I own my own business, Digital Memories, we shoot weddings.

Full time during the week though, I manage a video conferencing room at a lawfirm in downtown Little Rock. They only have one VC a week and I get to sit here on NICO all day long. The coolest part about my job is the fact that we have some Polycom cams spread all over the world and I can just type in that IP and look over downtown Tokyo LIVE in REALTIME. It's soo cool. We have one in Sydney, too. I can see the Opera House.

I test hearing and diagnose hearing losses. I also sell/fit/service hearing aids. Trained as a network admin but found soo much competition in computers... so I found a field a little less sparse.Would love to be a chef as I love to cook so much.

Field service tech on large industrial centrifugal blowers. I mostly do laser shaft alignment and vibration analysis/troubleshooting, with occasional mechanical work.

Not at all a bad job; great resume builder for a career in any kind of machinery failure prediction/analysis.

The travel gets old though...I spent the first part of last week in AL, doing some vibration work on a huge blower at a paper mill, then spent the last half in Canada doing a startup on a blower at an oil field. This week I'm in central FL doing the same: vib work right now, startup later in the week, both at waste water plants.

I'm a Marine reservist as well, but only for about 9 more months...WOOHOO.

my mom is/was in the medical field as an LPN, now she is a substance abuse counsler (sp?)

my mom has had some of the coolest freaking jobs.

since she has been a nurse she worked at a psych ward at a vetrans hospital, a scitzophernic (sp?) taught her how to play cribbage (she was one of the only nurses that wasnt' afraid to interact with the inmates)

she has worked at two different prisons as a nurse, one medium security, and the one she works at now as a counsler is minimum security.

before i was born she was a powder monkey (blew **** up) her license when she got it was a lifetime license, although probably not anymore.
