Another private question, if you don't mind my being nosy:) . Initially I wanted to make a poll out of this, but it's quite impossible to list all kinds of jobs, so there's no poll:( .
Me first:) . I'm a teacher of English as a foreign language in gymnasium, which is something like a junior high school. I teach 12 to 15 year olds. I like my job, but boy, is it tiresome!:)

Actor (or actress for those who are nervous around gender neutral terms ;) )
Which means I also work as a waitress during the day, no surprise - and when I can, I also work as a costume and clothing designer, a theatrical director, a seamstress, a teacher and all sorts of other fun stuff.

I'm a social worker. I've worked with battered women, the adult mentally ill and lots of families and children. I started independently supervising visitation between parents and children in divorce cases last year, and also have a part-time geek job hostessing in a restaurant to make ends meet.

hmmm... well up till rather recently i was a stay at home mom... and very proud of the job i had. My youngest started kindergarten (here it is full day) so i got a part time job while she is in school... to gather up some cash not only for the up coming holidays but also to stock up on soapmaking supplies for my new soap making business.... :D

Oooooo!! Another soap maker! :D
I schedule set up staff for a sports areana. A clerical job. I love it, though. Even though I do the same thing, the dynamics of each different event makes my job different and exciting all the time. I only work 6 hours a day & then I get to go home & live my real life.

Call me boring, LOL. I am a stay at home hockey wife. Actually now that we've "settled down", i'm looking forward to getting back to work again someday soon. My hubby retired this summer from minor-pro hockey and we actually live in one place now. Guess i'm now the traditional semi-pro hockey wife without a job since he's playing at this level now.
I'd eventually like to start my own business. A metaphysical shop is my dream, and in this small town, the closest one is about an hour and a half away. I know there are other Pagans in the area, it's just a matter of finding them. ;)

Computer Consultant - since the mid 70's. Yes - I do work for myself - has advantages and dis-advantages! For those whose wish to work for themselves - you are just trading bosses. :)

I teach fourth and fifth grade special education. I love working with my students each day. Since they have specific learning disabilities, I am always looking for news ways to help them understand familar concepts. I used to teach ancient history in the general ed. classroom; Even though the field of ancient history is my passion, I prefer to teach special education. I find it so much more rewarding.

I am a bookeeper for a commercial clean-up copmpany. It puts those big dumpsters out where houses are being built or renovated, someone has decided to get a new roof, cut down all the trees, etc.....
I also work part time for the local metaphysical shop, I do a stone and an herb class monthly. I got talked into doing readings and fill in on weekends so the owners can get a break. The store is only open for readings on Sunday. The rest of the time it is a large book, music, metaphysical supply store rolled into one.
I also just signed a contract with Books-A-Million to do a stone class there monthly for the next 6 months. (They are competing with Barnes and Noble BIG TIME HERE)
Aside from all that I am a single mom of 3 wonderful kids!!!

I do P.R. and marketing for a small, private school. My kids go there and I only work the hours they are in school, so it's a great fit.

I'm a full-time college student. I have a work-study job in the dining hall here. It's crap work, but the most meaningful friends I've made here all work with me. We have tons of fun. Tonight was porn name night and we played hockey with brooms and a bagel...
But when I'm at home I work at the customer service booth at the mall.
Edit: I'm hoping to become a linguist.

Yeah, You're one of those evil people that I have to hound on a daily basis for product.
I'm a sales rep/customer service rep. for Electrical, Electronic, and Datacom Manufacturers... I actually handle the Thomas & Betts Line by myself, and also help out with General Cable, Bud Industries, Johanson Fiber Optics, and Lynx Communications.
