What do you do for a living?
I am a photographer (part time), a mother (full time), and an artist.
If you have a college degree, does it pertain to your current job, if not, what was your major in college?
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography, and though I use my art training in my job to set me apart from my colleagues and competition, it's not necessary. I was also a biochemistry and neuroscience major, but I abandoned those degrees 7/8ths of the way through.
Do you like your job?
I do. I love the flexibility, the work, the process. Being a mom is very challenging, but my son is the most wonderful thing I've ever done.

1. What do you do for a living? Currently I am a domestic engineer.....mom of 2 elementary school age kids (my baby is in Kindergarten this year! Daughter is in 5th grade.) I run the household. Make sure everybody is where they are supposed to be.....I am the taxi driver / family social directer. But I don't bring in any money.
I also have free time for volunteer activities.
2. If you have a degree does it pertain to current job? What was your major in college? I have a degree in elementary education with my minor in early childhood. Believe it or not my education has helped me out a lot with my children. More than I ever dreamed it would. I just went to college to please my parents. I didn't know what I wanted to do. I still don't. Everybody thought that I am good with kids so I went elementary ed. It was an easy degree for me to get and at the time it was enjoyable. But student teaching was another story. It wasn't anything like I thought it was going to be. I felt like I was back in school again and I found myself watching the clock miserable feeling like I was in jail. So, unfortunately......I have never really used my degree. My favorite job I have had is working in a public library setting. For 5 years in Virginia I worked in a law library. I loved it. I also had a little side job going around updating law firms private libraries. I have been told that if I ever want to go back to work.....there are libraries here that would take me in a heartbeat. But then I would have to fight heavy traffic. And I would have to put my kids in before and after school care. Naw!!!! Maybe I will substitute teach next school year just to see if my feelings have changed about teaching. It is better pay than anything else I can do, I am sure.
Where my education has really come in handy has been with my son. He was born low birthweight and he had some issues. (He threw up every single day for 3 years) So I have had nutritionists, speech pathologists and occupational therapists at my house each one twice a month. Plus I had him in a mothers day out program since he was 6 weeks old till he went to Kindergarten. My son has always kept me busy. It has been a long hard road......And it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I just don't see how parents do it when they have a child with any form of problems if they have had to go through as much crap as I have had to go through. It is like the blind leading the blind. Anyways at least I feel like I have a leg up. I know the right channels to go through. And I will fight for my child. He will not fall into the cracks as long as I have breath in my body.
3. Do you like your job? Of course. There isn't any place I would rather be. It gives me free time to enjoy volunteer social activities.

What do you do for a living?
I'm a Chef, though now the family business is being sold as Mum and Dad go into retirement, I'm in the process of setting up my own business and training to be a proofreader and copy-editor. I'm tired of Chef work, long hours, stressful, although well paid.
If you have a college degree, does it pertain to your current job, if not, what was your major in college?
I have a 2:1 BA in English Literature and Cultural and Community studies, no good for Cheffing, but great for the copy-editing.
Do you like your job?
I have loved it, but time to move on!

What do you do for a living?
I'm a technical sales rep for a big blue IT corporation.
If you have a college degree, does it pertain to your current job, if not, what was your major in college?
I started out in chemical engineering, mostly because they were the highest-paid right out of school. I got through two years before admitting that my love of abstract math and science didn't translate well at all into the process-oriented tedium of engineering. I spent a year in biomedical science, thinking I'd go for an MD. Then I got sick of being in school and switched to MIS.
Do you like your job?
I love it. I get to travel around the country to be a demo-dolly, schmooze customers and convince them to buy my shit.

I left US last year making a mint, but tired of the bullshit, material things, and GWB! Moved to Costa Rica in my early 30's and opened a bar.... sometimes I miss the US, but mostly friends and family. THATS IT! Great place here. (and I hardly make what I did in US and work more, but its worth it)
Oui je suis francophone. Et je n'avais jamais remarqué que tu étais francophone mais c'est marqué dans ton profil aussi. Et bon, tu deviens plus beau mec au cause de ça. Avais-tu habité en France aussi?
industrial rope access(hanging from a rope doing repairs to high rise buildings, bridges ect) no love my job but you have to be a bit crazy to do it.

Pourquoi y at-il tant de personnes qui parlent français ici? Vous aussi Simcha?

Oui, j'ai vécu en France pendant quelque temps et au Québec pendant quelques mois.
Le français, c'est ma passion dans la vie et du coup je vis la langue jour et nuit. Mais voilà il me manque une seule chose: un compagnon avec qui je puisse parler français 24/7.
Je suis encore plus sexy dans le fait que je parle français? Que tu en sois le juge!:tongue:
Tu écris assez bien le français. Si j'habitais près de toi, on pourrait bien se mettre ensemble pour parler français , et puis je corrigerais bien toutes tes fautes de langue si tu veux... plus si affinités...:biggrin1:
