I am a nuclear power plant operator. It's fun.
I have an electrical engineering degree and designed electric motors prior to this life.

Electrical Engineer by education (M.S.E.E. in electromagnetics and signal processing) but the past three years at least half time I've been relegated to crummy analyst work. I guess that's what I get for moving to a highly desirable place amidst a poor economy.

No, BHOFM, the enemy would be ME! I sell cars & trucks!
I also used to design websites full-time from home for 12 years, now it's just part-time.

I feel a little bit intimidating knowing everybody's else's profession so don't laugh to hard. I work as a gardener. LAUSD graduate and University of Baghdad graduate.

Just finished college. For the time being I'm working from home doing online search evaluation. I plan on going to grad school to get a Master's in Social Work then get my LCSW license then possibly start my own practice or work in mental health.

Thank you for doing this. I can just imagine the emotional roller coaster this task brings with it. Probably pretty thankless as well. I'm glad to know you.

The job has its ups and downs. But the hardest (and also most interesting) part is the managing all the parts, and stakeholders to form a cohesive approach to a project that meets both the community's needs and is attractive to the funders/investors. Honestly, the biggest frustrations are people related not project related.

I work for a concrete company mostly maintenance but drive the trucks sometimes, trying to make the world hard.
In my free time I am a firearms and marksmanship instructor.

I figure I fit in with this section given my weight but my job is being the mom. I did work for a blind organization for about a year and half (best job ever), done retail w/some management, worked for a box company tossing boxes onto the conveyor belt that eats and dents your packages, worked for a physics professor who was so disorganized I had to leave, and some other inane stupid jobs over the years. Don't ask me to toss papers for living, I got fired for being to "loud" at 3am when I was helping a friend.
If I needed to really work, I'd probably end up quilting for others via an industrial sewing machine. Other than being the mom, my sedentary unpaid day job is quilting. I design a lot of my quilts, do some occasional reviews on sewing machines and other fancy gadgets via my blog, and piece/quilt. Occasionally I put some quilts in local shows. Since I'm lucky enough to live near one of the top quilting museums, I visit when I can.
