What does everybody do for a living???

My first attempt at humor was taken wrong by her...

I guess we all need to assume folks are being funny in their posts. Myself included. :beer:

Hats off to the teachers.

I drown kittens for a living.

 

[mattchuck2]

How much do they pay for that sort of thing?

I drown kittens for a living.

Is that strictly kittens or do you branch out into cats from time to time? What's the growth potential of a job like that?

I'm too young to say retired and too able bodied to say unemployable. I had a law practice for 10 years and a bar/restaurant that I sold out 7 years ago. So, now I'm self-employed according to the IRS, lol.

I still work for my Dads company selling tombstones..I'm mostly in the office but I also help out with deliveries when an extra set of hands are needed for big jobs that we can't crane. The longer I've been at this job..the more I enjoy it as I learn all the different aspects of the business. We're on pace for our best year ever which should means a mad steezy year end bonus to help pay for the 08-09 ski season. I'm very lucky that my work is only 2 miles from my apartment. The main thing for me is to put myself into my customers shoes and help them design a beautiful tribute to a loved one. I recently added a bunch of nice testimonials to our website which helps us attract more funeral directors to sell for us. I eventually want to start my own business..possibily some sort of e-commerce site..

i am a partner at a design firm in NYC. most of the time we design resturants, nightclubs/bar, and hotels and resorts. i am the senior systems integration engineer. that basically means i make things sound good, lighted correctly, video plays right and the system will make the client money. we also do a lot of product design for which i do most of the 3D modeling. i also work as a A/V consultant for companies that are not in the metro area and are not direct competitors with us. i really like my job, unfortunatly there is very little seperation between my personal life and work. 50% of my work is actual work the 50% is just playing with expensive toys.

what restaurants in the city has your firm designed? what was your degree at UVM to get into such a field? sounds like fun

Freelance:
a new performing arts space in north salt lake
and a resturant/bar downtown in atlanta

if you had asked me when i was at the U i could never have imagined i would we be where i am. the art education did do any thing for me. i also went to dervy for tcom and to stevens tech for electronic engineering and took a bunch physics. one day i would like to get my masters in phyisics (the only math that ever made sense to me). did a bunch of touring as a DJ, systems tech, and lighting tech.

i think the biggest factor was the fact that i was ADD/Hyperactive before they started giving the kids all these drugs. my parents just told me to go outside and play. i have always just done what makes me happy(for the most part).

Im sure most of you know what i do from my other posts. I am a pediatric nurse in a large county hospital in nassau county <figure that one out, long islanders> I work mostly in the general pediatric ward but go to the ER and peds ICU when needed. I work 3 night shifts a week, 7pm to 7:40am. Occasionally do OT but most of the time i think better of it Been here going on 20 yrs...i was a youngin' when i started...and i will probably never leave. I love bedside nursing and never wanted to do any type of administration work. My nurse manager recently retired and they asked if i wanted the position....hell no...i saw what this place did to her.

I'm a Software Engineer for a Naval Submarine research lab in Newport,RI. It's interesting work. I'm a civilian, and I work in the Tomahawk Missiles division. I work 40 hrs a week and work at home one day, hopefully going to two soon.

Oh, and I also kill kittens on the side!

Did you know if you die in your house, your cat will eat you!:-?
