What is your day job?

I'm a full-time writer. I manage the content of several high traffic websites alongside a friend of mine. I get paid salary (very fair wages at that) and the work isn't too bad at all. Been doing this for around 6 months now and definitely have no clue how I ever held down a "normal" job. Anyways, yeah. I'm a writer by trade and hobby. Pretty cool, huh?

I am a technical writer at a large software company. I write the help files, reference guides, and other official communications. I never envisioned this for myself, but it's been very interesting to see this side of software production.

I am an application support analyst for a Large Company. People report problems with our internal applications, and I figure out how to fix them (or if the development team needs to have a look). It involves a lot of database trawling, and SQL.

Manage projects, finance related projects for a broker-dealer. Numbers and spreadsheets. It's easy for me and I clear plenty of time to write.

Full-time spouse, parent, and writer. Living the dream.

I'm a resident-physician. I'm hoping to be a part-time doc, part-time writer someday.

Apparently, my day job is searching for a day job. lol.

I'm a part-time college student and I work full-time as phone actress and adult affiliate marketer. In addition, I have a virtual erotic business on Second Life that I check up on every week. Used to work as meat cutter and I would like to become a butcher one day. Currently, I am studying for my California real estate exam and I would like to sale timeshares in La Paz, Mexico during the summers. I'm eclectic to say the least!

La Paz Mexico in Baja? I've always wanted to go there--s6

I like to say I'm a full time writer, aspiring student.
I still plan on going to university one day. But until then I work in construction. In mudjacking specifically. (Raising and leveling sunken concrete instead of replacing it.)
Though next year I plan on trying my luck at becoming a comedian.

Yes, I would love to sell Timeshares in La Paz, Baja California, Mexico.

Oy, truck driving is awesome. Some voice recognition software on your laptop and you write a chapter a day. At least, that's... what I... heard. From people. Yes. *shifty look*

Truck driving is one of the best professions on Earth.

University student currently looking for full time work, but wishing desperately that I could be a full time writer!

Full time stay at home mom and part time realtor.

Part-Time Security, while trying to certified to teach. Hopefully if I can teach I can try to further pursue my writing

Ex-military spending most of her days staring at the ceiling and getting used to that. Then my husband (who's still in) is all, "No matter what you wanna do, baby, I'll support you." NOOOO! Don't tell me that! That's like asking me what we should get for take-out but worse!

But I have a good opportunity to really work on my writing so I'm actually pretty happy where I'm at right now so we'll see where the wind takes me.

(so... much... freedom... *twitches*)

During the day I'm a substitute teacher. Weekend evenings I work at the front desk or the bar of a hotel. I also have college classes Tuesday evening.

I'm currently on maternity leave. I'm hoping to snag a job as a drug and alcohol coach for a middle school (my final interview is on Tuesday!), which will allow me to leave my other jobs and have more time to spend with my family.

I work in administrative position at a hospital. Buried in mundane paperwork. I write in the evenings and on my breaks/lunch. Someday I hope to be a full time writer, but right now I need to pay the bills.

Double as an Accounts Receivables assistant and Admin assistant to our Operations mgr. I basically handle incoming monies all day in various forms of transfer into the company account [i.e. cash, bank transfers, credit card pmts, checks in the mail] and input all kinds of fun reports into logs for daily/monthly sales, keep daily track of inventory for one of our warehouses, am the primary billing contact for handling a few large, multi-location accounts, get to fill out spreadsheets, make and track deposits, process orders for wholesale accounts, um... process returned mail and collection accounts to forward on to the customer service reps, and run credit checks for all accounts, as well.

Needless to say, my day's pretty busy. I spend both breaks and my lunch hour editing/revising my novel. And have to try not to think about my novel while counting money, lol, or I lose track and have to start all over!

I'm currently teaching an online art/CG workshop called "Becoming a Better Artist."

My students range from video game/film concept artists, art directors, 3D production artists, animators, illustrators, graphic designers, photographers, fine artists, comic book artists, to hobbyists. Here are the details about my workshop:

Before teaching online workshops, I taught briefly at art schools.

Prior to teaching, I worked in video games as studio art director, concept artist, and texture artist. I also worked in comic books as a writer/artist/creator for several years. I've also done writing/directing in animation.

I've moonlighted as a composer/songwriter for about as long as I've been a professional artist, composing scores for games/film, and writing songs for famous Taiwanese popstars.

I did some professional photography from time to time.

Ideally, I'll transition into full-time novel writing--that's my goal for the next phase of my life.
