So ladies, what do you do for a living?!

KtGirl88

What is your profession or do you have a certain degree and dont work? 

 

I am a hairstylst. I started studying Early Childhood Education at Colorado State University but never finished because cosmetology was always my passion (and CO was way to cold for this FL girl)

saccidananda108

I have my Bachelor of Music (music ed) and Masters of Arts in Special Ed, plus I have over 300+ training hours in Anusara Yoga. I currently teach in a self-contained special ed school (emotional & behavioral disabilities compacted with multiple learning disabilities), I still have 4 private violin students, and I teach Yoga (adult and teen).  I haven't figured out what's gonna give when the baby comes, but I certainly can't maintain this schedule - it helps with saving up money for now though! (and I really do love everything I do)

kgunz11

I'm executive VP for a small community bank- been there for 5 years.  Before that, I used my Culinary Arts degree and worked for a 4* fine dining restaurant.

mbritto4

SAHM.  BS in Management, minor in IS. 

In a past life I worked in automotive ERP software, doing crystal reports and EDI.  I think about going back to college once DD is in school all day and 2.0 is in preschool.  Not sure what for

CactusGirl

I was a civil drafter for a civil engineering firm.

Then, I went back to school and got my masters in elementary and special education! (just graduated in December). So, while I am trying to find a job as a teacher (would LOVE to teach 1st or 2nd grade), I am substitute teaching for now, which is kind of nice because it is really convienent to choose which days I want to work and which days I don't 

fromthismoment08

I am a third grade teacher.  I couldn't imagine doing any other job!

korpisar

I'm an account manager for a trucking company - basically outside sales. Love what I do - have a Marketing degree from Michigan State.

futuremrscrocco

I'm a full time SAHM and a very, very part time (read: one day a week maybe) pharmacy technician.

dougsbestgirl

I am a veterinarian. 

Abbney

I work for the US Air Force.  I am a reservist in a Civil Engineering squadron one weekend a month 2 weeks a year but Mon-Friday I work the exact same job as a civilian.

As soon as DH advances I would like to be a SAHM/finish my degree in Nursing.  So far the timing is lining up just right with pre-school time frame

Firefly9

It's mentioned in my post from earlier--I've got my MLIS (Master's in Library and Information Science), but am not a librarian.  I'm a supervisor at a university library.

My undergrad major was Geographical Information Sciences, and in my previous job, I made property/land-use/soil maps for a property tax software company.  Unfortunately, the company got acquired and cut the mapping department, but that's when I decided to go back to school for the MLIS.

pinkforme

I am licensed mental health therapist.  I primarily work with children and adolescents.  I have a BS in Community Health and Psychology.  I have a Master's Degree in Counseling.

I have a certificate in medical transcription and did that for close to ten years, then switched to a front office position in a surgical center and then a family practice/pediatrics clinic before becoming a full time SAHM when DD was ten months old.  

katie4253

I am an Instructional Coach (basically I go in and observe teachers and coach them to be better teachers by providing a variety of services).

I taught SS in a middle school for 6 years before that.  I have my B.A. in Global Studies and Middle School Ed. and 2 Master's Degrees.  One in Education of At Risk Youth and one in Educational Administration.

Ultimately, I'd like to be a principal at the elementary level or MS level.  I have no interest in high school.  I also plan on starting my EdD. when H finishes his PhD in a couple years. 

While I was in college for my undergrad, I was an Optician (did the testing to become certified) and thought about going to school to be an Optometrist.   It was neat to do the basic stuff before the doctor came in (I did refractions, tested for glaucoma, and some visual field tests).  I didn't care for the fixing glasses and paperwork.  It was a really good job to have in college though!

This is my 8th year teaching and I love it!

Where'd you get your masters in Education of At Risk Youth?  I've never heard of that but am intrigued (not that I want to go back to school again!) Poverty is my area of interest, as well as culturally responsive teaching.

I have a BS in communications and I am a Systems Analyst at a college.

ksulli

I have my CPA and work auditing mutual funds (BS and MS both in accounting). Love that I understand the whole financial markets and can hold my own with a CFO, hate that I consistently put in 60+ hour weeks. Something will need to change when LO arrives. Not sure what it's going to be yet though.

gmc222

I work in marketing at a large financial firm. 

ladymcp

I am a photographer (Maternity, Newborn, Family and my passion Fine Art Nudes, mostly black and white) and have a blog (fashion related).

I am based from home so that I can be there for my son when he comes home from school. 

Saltina11

75% through law school after this semster, so I plan to be in-house counsel for my current employer when I graduate in May 2012 (and subsequently pass the bar, of course). I want to do estate planning for our Wealth Management group eventually. Right now I'm a Credit Officer for a pretty well known national bank headquartered in Steelers' land. I'm happy but some days between planning wedding/planning for baby/school/ and work I want to pull my hair out. 

I think ultimately I want to be like Erika Christensen's character in Parenthood (anybody else love that show?!) and my husband will be a stay at home/ work from home daddy. He wants to go back to school after I finish (for CPA/accounting).

Park University in Parkville, MO.  Much of the program could be done online though.

Poverty is my area of interest as well.  As well as incarcerated youth.

I am a videographer, video editor and create graphics both for video and layout. On the side I do photography - I started with weddings but now I mainly do family sessions.  

Hopefully when the little green bean shows up I can edit video from home after mat leave if they let me do a set up here...fingers crossed!

lacey321

I'm a tax accountant, got my degree from PSU, and am currently working towards my CPA.  I've passed all four parts of the exam but need to meet the work experience requirement, I'm just 370 audit hours shy so I should be there in no time!    I plan to go for masters in tax one I finish my hours.
