I am a draftsman (technically).

In actuality, I'm a Fire Systems Engineer (without the degree).

That means that I design fire alarm systems for a living.

I also do drafting, and assist the sales team generate proposals, do site visits, and deal with the various fire marshals to submit plans, process applications, etc.

Not exciting, but it pays the bills.

I am happy that I can pay my bills, but NO it's not what I really would like to do for a living (that would be; Photographer).

Hey PJ - remember my idea of making your job exciting where u design vag. penis and titty smoke alarms and fire extinguishers for the sex industry!!!! I was hoping to b reading about it this time

Y'all need to call Sammy Hagar. He and his brother started (and might still own, I don't know) one of the largest smoke alram/sprinkler system companies in America. This is 100% true.

If anyone could see the vaule of gential-shaped fire alams and extinguishers, it has to be the Red Rocker!

I had to google that.

His Wiki page (under "Business Interests") lists a whole slew of businesses he's been involved with, but an alarm company is nowhere to be found.

I'm ambassador to Toronto's interfaith community for the local affiliate of an international non-profit organization. I very much like my job, though the romance of cultivating relationships with such diverse and amazing peoples is sometimes lost in the minutia of my work.

Is it what I want to do? For now, yes. There's still such room for growth -- both my own and that of my local portfolio. Ultimately, though, I might prefer to do what I do for our international parent firm, which could allow me significant mobility to travel around the world, championing our cause.

I do the job of a call girl but get the salary of a crack ho.

For the time being, I'm a security officer. Before then, I used to be an auto body shop porter, a dishwaster, a cook, and a warehouse stock clerk.

Interesting job

Freelance graphic designer/photographer. I'm in publishing/print, mainly educational these days, early literacy, high school and university texts.

I'm a cytogenetics technician. I like it, but all through school the one part of science/lab courses I really disliked was microscopy, and oddly enough now most of my day is spent at a microscope... This is not my dream job, but atleast it's a nice job with nice people.

My dream job was to go in to crime scene science/forensics so if I leave my job someday, maybe I'll pursue that again now that I have more experience.

Awesome!

I'm a session and live musician for all sorts of bands and genres (however, so far only for national acts), I give piano, guitar, singing and music theory lessons, I write songs for other people and am just starting out with my own project.

About two or three times I year I spend a couple of weeks testing new cars, just because the down-to-earthiness of cars lets me vent my mind.

I am head of year in my local middle school age group 9- 13

I had a complete career change about 5/6 yrs ago and couldn't be happier

i started writing for a newspaper when i was 16 years old, after some years of doing that i left and started writing my own poetry books with artwork my friend in brazil did. i sold them in local stores at the time as well as Borders books. after writing several books this way, i decided to go into mission work. i traveled to brazil several times with a missionary org based in the dallas texas area. i did this up until i married my husband who i met in brazil on a mission trip. he was also a missionary. after we moved back to the usa i started working at walmart first as an over night cashier, then in the fabrics and crafts dept....i actually really enjoyed it. now days i am a stay at home mom, and i design and create jewelry that i sell in local stores in my city. i really love it, and i make a pretty good living doing it. if i could be doing any job though, it would be mission work again, but just don't think it's going to happen right now. maybe after our son is raised? we'll see.....

In January I started a new job at an arts related nonprofit; I am in charge of overseeing all their finances. The people at my new job are great and I really like the organization but my academic background is art history with a concentration on modern art and critical theory. I would love to be working in the education department of a museum but I just don't think it's in the cards for me so last year I made the difficult decision to focus my career on the finance/admin side of things.

I'm also a Museum Educator for a major contemporary art museum (almost 6 years). As a Museum Educator, I give tours on a regular basis so I do get to use my art history knowledge. If I wasn't able to do that I would likely be pretty bummed about my "career". My previous two jobs (totaling 7 years) were quite brutal for a number of reasons and if I hadn't had my tour guide gig during that time I don't know what I would have done.

I am sure the work is tedious, but the idea of you being a "compliance officer" makes me hot.

I'm a porn star.
