What do you do for a living.

Small Animal Veterinarian for past 21 years. Thinking of getting into a different part of the veterinary field. Any animal health pharmaceutical guys out there looking for a rep in the Louisville, Ky area??

Nothing. I am slowly headed toward becoming a couch-surfer and getting my meals from the free samples at Costco.

All these cool jobs, not many medical people here?

I am a Registered Nurse on an Orthopedic unit...I'm the guy shooting you up with anti-puke medicine after you just got your knee or hip replaced. I was bumped off the Cardiac unit in a recent facility job relocation program that affected 200 of us...Id rather build and test missiles. I leave either tonight or tomorrow for 3+ weeks on my first vacation in over a year, living out of tent like dirtbags!

I am the Assistant Pastor for a PCA church. I tend to the 12 - 40 crowd - youth, college, young people, young families...

I also teach Speech and Writing one day a week at a high school homeschool co-op. It is a fun side job. I assign them a week's worth of work and, for the most part, they come back the next week having finished it all. Then we talk about it. This is my second year but I am still surprised each week when they show up having done all the work. I never did any work when I was in high school.

Pastor George E., where is your PCA located? I'm in the Cedar Valley.

Mechanical Engineer here, 13 years at Chrysler and now nearly 5 at John Deere. Most of my time at Chrysler was spent working on and improving the Hemi engine and now I work on large diesel engines in an advanced engine technology group. Two very different worlds, yet so similar.

I'm a longtime soccer coach (made it to the college level) before quitting to join the corporate world, but the corporate world, it turns out, wasn't the thing for me, so now I'm writing a book.

It's a short story book, which of course lacks the grandiosity of a novel, but I'm cool with that. Some of the great ones like Hemingway and Joyce got their start with short stories.

Joe,

pm sent.

Well, in this day and age, Medical people can't afford luxury items, like little pieces of cardboard!!

Well, add me to the list of Medical Professionals.....I am an Anatomic and Clinical Pathologist in a large single specialty group in the Pacific Northwest. I spend most of my day looking through a microscope at little parts of patients that get removed during surgery or another type of procedure, and issuing an evaluation (.....too graphic?????......).

Definitely a lot of cool careers that others have on the board.

I'm an engineer with my own small company. Our work is mostly centered around blasting - utilities, building implosions, bridge and tower demo.

I'm sitting here in Seattle in my daughters hospital room. She is 20 and two days ago underwent a total knee replacement. I am amazed at the compassion and care she has received from the nurses. My mother was an RN in a psychiatric hospital. My hats off to you and all of your peers you do amazing work. Enjoy your vacation you certainly deserve it.

By the way I supervise social workers for the state of Washington.
