What do you do for a living?

I am an IT Manager (Enterprise/Technical Architect) for a big IT/Managerial Consulting Firm in the Wash DC area.

.

I am a program manager for a large Localization (translation) US company, in Dublin.

I am a Wife and Mom who owns a housekeeping/organizing/errands/laundry service. Prior to starting my company, I was a nurse for over a decade working mostly in L&D and Geriatrics.

I'm a dentist like Ashley Hebert, I mean Rosenbaum! Unlike Ash whose specialization is Pediatric Dentistry, mine is Oral Surgery

I am in the process of launching my own photography business. I am also a full time student.

That is so cool! Always loved to be able to take good pics!

I'm a stay-at-home mom of 2 teens. I'm 54, reasonably-happily married, and am actually the present sole guardian of the older teen, (who considers himself a "man" but has no clue what that means) 18, who has Asperger's Syndrome and I make it through each day with a tempestous, very sharp 14-year-old girl in the middle of puberty. Right now and probably in my future, being a good, loving responsible parent and helping steer our son to being somewhat independent is my "career". My fairy tale is one day at a time, sweet Jesus.

For fun and cathartic creativity, I play with photography and graphic creation in chronicling our life events and Video Art production (self-taught in both) - with an eye to doing something in that field for money again. I used to have a home business designing and printing computer-designed customized mom/grandma/doting aunt gifts and earlier was a partner in local greeting card line (I was the main artist). Both were non-profit, I'm a better artist than businesswoman.

At some point - if that's needed financially or I just fall into an opportunity I can't pass up, I may parlay my current skills into a career. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mimitalks - if anyone cares to check it out. Just sharing - I have lots of downloadable freebies (I'm not in business) and have done a lot promoting Breast Cancer Awareness, much featuring that 14-year-old very-photogenic daughter (my mom was a Breast Cancer survivor). The rest is just 'cause I can.

"The Bachelor" watching is one of my "escapes". I'm really rooting for Sean.

Some pretty cool pics mimitalks. Thanks for sharing!

Since my last post in this thread, I have different jobs. Currently, I am a nanny for a wonderful family with 3 boys. If you follow me on twitter I post pictures and tweet about them often. I also coach JO (Junior Olympics) volleyball. As for my long-term plans, I'm still thinking about pursuing physical therapy, but if I had my way I would be a full-time coach because that is where my true passion is.

That sounds awesome. Sounds like you know what you want in life.
