what do you do for a living?

Question

Have you always wanted to do what you do? Or did you just fall into it, and do you enjoy your work? If not what would you love to be doing ?

Answer 1

Real estate development. I've only been doing this a few years but I love it, love building homes for people and improving the community. I like the flexibility in my schedule (get to see my son more often) and I'm less stressed than when I was in high-tech.

Answer 2

I am an Administration Coordinator. It is not exactly what I dreamt of doing. After I left school I started studying for my Bachelor of Arts in Journalism but after the first year became very disillusioned about it. I dropped out and decided to get some work to support myself whilst I decided what I wanted to do. I started working as a mail room clerk and was soon promoted to reception. Once I got used to having cash I couldn't see how I could go back to being a student and kept on working. In the past 6 years I have worked my way up into a managerial role. I do get bored as it can sometimes be a very quiet kind of job with not much to do. But when I do get work come across my desk I like doing it, trying to solve problems etc.

Answer 3

I have been petsitting for about ten years. I started doing it just because I became disabled and couldn't do much else - and the dog walking was very therapeutic. Left to my own devices, I didn't have the discipline to walk around much because of pain.

I never thought much of it - "any dork with a piece of string can walk a dog!" until a couple of years ago. A big doberman got very sick while in my care, and his people were across the continent in a family crisis and could not return soon. I had to half carry the 80 lb dog out to pee three or four times a day, as well as lift him in and out of the cab to the vet. It was very hard, but the people were SO grateful and I realised I did a very important job.

Then I realised that back when I was a teen, I had toyed with the idea of going to veterinary school! I have taken care of a lot of difficult, ornery, sick, and just plain OLD animals, putting a lot of pills down throats, and cleaning up after sick pets. So somehow I am sort of doing what I wanted to all along! In spite of myself.... I am so happy now, but it took a long road to figure all this out.

Answer 4

Hi,

I am doing what I love. Helping people build their own websites.

I created my website with SBI! last February, 2006.

I now get over 4,000 hits per month.

No technical knowledge required. If you Yahoo!,
you know more than enough to create a website that works.

Over 20,000+ people around the world enjoy the benefits of this system.

Some say even spiritually.

You don't know me from Adam so don’t take my word for it. Spend a little time on your own due diligence.

P.S. Why build just a Web site,
When You COULD Build a Business?

P.P.S. WAHMs, "Work At Home Moms"
WAHMs choose not to take paid work outside the home,
so that their family can be their first priority.
This is a growing audience. SBI! provides the flexibility,
income generation and personal fulfillment they are seeking.
