Sales, space planning and interior design. Think high-end European home and office furniture.

I have also recently finished an undergrad in business administration and am currently preparing to take the GMAT. Provided I score well enough, I will enroll in a MBA program in the fall.

I LOVE my job. I work at an animal hospital. Pretty much, little to no human contact and PLENTY of puppy and kitty contact :)! When you have a mean dog or cat, you just throw a blanket on their head or grab them by the scruff. That makes them instantly settle down. I WISH I could just do that with an annoying human lol.

What I'd really love to do is be a tour director at Versailles. Too bad I can barely speak French...

I'm currently an investigator for a clothing company.

Before that I did security work. I also did a short stint working in a library.

What's my job?

Growing up I kept hitting my head. :eek: So naturally, I am a psychology professor (small liberal arts college in Idaho). I teach neuropsychology, psychopharmacology, forensic psychology and, when I get a chance, courses in cinema (the brain I know a lot about, the cinema, I'm working on). Surprise, Surprise, my favorite course in cinema is Film Noir. ;) I have a great job but it doesn't pay enough to buy the hats I really covet. (Maybe I could but my wife thinks we should retire someday!) :eek:

I spent many years working and traveling as a Musician -(Guitarist/Bassist) playing everything from Country, Classic Rock & Oldies, up to my last stint as a Jazz/Blues Bassist. Talk about an opportunity to wear many different hats-lierally-I had fun! However, I've chosen to leave the musician's lifestyle behind at this point, and as of now, I'm now employed as an Account Manager for a regional commercial furniture leasing company- we act as a third party vendor to companies that do temporary corporate housing. Not really my life's ambition, but it pays the bills.

Are you that cheerful whilst at work?? The bus drivers roundhere are soooo miserable. Not exactly what you want to see first thing in the morning.

Most of the time, yes. I love the work. Although there are times I may not show it because I'm one of those types who scowl when I'm trying to concentrate. And when the bus is in motion, believe you me, I am CONCENTRATING on maneuvering a behemoth of a vehicle filled with a couple dozen breathing bodies amongst smaller vehicles that have no respect for the bus and ignore yield laws. But when the bus is stopped and people are getting on or off, I give everybody a cheerful hello or goodbye.

Don't you mean you brive a dus?

hehe, I removed that little quote in my signature when I saw it juxtaposed with my occupation post - OOPS!

For those who missed it - My signature line had this quote I saw the other day: "Another drink on a night before work is better than being hungover on your own time!"

Please could you move here and drive my buses? I like cheerful peoples :D I'm always respectful of my bus drivers & the other passengers. Oh yes, I'm polite.

I'm a broadcaster. I've been on the radio in some form or fashion for most of 30 years, starting right out of high school. Currently I'm in commercial copy writing and production for a group of 7 stations in New Orleans.

Wow great work! I am incredibly jealous, I've always thought drawing for comics would be an amazing job.
