What do you do for a living?
 

I am a professional writer and I have web-based businesses.

How about you?

Licensed attorney, not in practice, working at large corporation (to remain unnamed) for another 20-30 years until I hit 65 and then I'm riding off into the sunset on my pension-plan pony.

You have a pension? I am impressed!! I thought they did away with those...

Unable to work now. Semi retired on disability. Used to work in manufacturing. Running machines and such. Boring work. Gave me carpal tunnel.

I'm a Philadelphia fireman. What do you write?

Legal Assistant in large firm.

I've been self employed IT consultant since 1996, which means I have many bosses (every one of my clients). I help small businesses manage their technology.

Painting contractor/decorative painter/plasterer, self-employed.

I also make money on the side from freelance writing and have three published non-fiction books which are still doing quite well.

I gamble for a living, Blackjack card-counting, casino promotion hustling, sports betting, you name it. If I find a way to legally get a mathematical edge over a casino game, I will bet it. I loath casinos because their marketing tactics are similar to the alcohol industry. I take enmourse pride in beating casinos at their own game.

Just to be clear, I don't have a gambling problem. I only bet money when I have a mathematical edge over the house. I've been gambling for a living for 15 years now, and I've only had one losing year (less than 10k), and I didn't play much that year. Most years, my gross win exceeds 6 figures. I mention this not to brag, but to dispel any notions that I'm a gambling degenerate. I'm not; actually I don't like gambling that much, but this vocation allows me to make a decent living, and live the lifestyle I prefer to live.

RN, but currently a stay at home mom

I did some freelance travel writing and photography in the early 1990's. I did have some minor success getting my spec articles published, but I found it to be a tough way to make a living.

I earn the money to live and buy things by editing member letters at a PBM. It is my job.

I do not do that for a living though. After 17 years at one company I learned that my resume is not going on my headstone. I work and I get paid for it. That is all my job is to me. I rarely bring it home.

I make a living at having fun, enjoying life with my family, friends and my pets.

Over the weekend I raked leaves. My BF came up and tackled me into a large pile. It was grand. That is how I make a living :D

I love your perspective, GracieLou!!!!

Studying towards a degree in Psychology and Philosophy - maybe one day I' ll get a proper job lol

I just went back to work a month ago as an event coordinator for a very large school corporation. Before this I was a stay at home mom for 7 years.

Stay at home mom. previously an attorney, and before that, an actuary. Thinking I need to go back to work soon, but am afraid I'm pretty unemployable after 10 years at home.. ...

I'm an account manager for a large private telecom company based in the Boston area. I also play in several bands - for love, not money.
