The occupation poll.

I work full-time as a Zookeeper. ^-^

Wow, that's so cool!    I love visiting animal and bird parks, always so much to learn about the wonderful creatures we're lucky enough to share this planet with.   

I have a real soft spot for pelicans, plenty of wild ones in Florida but none here in the U.K. sadly.

I am in my first job out of university right now, full time. I can't believe I have been working for 2 years now! I am an aerospace engineer and work a lot with software. In my job I have to be able to understand all aircraft systems and to solve a variety of problems.

Woohoo, another aerospace engineering graduate

No option for self employed, eh?  Working an Etsy, eCrater, Ebid, Bonanza, and 4 eBay accounts pays my bills.  I don't think I could ever go back to the rat race.  I have become way to addicted to being answerable to no one but myself.

What do I pick if I'm at home and planning to return to study...? Though it's been frustrating, I applied in November last year only to be told my application is still pending... the course starts this month and I've now been told because they're being so slow that I may start later than that

I work part time at Goodwill in the warehouse, but I do a minimum 32 hours a week. I am also studying business externally. I really don't know what I really want to do in the future, I'd love to own my own business even if it was just a very small one along with me working as well. Or I'd love to become a business admin, I love wearing fancy clothing and looking professional, plus the work would be great.

I originally wanted to work with animals, but sadly it seems to be an impossible thing for me unless I start a small business to do with animals...

I'm going to school for biochemistry and work part-time at an icecream place for support until I hopefully find a "starter job" in my desired field. Thanks to working even at that little place, so far I made it through school debt-free but that'll change once I transfer.

On the flip side, I've had this part-time home business dream that I'm going to start this spring/summer and test the waters in (if it works- GOODBYE icecream place. That job really is taking it's toll on my body). I'm a bit torn really. My DREAM dream is to be a homemaker with children and I know nowadays one source of income from any potential future hubs cannot really be relied on. It'd be fab to have another source already established.

Maybe dorky to think like that, but I do want all possibilities covered.

Right now, school (college), but I am looking slowly for part time work.

[Bee-chan]

Part time grocery clerk / cashier.

Full time freelance illustrator / self taught graphic designer ( more of an illustrator, though. Must teach myself InDesign still. ).

And I take care of 90% of the household billing and paperwork.

Yes, I'm kind of that option too.

I work full time as a regional manager (or area manager depending on who you talk to) for a pet supply chain. I have a base store that I work mostly in and I also work as that sites in store manager. We specialise in dog and cat nutrition and I spend a portion of my time talking to people about what they feed their pets and advising accordingly. I'm also an SQP (qualified to sell certain restricted animal medicines) and a microchipper. Unfortunately a fair bit of my job is admin based too so I spend a fair bit of time managing staff (rotas, hiring and firing etc), looking after store KPI's, staff training and ensuring the stores are doing what they should. It is not exactly the easiest of jobs but does have its rewards!!

Part time USPS and yes, may be getting even more PT come August .  I also work here on our farm but it doesn't pay money.

[Claro]

I'm a digital journalist, webmaster, social media person, analytics analyst (yes, that sounds funny). And I love my job, but I'd pay a kidney to work in another country. Preferably in the southern American states or Sweden.

I've returned to ebay too this year.  Thin out some of my stash and collectables.  It goes to my kitchen account.  I'd like to have one before I die .

[bewilderness]

Disabled and not able to work right now but I desperately hope that changes one day.  I'd like to do network administration, computer programming, and/or graphic arts.
