Appearing in a town near you" someday.

 

[Horny Hippie Girl]

I work as a freelance body paint artist, I also do portraits and artistic renderings of the town I live in. Sell some on ebay also. My hubby works for a dot.com company and my girlfriend works in a nic-nac shop and is a freelance photo journalist.

 

[StondTmplPilot]

I make corrugated boxes...yowza

 

[Azwed]

Student, Mechanic, State employee, occasional shit stirer.

 

[marksgirl]

Well I had a great at home job until E-bay decided to put the screws to everyone again, so I said F--K it, so now I'm doing the freelance photography again, and I work part time helping teens get there shit together so they can go into the army, navy, school, etc...I really like that job, it's kind of like social work. I'm a mom, a cook, and a full time sex goddess!

 

[morninggirl5]

I'm a Kindergarten teacher. I have the absolute best job in the world. I start with students at all different levels and now, by the end of the year, i have a classroom full of readers and writers. And the very best part, THEY LIKE IT.

I'm the personal assistant to 7 time Supercross Champion Jeremy McGrath. I take care of his schedule to make sure that he gets to all of his appearances (autograph signings, press day and all personal appearances) on time. I deal with his sponsors in order to ensure that his gear and parts get to the designated race city. I handle all PR calls and publications. I travel 5 months out of the year to accompany him for race day. The only thing I don't do is making sure that he and his race team have appropriate accomodations for the weekend. There is someone else that does that.

Oh wait... I woke up. LOL... sorry. That was my dream job... that sounds more interesting than being an unemployed IT professional looking for a job.

 

[hornylady]

I'm a full-time mother of 3 children (7, 4 and 1), a freelance translator, and I spend quite a lot of time finding excuses not to do TOO much housework

 

[perks]

full time duckling supervisor, now.

occasionally get paid to draw something.
occasionally get paid to make chocolates, pastries.
occasionally create culinary training programs and manuals for restaurants

so I get to rear my daughter and do what I love to do when I feel like it. It's good work if you can get it.

 

[LukkyKnight]

I'm in Benefits Consumption. I spend alot of time speaking to my HR dept about why the dental plan isn't paying my dentist and such.

I know, I know - "HR people are boring" - but put me on a phone with an unpaid claim, and we're gonna' get some answers (especially if tswyk's wearing that red suit.)

Most days, I'm doing the real work or - WORST OF ALL - seeing the 401k plummet as the market wavers. But watching the buttons come off on the red suit is incredible!

I BS quite a bit, which is why I'm forced to work in the basement with the other mushrooms.
