Just wondering what you do for a living. Assuming you're not a full-time writer, which I know some of you are.

Well, someday I would love to be a full-time writer (wouldn't we all). I have an MBA and worked in banking for several years, but now I stay home taking care of my three kiddos. I mostly write at night when the house is quiet and everyone is asleep, as long as my brain is not too fried :)

I dont have a day job.

I work the nightshift :)

7 nigths work, 7 nights off. Loads of cash. Loads of freetime to write.

Best work I ever had.

(But you have to like the night.)

I'm a night social worker at an institution for mentally challenged adults.

Software license returns. I've worn many hats in my day. Graduated in 09 and this is the sixth different job/position I've held

I spent the last twenty years as a stay at home mom and a farmer. Now my kids are grown, I'm the primary caregiver for my mother, who has Alzheimer's.

I work in a call center.

It is funny that I took a job in a call center after college. I have a degree in history. I figured I would take the job and keep it until I found something in my field of interest. 8 years later...I'm still here...

When I chose my career path it was between art and history. That was over ten years ago and I still have the same two primary interests. I've never written anything for myself which wasn't a period piece.

I thought you were talking about me up 'til the philanthropist part. I'm the trying-to-take-over-the-world type of billionaire (we're much more common).

I should have added 'volatile, self-obsessed, and doesn't play well with others' ;)

I love history, but I have yet to find out how to make a career out of it.
