What Does everyone do for a living?
I am just wondering what everyone on here does to earn a living? I know what Comic does and I know how much he hates it 
, but what does everyone else do?
I work for a software company and I do all of their accounting/finances, advertising, trade show maintenance, etc, etc, etc! I really like my job and the people I work for are wonderful. They let me work part-time so I can be with my daughter and they also let me work from home on some days. They are very good to me. I feel very fortunate to have this job.

I work as an office manager at a car audio shop. I love my job, not only do I do all the accounting, ordering, and handling of just about everything. LOL.. But where else can i work and get to listen to all kinds of music at the same time.
I'm also a Reiki Master/Teacher but I'm just trying to build a client base so I'll just have to see how that goes. It would be nice to be able to switch careers in the future.
I have a friend who's dad is a Reiki Master and he loves it.
I did self study on aquatic entomology. I found it fascinating.
I got into it because I am a fly fisherman.
I was a medical technologist for over 23 yr.s
I performed all kinds of lab testing in large hospitals, the last being at 'The Detroit Medical Center' Detroit, Michigan.
I resigned from that occupation and am very close to an Associate Degree in Accounting.
I work for a small accounting firm now. :wavey:
I do not equate making money with living life, BUT since money is indespensible I of course work wherever employment is available
Currently I work at a bagelry (a place where bagels are made/sold). I open in the morning on some days and I janitor on others. Before that I worked at the Detroit Athletic Club as a busser/waiter, Strategic Protections as a security guard, Value World as a stock person/janitor, Hi-tech Coatings as an unloader of a parts painting machine, Nitro-vac as a heat treater (my favorite job ever!), and Robbins CPR as a payphone builder (the handset part w/ the cord).
man i need a car
Oh to be young again !
i'm an acupuncturist
Next year I am hoping to attain my diploma in massage and do that from home so I don't have to put my Bridie in day care:)
Elohim you have a lot of jobs! Do you ever forget where you are meant to be? Man, I would...
That is where I worked, UHC at the DMC 3rd floor
Virology, Serology, Chemistry. Different shifts over the years.
E-mail me your wifes name if it is not too personal.

So your work with the United States government?
I also forgot a few jobs. I was a valet driver at a topless bar, and I was an employee of Arbors, before the switch to CVS. I think practically everyone I went to high school with worked at Arbors at one point!
I get bored easily. I like to learn new things.
For all techies, please PM for career advice =(
Well, since everyone is posting what they do for a living, I will do the same. I am a full-time student that will graduate at the end of the Winter Quarter in 2006. I will have my Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration (emphasis in Management). I also work part-time at an MCL Cafeteria here in Anderson, Indiana. Believe it or not, I just got this job after being unemployed since January of 2003. That is how BAD the job economy is here. I like it at MCL because the clientele is mostly senior citizens and the hours are great---11 am to 8:30 pm Monday through Saturday and 11 am to 6:30 pm on Sunday.

Well, I decided I needed to update my information after I got another job. I am also working for a company that offers DSL support to its customers. I am considered a tier 2 technician and I help customers to be able to access their DSL connection properly. It has its good points and its bad points like any other job. For the most part, people are very courteous and well-mannered but occasionally, there are those customers who can be very rude and demanding and sometimes it is all I can do to maintain my composure and continue to be courteous in return. Luckily, I don't have that many of them. I am also now in my final quarter of college and I will be SO glad to be done with school! LOL!

But the time that stays in my mind as one of the strangely wonderful time was when I was at uni in France, on a small travelling schoilarship. I ran out of money and was confronted with not being able even to get food. I decided to spend my last few francs on a decent meal. There was a little restaurant that I had found, round the back of the pompes funebres (undertakers) where there was a good, cheap, fixed-price menu. Arriving early, having had a drink and waiting for the meal to be ready, I dozed off. When I woke up, I found that the place was full - of blonde women! They turned out to be the local prostitutes who used this restaurant before starting work.
We got talking, as you do, and, with their help, I became a sex worker for the next 6 weeks before coming back to England. It was a real revelation and I thank whatever karma led me to it.
So, now, when I am called "bastard" or "whore", I can say, with pride, that I have papers to prove the first is true, and memories to prove the second, too!
At least I didn't have to dye my hair blonde, like the 'girls'.
HAHAHAHA! Now that's funny!
At other times, it is just like any other job, especially when you are going to lectures during the day!
And, yes, Simon I too am a bit shocked. I would NEVER had thought!!
What did I do?
What is so shocking? Prostitution is the only recourse for thousands of men and women in a society that marginalises sex workers but, at the same time, uses them. It's only an exchange of resources, unless, of course, we deify or demonise sexual acts.
In some parts of the world, people get paid for giving blood to blood banks. Elsewhere, money changes hands for kidneys and other scarce transplant organs. And people marry for money - which is legitimised prostitution.
I find this far more shocking than sex work. But I also understand that our society is deeply anti-sex, being, essentially, anti-life. The idea that a person who, today, can be respected or loved can have actions in their past which are uncomfortable could be taken as normal but is seen as not-OK. Politicians have their childhoods and adolescence searched for "sin", "wickedness", "criminality" to discredit them.
Me, I would rather have elected representatives, spiritual leaders, teachers, therapists, etc. who have had a taste of hell rather than some purer-than-pure individual who has never known despair and guilt.
Stranger: "And what do you do?"
Me: "I'm retired."
Stranger: "OK but what did you do?" (this is just so annoying because it reduces us to our job)
Me: "I used to be a rent boy."
Especially good a posh dinner parties.
