I work in the medical records department for a huge cardiovascular group. I also do a lot of the IT work for the company. And I take 2 or 3 classes every semester.
 
I own a small home bakery. I do wedding cakes, birthday cakes, cookies ect. Soon I hope to start doing catering too. I am also a stay at home mom of three kids ages 7,5 and 1. I love my job because I can be home with my kids and still make money on the side
 
I'm a professional chinchilla watcher. I sit and stare at chinchillas that won't have their babies. I'm also the chins-n-hedgies chat room "filler". When no one else is there, you bet your booty I am! :neener:

I'm usually a full time student, but it's hard with a 150mile commute each way. I drive down on Monday and stay with my parents through the week. Before moving out here I was a veterinary technician at a small dog/cat hospital for 3 years and I'm not looking into a job with the Bureau of Land Management since we're a navy base town out here and only the people working for BLM seem happy with their jobs. Plus...I'd get to play with mustangs. :D

Hahaa... Good that you are here all the time :thumbsup:
I am a litigation attorney in Washington, DC. I have just finished a massage therapy school of 18 months recently, to which I had been going at night. I am not sure if I am gonna practice massage part-time after taking the National Certification Exam. But, I sure give my chins relaxing (mmmmmm) massages.
 
I am a licensed hairdresser but after I moved to Ohio I couldn't make commission doing hair anymore. Salons are really hurting right now in this recession.
Recently I was hired back by my old employer, Sally Beauty Supply. I worked there 3 years ago and it was my fav job.
 
I just finished my 32nd year as a teacher. (Yes, Peggy, I know I'm old!)

I spent 28 years as a library/media specialist and am about to start my 5th year teaching third grade. I love my job!

I am also the chief bargainer for my union and the chairperson of our regional union bargaining group. I have been doing all of the scheduling for the elementary buildings. I'm also in charge of our summer school program which starts on Monday. I have 289 kids registered, with programs in three buildings!

I also am very busy at my Church. I chair our administrative board and serve on two committees. I'm also in charge of our biggest fund raiser (The Potato Tent) and very involved in our second biggest project.

Oh- and I have approx. 250 chins.

I've been working for the same "boss" for over 25 years. Started out as the receptionist at a commercial real estate development company in Chicago. Still working for the same boss who has now had his own commercial real estate brokerage company for the last 17 years, I have several titles; office manager, administrative assistant, marketing director, accountant, property manager and best of all gal friday! I've been working 4 days a week since having my kids and when they are in school, I help out with marketing/advertising my husband's gym.
 
My family owns an Auto, Residential & Commercial Glass & Automotive Accessories Company in the central Jersey area. I have worked here on & off since high school but steady for the last 10 years. I do the payroll for 50 employees, Accounts Payable 7 the Marketing & Advertising (which I have a BS in Business & Marketing).

I am also a part owner in a Used Auto business that I run with my dad, brother & one other person. I usually do the DMV work.

I also occassionally teach Scrapbook classes and do some petsitting.

I'm a Instructional Biology Lab Assistant. I set up all of the labs and prepare all of the media, cells, and material that the students have to use for their courses. I'm trying to find something in animal husbandry but like Alli said, its competitive. To help with that I've started volunteering at the Stanislaus Wildlife Care Center and I LOVE it! It just doesn't pay the bills. :(
 
I'm a full time college student plus I work with developmentally disabled adults, intern as a counselor at a drug rehab facility, and volunteer as a trauma counselor and victim advocate- yeah I'm pretty busy lol
 
I am a full time college student, getting my BS in Animal Science (technically pre-vet but I decided long ago not to go that route). Once I graduate after next semester, I'm applying to clinical lab science programs so I can do the diagnostic lab work in hospitals.

During summers and winters I have been working full time with a research group on campus. Our research focuses on emergency response to poultry crises such as avian influenza outbreak.
 
I have BS in Mathematics education (was gonna teach but with all that controversay and pay cuts in the states i decided not to pursue that, plus i dont like kids) So I work as a temp. I work at various different companies and get to meet all sorts of people and learn my way around my new home in vancouver. Currently I am working for Toyota credit as a credit investigator. I like it and I hope they keep me! I also go to school two nights a week, I am trying to become an accountant!!
