I'm a staff editor at a large magazine company, on the contract publishing side. I do a huge amount of work for the Musicians' Union, plus my role requires me to research, edit and write about such disparate subjects as consumer goods, crafting, mobile phones, cycling, cinema, rambling, trade unions, computers, physiotherapy – you name it, I've likely tackled it. I wear many hats – figuratively and on a day-to-day basis!

I'm a student currently, working towards a Bachelors of Mathematics. No idea what I plan on doing when I actually graduate but I am sure I will figure that out eventually :D

I'm a trader for a small independent broker/dealer. Since most people don't know what that means, just call me a financial adviser as I'm licensed to do that as well.

I have taught English, Math, and Art for an Alternative Ed. high school for the past seventeen or so years. Alternative Ed. is another name for a school for kids who aren't really into that school thing. We have very few discipline problems and the kids are quite entertaining. As the lead teacher, my duties include handling transcripts, counseling, discipline and whatever else is needed as we do not have a principal on site. I am fortunate that I truly enjoy what I do!

I'm a retired Police Detective Sergeant for a medium sized city. Now I work as a University Police Officer for a small state university. Great retirement gig.

Thats the one thing about being a teacher. It never gets boring. You are lucky not to have a principal seems with the all america blaming its ills on the education system the system has responded by micromanaging everything we do the last few years.

I am fortunate that my principal respects and trusts me to do what is correct. I am also fortunate to work with a wonderful group of people who are supportive of each other, are willing to do what needs to be done, and know how to laugh. And laugh a lot we all do, students included.

Hello. I'm new to the site. Interesting to finally find so many kindred spirits. I've taught English and literature at the college level for twenty-two years. I'm a PADI certified SCUBA diver (starting my Dive Master training soon), and I'm also a Reserve Officer for the local safety department.
