Your occupation- what do you do for a living?

[nhal039]

I am a stay at home mum now but the bulk of my previous jobs have all been in tourism working as a tour guide, kayak guide, bus driver for a tourism company... lots of fun stuff anyway :  )

I am a second hand dealer. I work with my brother in the family business.  We restore furniture and sell books, records and TOYS

I just got my associates degree in Science, specializing in Medical Administrative Assistant, got board certified and all that fun junk, as of July.
For the last year, I have been a Walmart cashier, I make jokes that I get to wear the straight jacket while attending the circus while I am there. It's in the heart of a tourist area and people come from miles to shop at this particular Walmart because it's the best in the area. I honestly enjoy the job, but its wearing thin on my body, I have a bad back.
I was just hired by a company that will require me to travel around the US. I am super excited about that! It would be great if I had time to meet pony folks while I was traveling, but I don't think I will have time. They said my first location for training will be in Michigan sometime at the end of the month or early October.  I just hope they send me a schedule soon, I am tired of Wacky Walmart.

Currently I am working as a researcher at the University of Iceland, basically, they are paying me to do my master's thesis in Environmental Science. After I'm done, I'm not sure if I will go for PhD studies in Environmental Science or if I will attempt to get another bachelor's - I'd love to study law (I already have a lot of knowledge in environmental law) but for that I need to get my Icelandic to a pretty good level. I am also toying with the idea of going to the med school.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm institutionalised to study rather than work :S so I take odd jobs here and there while I'm still studying.

Litigation defense (er... for a biiiiig company)- I guess what I DO isn't actually boring so much as aggravating-  but it does sound so every-day compared to falconer, print production artist, mysterious CIA accountant...

I'm sitting here at work (15 minute break!) and just  at the CIA accountant- as I'm assuming that's directed at me!

Nothing that crazy... I do have to maintain a clearance for my job though.

Let's just say I get to see how much money goes where and when (among other things)! I also get to bang my head on my desk and the wall when Congress doesn't do anything (most of the time) or goes on "recess"! The next month is going to be insane for me since it's end of the '13 fiscal year and beginning of the '14 fiscal year!

I'm currently doing an MA in Art History, which is taking up most of my time!

Do you have a specific interest/period? I did Medieval Studies and minored in Religious Art, so interesting 

My thesis focuses on contemporary art photography by women (specifically depictions of girlhood and how it intersects with cinema). Outside of my thesis I love photography of most styles and the rest of the art I truly love is from the Modern era on (even post modern and contemporary). Definitely looked at some religious art in my undergrad though! Definitely interesting.

I love the topic of your thesis! Sounds super interesting

One of my favourite museums over here has a 'from Jesus to G-sus' exhibition. It's sooooo cool.

I also tutor several students: currently teaching Dutch, English, German, Latin and Greek.

Now, let's hear from you guys I hope you will share!

Woah, so many languages!  I'm jealous!

I'm a falconer! Our center does bird rehab and education as well. I love it

I'm such a language nerd, haha. Besides Dutch and English of course I've taken German and French in school and studied Latin, Greek, Old Irish and Middle Welsh. I'm crazy like that

I looove your job too though! Sounds amazing, I didn't know that was still a profession (forgive my ignorance, it's just sounds so deliciously medieval!)

I'm a PhD student, but technically I could be working as a Fisheries Biologist with my M.S... Soon I'll be Dr. Sunshine Fishy McPonypants

PLEASE oh please get your name changed to this when you get your PhD!!!!!

My husband's job is more interesting than mine... but it's classified so I'm not even sure what it is.

I'm unemployed at the moment due to anxiety and agoraphobia issues, but I'm hopeful I'm starting to feel better and maybe ready to look for a job soon

[achab1984]

I work as a Mental Health Aid. Or you can call me a CNA. I work in a mental hospital.  Its very hard work and can be dangerous sometimes. I have gotten hurt many times and have a bad back now cause of it. But I do enjoy it most of the time and I am paid good

I have an MA in book & digital media studies and I'm now an editor at Nederlab! Nederlab is a new project which aims to connect all digitized Dutch works (think old newspapers, magazines, books etc.) from loads of different parties so that researchers and students can actually search through all of them in one go, instead of having to go to loads of different sites.
My job is to edit the data on titles and authors and to make sure that all the different databases are linked together properly. It's not the most thrilling job, but I love working on the project and my colleagues are amazing ^^

Housewife

[fiwen30]

My job title is sales assistant, but my duties are that of an assistant manager. I work in part time in a charity shop, and do every task from cleaning to banking! I've been there for a year now, and I love it

For the future, I'm torn between finding a second job to shoulder more of the house expenses with my husband, going to unversity to study fine art, or making a real go with my Etsy shop as a side business, on my way to being self employed. Thankfully I'm only 23 so, all things willing, I'll have many more years left to decide!
