For Fun.
I know I've asked this before, but since I'm forgetful, and quite a few newbies, have come along, and a few regulars came back.
I'll ask again. I find this interesting.
What do you do for a living?

Re: For Fun.
I work at a university. Long title, basically I do contracts & complaince and some registrar stuff for nursing students. I'm in a doctoral program part time.
C is a mechanical engineer.

Angi, SO, is an artist - painting. She pulls together a lot of jobs to make a full time year round career of it. She's the lead painter for the Shakespeare Festival, is serving as adjunct at our college for a term, and paints reproductions of abstracts at a studio. She recently just finished a $15K piece for the Trump Towers. But the way it's set up at the studio, she maybe made $600 on the painting and doesn't get to put her name on it. Terrible, no? But at least she's doing her art in as many ways as she can.
People always assume I make more money because of who I work for, plus the whole "starving artist" stigma. Truth is she makes more annually.
I am a medical social worker in a children's hospital.

I work for a real estate group as a marketing coordinator. I started working for my company a little over 3 years ago as a receptionist and have done every other admin position the company has to offer, i finally settled with the marketing position which bascially consists of doing all of our print and web advertising. I also am the only staff memeber at our smaller branch so I still end up doing a lot of the grunt office work.
