| I am a nanny! I thought it would just be a temporary gig, but five years later I'm still doing it! It's great money and my schedule rocks. The good thing about my career is that I can work just about anywhere. The bad thing is if I want to make a good salary, I need to work in a big city and I'm getting burnt out of this big (fake) city. I miss the 'burbs! |

| I'm a professional poker player. I personally have been in your position many times Brit. I was studying pre-law during college when I discovered poker. As I started getting better at poker and making money, my grades fell to rock bottom and I was placed on academic dismissal. I have never had a full time job, so my only earnings have been gambling wins and paid gigs from sponsors or televised opportunities. Although poker has brought me lots of adventure, living life on a roller coaster is rough. My boyfriend is the founder/CEO of a few companies here in San Francisco and because I have a lot of time on my hands, I help him organize his life, make sure things are running smoothly in the house and take care of all the finances (funny - he puts a gambler in charge of the finances!) I find it more gratifying to take care of the people I love rather than be consumed by poker. At some point, I'd like to take classes, volunteer somewhere or even find a part-time job. But, in the meanwhile I just stay home, take care of my babies (my boyfriend and Kaia) and play poker. |

| I work as a medical transcriptionist. I love it!!! I started out going to school to be an accountant, and during my second year I got married, and realized that I wanted to have kids and would never be able to leave them alone. So I went to school and became a medical transcriptionist. I started out working at a local hospital, and now I work from home for a national company. The pay is good and since I telecommute, I don't have to worry about the job market in my small town (which kinda stinks--even before the big economy down turn). I live in Tennessee and work for a company out of Chicago, working on hospital accouts in Hollywood, Corpus Christi and the Atlanta area. So I am not limited by my geographic area. There is also the plus side of working in my pjs |

| pharmacy tech now...going to school to *hopefully* become a doctor (ob-gyn)! I would have loved to be a vet, but the school loans are too expensive for a vet's paycheck |

| I'm a paralegal and have been one for 5 years. I love my job on most days as I work for a plaintiff's firm and handle many personal injury claims but there are days when I dread the work. I'm also working on my Master's Degree in Political Science and History to hopefully teach and get my Ph.D.

| I work in the Marketing dept. of an Insurance Broker's office. We're the middle man. I use to love it, but now it's just a job I applied for, not a job I picked. I also sell AVON on the side.... LOVE DOING THAT!

I did the Rad Tech school thing too. Started at my Comm College in town but wanted to finish sooner. I transfered to a local hospital program and HATED it! Not to mention the schooling was about 12,000K/year. For 25K I was not going to do a job I didn't like. I'm still in Corp. America in Administration. I work for a great company based out of the UK. They have a European approach to business and their employees which is TOTALLY different than US companies. They actually APPRECIATE their employees and reward good work. | |

I guess my only dilemma here right now is to get the college degree or not to get the college degree.... school is so blah for me. I'm so just not into it. I get mixed reviews about having a bachelors. Some people say you HAVE to have it in order to make money in today's world, some people have their degree and STILL can't get a job in today's world. So, it's... who knows. I guess if I really wanted to, I could major in Business to learn how to run my own business but even my own step-father, who has a degree in Business, said he was never really taught much in college on how to run his own business, he taught himself. And he's still paying off college loans. My dad owns his own successful company that his grandfather started and he does very well for himself with no college degree.
