What is your job? Do you enjoy it? If so, what are your aspirations in your field? If not, what would you rather be doing?

I am a nurse and love nursing especially in a hospital environment. Working in a private clinic for a male nurse can truly be a royal pain as I can testify to. I have seen people get promoted that had no formal management training and were unqualified for. I detest office politics that you have to tolerate in clinics. In the clinic I worked at back stabbing was the norm of the day. As a male nurse you are expected to be squeaky clean of mouth and thoughts while the girls say or do whatever they want.

I'm a technical instructor. I teach our customer's operators, maintenance personnel, and electricians how to set up, operate, maintain, and repair their machines. The company I work for manufactures automated equipment for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

I am a GIS technician, which means I create and maintain geographic databases and do analyses of geographic data. I used to be in Aerospace but after being laid off last January, I retrained for this field.

Full time student.


Part time in the military (and by that, I mean I'm the traditional one weekend a month/2 weeks a year Air Guard member).


At the moment, I should be done with both in 2011.

Truly though, I began my career as a toy designer, then I ran a studio that paid for a masters and PhD in Mechanical Engineering, moved again and learned how to work on hot rods...build, paint, pinstripe, airbrush, you name it and began building steel sculpture, moved again continuing the sculpture while I developed new artist's materials in Powdered Metal via the sintering process-even had my formula named after me! THEN opened a small manufacturing company (in the style of Rube Goldberg-truly my spin casting was a comedy of errors until perfected.......this story is getting long.........closed the factory, sold my farm, downsized so that I could follow my passion: steel sculpture. It comes from my heart, my head, and my life experience and took the next step and began writing about my characters. Where will it all lead? My grandest dream would be to combine my entire life experience and design and build a Children's Museum of Art and Science. Good old hands on down to earth learning. I would name it Ripples...

I do collision repair. I like the actual work. Dealing with the customers is a different story! But the money's good. I make more than most do with a degree.

Marketing for a software firm in the financial services industry. It's interesting, pays well, and provides amazing travel opportunities. That said, I'd quit if I won the lotto...
