Well if only I could be as professional as most of you WPers.

Waitress for now but most of my jobs have been in odd positions like music teacher, residential care, dietary assistant, childcare, and other boring stuff.

Always wanted to pursue a degree in psychology and psychiatry. Never had the money nor the time.

Self employed web designer (also do white hat SEO).

Used to be an ebay Power Seller (mostly Mid-Century Modern furniture and antiques). Sold an oval shaped sofa to Peter Jackson!

Other former jobs include:

Movie Theatre Inspector (aka theatre checker). My boss was in TN, I was in PA, and the company was in CA so I never saw my boss...good times!

Helped design and build original large dioramas for a Christmas holiday decoration company, Christmas floral arrangements, wreaths, etc. Lots of art, so much work that we were required to be antisocial.

Display artist (more modern title: visual merchandiser) for Liz Claiborne

I teach piano and play in a jazz band.

In my free time I am rolling out a company that uses past horse racing results statistics to attempt to predict possible outcomes of specific future races based on the correlation between the "expert" handicappers' opinions and the public's willingness to embrace, ignore or be confused by, said opinion, as witnessed by their betting patterns; and also by arbitrage situations where the likely payouts per race have been set too high due to uncertainty of the results (i.e., high risk).

And BTW I don't gamble whatsoever! The two people involved with me on this think I am VERY strange for not doing so, as they are licking their lips wondering how much they can make out of it all. But to me, honestly it's enough just knowing it works. (Also being Scottish - well only half - and being tight with one's money IS genetic!! !)

I know, VERY Aspie to mix math and music!! !

Currently a Software Developer. Used to be a Software Quality Assurance Engineer.
I think QA is probably the best line of work for someone like me, since I'm great at finding flaws in everything I see!

In just under 3 months, I will either be a GIS Specialist/Analyst, or an Urban Planner.

Radio announcer, program producer, audio restoration engineer.

In the odd environment where I work, they tend to give job duties different names than the rest of the industry. For example, I assemble show elements from scratch and combine them into a program for broadcast, but my credit will say "technical assistance was provided by..." when I produced, directed and engineered it.

Student, writer, model, musician, and record label owner.

Just a student for now. When I leave school I hope to go into Medicine or Psychology.

I used to be a hospice nurse. but I was haunted by images of death and always had trouble sleeping.
I used to be a nursing home nurse but I was too slow.
For all my nursing effort I increasingly found it difficult to touch or be touched by people, or to clean or otherwise get near to vomit, spit, nasal discharge, blood, urine and feces.
I was told by the people that employed me that patients and colleagues thought I was strange and didn't want to work with me so they let me go.

I used to write and publish massage magazine articles on massage history and clinical massage practice. I also wrote and published five books on the history, methods and clinical application of massage but my publishers decided I was too pedantic and didn't want to publish me any longer.

I used to try to sell furniture but my colleagues said I was strange and didn't want to work with me.

I wanted to try paralegal work as I completed a certificate at a prestigious universitry but I was frequently told I was too old and didn't have the ten or mmore years experience they now require.

I used to work in market research and technical sales but opportunities dried up a long time ago.

Now at 63 I don't know what I want to do with my life, but certainly not just give up and retire!

Stay-at-home mom.

Carpenter, general building maint.

College student majoring in Digital Media
