I was a high school French teacher for 12 years but just left the classroom to go back for my PhD part time. I miss teaching a lot!

I loved teaching. I did not love all of the BS that teachers have to deal with.

3) What was the most unique job you've ever had?

I can't say that I've had any "unique" jobs but I being a camp counselor was extremely fun!

1. I'm a SAHM
2. I enjoyed being a makeup artist the most and a corporate recruiter next.
3. I think being a body piercer was unique.

Flamingemu · February 2015

1. I am a consultant. Generic huh? Okay, I am a Management Consulting specializing in Federal Finance (just like everyone else in DC)

2. I have not had too many 'fun' jobs. Maybe when I was working retail in college. I liked the people I worked with, the work - eh.

3. I worked at an HIV & AIDS prevention clinic in college. The work itself, not so unique, but I had a fishbowl of condoms on my desk and a smaller one full of lube.

ellebelle2384 · February 2015

1) What do you currently do for a job? I am a pediatric speech language pathologist.

2) What was your favorite job you've ever had? I enjoy my profession a lot (not my current job however) so I will have to say the clinic I worked at right out of grad school. Such great coworkers.

3) What was the most unique job you've ever had? I never really had unique jobs. I worked retail at a sports/ski shop during grad school and I learned how to string tennis racquets. That was pretty fun and unique.

1. I've been a full time stay at home mom since we moved a year ago, but I am expecting a call with an offer tomorrow for a part-time accounting position at a non-profit that I'm very excited about - yea!

2. My last (also part-time) job was administering a homelessness prevention grant which I loved - felt like good work, no dealing with clients, and lots of attention to detail which I thrive on.

3. I did grocery store inventory - arriving at 3am to travel in a van to grocery stores all over the area to inventory shelf after shelf. I guess the job itself wasn't that crazy, but the people who worked for the company were super interesting.

1) I'm a SAHM

2) My favorite job was probably when I was a lab manager in a bird song research lab. It seems like a lifetime ago...

3) Most of my jobs were pretty lame but I guess my most unique was probably when I was doing spotted owl surveys. I got to drive around logging roads playing owl calls and waited to see if any owls responded.

Kelley421 · February 2015

1) registered nurse working in insurance pre-certifications
2) I worked at a sno-cone stand in college, that was fun and I ate a LOT of sno-cones

3) I worked in ICU at a very small hospital, so instead of specialty nursing we had tons of different illnesses ranging from heart surgeries to very ill postpartum moms to suicide attempts. Went to work daily never knowing what I would see.

This is exactly what I was thinking. We barely even hang out with good friend of our right now because she is pregnant and it always leads to a bad night for me.

I admit that my job is more emotionally challenging since have IF. There are days that make me very angry- especially if I take care of a patient who is irresponsible (i.e.: drug user having her 5th kid) or someone who is super rude and nasty to the nurses. It makes me wonder why they are able to have so many kids and I can't. But some days my job gives me hope too- seeing patients who struggled with IF finally have their babies makes me happy. So it is a mixed bag.

NB817 · February 2015

1. I am a SAHM

2. I was a Parking Lot attendant at a very popular beach on Cape Cod for a few summers during college. I got to hang out with my BFF and a few other entertaining friends while getting a tan and getting paid. We would party with the lifeguards after work and it was a BLAST!

3. Probably The parking lot attendant gig.

annibes · February 2015

Speech pathologist in early intervention.

I love the job I do now, but I worked at a movie theater in high school and that was a lot of fun! I also worked as a lab tech in a hospital and it was so interesting. I don't know if I can pick an all time favorite. Every job walking of perfect for the stage in my life.

I delivered newspapers from the time I was 11 or 12 until I started high school. I delivered to the people in my neighborhood and an apartment building for elderly people and they always had interesting stories to tell.
