It would be interesting to know what all you guys do! What do you work with? Or are you a student?

Myself, I'm a Public Health student, graduating this summer (like a week before my wedding :eek: ). I also work part time as a recptionist at an electronics company.. And I work at a gym as a spinning instructor and when time allows a Personal Trainer :)

This will be fun!! :)

I'm a student. I'll be graduating this upcoming May (6 months from today!) with a degree in history. I work part time at the customer service desk at a local grocery store, good times... :p In the spring I'll have an internship, probably at the NYS museum, which will hopefully lead me to some kind of job opportunity after the wedding :)

I am a school psychologist for the Boston Public Schools. This is my third year and I love it most of the time;) ! I planned my wedding for the summer as I have it off, one great perk of working for a school system.

I'm at work right now :)

I'm in the Air Force (7yrs now), and am working as a functional system administrator. I make sure that servers apply security patches and verify server backups and what have you.

I'm also a student...I'm attending Troy University working towards my bachelors in computer science.

Did I mention I hate computers? I'm addicted to the chat and email and the like, but I hate the inner workings and crap, yuck.

My paying job ~ I'm a secretary for a small HVAC company.
My non-paying job ~ I'm a volunteer firefighter and EMT-Intermediate. Had to go through a lot of training on my own time (40 hrs for firefighter, 140 hrs for EMT-Basic & 140 hrs for EMT-I) for not getting paid, but it is well worth it :)

I am a full time student (until August!!) and have two part time jobs. One is an internship with a local architect... it's a small firm and they're helping me to learn the ropes. Not 100% sure that I want to be an architect, but I may as well keep pushing forward until I know what I want to do. My other job is doing promotions for a wine company. That job is pretty fun (when we do big parties)... but sometimes I get stuck at the grocery store pouring wine. :)

I work for the dept. of mental health. I take care of a guy that has cerebral palsy. He has a house of his own but still needs assistance. I work there at night....and get to sleep. I really like it. I have worked in this field for almost nine years. I also volunteer at the elementary school at lunchtime. Helping the kindergarten kids with their milks and stuff to give the teachers a break.

Right now I don't have a job. I'm trying to get a job at Best Buy in my hometown because the manager is one of my families good friends. I need to make some money for the holidays. But right now I'm in college going for my associates degree in medical lab technology. I start my internship in January if all goes well and I pass my classes. I plan to go back to college in about fall 2007 to get my bachelors in criminal justice/criminalistics.

My FH is an assistant manager at an auto parts store. He just started with the store in May 2004 when we moved to Waterloo as a regular associate and moved up to assistant in that time. His district manager is trying to talk him into transferring to Davenport to take over his own store...but he is unsure if he wants to do that this soon. Eventually he wants his own store and then go back to school for business or something, but he said right now he is happy where he is.

I graduated with my BA in General Business in December 2001. I worked retail before moving to Michigan from Louisiana last spring.

I was jobless in Michigan for a year so I decided to get my real estate license. I started as an assitant to an agent to get my feet wet. Now, I deal with new construction only.

I miss working retail. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/504.gif I think I may start looking for manager positions after the new year.
