What do you do?

nannabee21 · February 2014

I'm a nurse in a well baby nursery. I take care of other people's newborns all night them come home to my quiet house and sleep for 12 hours straight. I get my fix and my rest.

Lizbeth2462 · February 2014

I didn't know what a bon bon was either, but now that I know I want one NOW.

I'm a chemical dependency counselor. Addictions to chocolate don't count (luckily).

I work in fundraising for a performing arts nonprofit. It's a pretty fun job most of the time - I often get to drink champagne and go to fancy dinners and parties as "work" so that's pretty cool

Rseed · February 2014

I'm a Spanish/Mandarin teacher (during school year) and Social Studies teacher (in summer school) in NY and I own a bridal makeup business (I'm also a makeup artist).

QueenOfSpades622 · February 2014

I get to listen to peoples symptoms all day long and be at the becking call of doctors. I also get to tell people we are not like burger king and you can't always have it your way!

I'm a nurse at an Urgent Care center.

GoaliesWife123 · February 2014

I'm a histotechnologist and supervise a research histology lab. ETA: but currently I'm bumping on my phone while taking the single most boring work required on line test.
What is a histotechnologist? Sounds fancy.

I pretty much process tissue from animals, put it in blocks of wax, cut them super thin on a special machine, and put the thin sections on slides that are then stained with different dyes to showcase the tissue morphology for a pathologist to look at. I work in a research lab now, but I worked in a clinical (human) lab before. If you've ever had a biopsy your tissue got sent off to a histology lab for pathology.

Yikes, I don't even know if I understand that explanation myself.

Yup, fancy. Cool!

I'm a CPA. I work in audit and tax since I'm still only about 4 years young to the company. LONG days this time of year. I'm jealous of all you accountants in private industry.

MrsG713 · February 2014

Speech teacher here.

kmaty13 · February 2014

I have degrees in both of those as well @cjchio. I work in the psych field but am trying to get into the CJ field.

RayRay007 · February 2014

Hey, you American lawyers, why do you call yourselves attorneys? Up here we just call ourselves lawyers. Sometimes barristers and solicitors. I'm one of them.

sthrncharmer · February 2014

I get to cuddle sick puppies and kittens all day (actually all night). Emergency vet tech.

It was a running joke on my wedding club board that I was really Kate Middleton. It's still hilarious to me because I really don't like her...

You should really stop having a negative attitude towards yourself. It's not good for you. :-P.

And I play with puppies and kittens all day. Well that is at least what my 6 yr old self thought I did for a living.

I don't even know what a Bon Bon is :-) I did eat a Lindor truffle earlier.

You will be happy to know I'm NOT a teacher, I'm actually a former CPA turned SAHM.

::gasp::

What is a bon-bon? WHAT IS A BON-BON??

It's a small, chocolate covered ball of vanilla ice cream. It's the shape of a gum drop (but about twice as big) and the taste of a Klondike bar.

Oh I don't like ice cream. I guess that's why I didn't know what they were. I'll stick with my truffles.

MrsZ1891 · February 2014

I'm a SAHM. I clean poop and play dolls all day. Before DD I was an account manager for an insurance firm.

kaimee27 · February 2014

I'm a glorified butt wiper registered nurse in the ER. It's never boring!

icaughtfire · February 2014

I'm a glorified baby-sitter manager at a financial services business.

mommy2C · February 2014

I used to be the Lead Law Clerk for a Real Estate Lawyer...I closed sales and purchases all day long. I also supervised the Junior Legal Assistant as well. Now I'm a stay at home mom and I love it! I plan to head back to work, at least part time, once our next child (when we finally get pregnant) is in school fulltime (so Kindergarten).

ngolimento · February 2014

I'm a commercial banker. Yes I handle millions of dollars daily, no it's not as fun as you'd think :P.

maplesugarkisses · February 2014

I'm a nurse at a long term care facility (not just old people like my son assumes) lol

stacyslo · February 2014

Pharmaceutical sales... And NO, I don't sell Viagra... and I don't have samples, so don't ask.

militiger · February 2014

I help people make the country a better place - mostly that involves lots of conference calls and emails

MrsMCBMar2014 · February 2014

I actually have 2 full-time jobs: I manage an entire IT Staffing company. Granted there are only 6 people in the office (besides myself) it's a big undertaking. The company itself is owned/run by a woman so it makes it a 'little' more challenging then previous management jobs I've had. I've only been with this company for a little over a month and I love the group. AND I'm a mom! I have a 12 year old son (who will be 13 on April 1st). He's a big priority (and always has been) so I spend A LOT of time with him.

girl, i'd love to sit down and have a beer with you. the stories we could tell.

You know it! Especially after the past few days...

RayRay007 · February 2014

@Joy2611 Thanks. I was wondering if it was different qualifications or a special designation.

Because I like the word attorney better than lawyer?

Also, at least in my state, "solicitor" is the term used for a municipal attorney. So for the City of Philadelphia their legal counsel is called a solicitor. But it's basically a job title much the same as some attorneys are general counsel to a corporation.

JamieK1882 · February 2014

I like to think I'm a Disney Princess, but really I'm just a pharmacist.

Are you in Philly?? Are you a lawyer in Philly??

No. In the same state though. :-)

Sliptak · February 2014

I'm a substitute teacher. I'm certified to teach k-5 for general education and k-8 in special education but I like subbing since my husband works 7 and 7 (on one week, off the next) and when he's home I can choose not to work and just play. I also want to be a SAHM once we do conceive until the kiddo(s) start school.

Lomcmuffin · February 2014

I am a dental assistant for a small practice. I suck your spit up and hand the dentist instruments. Pretty darn boring and not what I want to do forever

mmb248 · February 2014

@stacyslo - I have to ask: Were you a college athlete? Every pharma sales person I know is a former college athlete.

marajay6 · February 2014

I am an actuary at an insurance company. I sit in a cubicle and analyze data all day long.

CountryAir13 · February 2014

I work in a child care room at a local fitness center... With a degree totally unrelated to what I'm doing. I get to play with kids all day- including DS

stacyslo · February 2014

@ mmb248... No, I was not! haha, but my last counterpart was, lol! That's funny.
