I am a Accounts Recievable collector. Basically I make sure clients, such as banks, businesses, etc. (no personal accounts), pay their late bills! I really like what I do because I enjoy the chase and I DO get the money (the companys money).

So, what do you do???

I am a sales representative for a collection agency. I also, do some collections in my spare time. I primarily call on hospitals, medical clinics, and college's.
Otherwise I occasionally breed a yorkie or two. Really would love to be able to work fulltime with my yorkies. Maybe one day soon this dream will come to pass. I can spend inless hours with my babies and never tire of it. I enjoy reading and researching the breed. I believe if you strive for quality everything else falls into place.

I use to work for a collections agency when I was in High School & it sucked! I had to call people about their overdue medical payments. I would get the worst sob stories! I don't know how many people told me their dog had died so they couldn't make a payment that month!

I work at a temporary Agency, I am a Sr. Service Supervisor for Austin Personnel Agency, we help people find jobs, only perk is if I ever need a job I can find my own, oh and I learned having this job is almost like winning the lotto, you get calls from family members you didn't even know you had to"hook them up" .... LOL

I work at a Family Practice Doctor Office. I work in the front office and kind of do everything. Answering phones, checking people in and out, filing and getting referrals with insurance. I love my job and helping people. The only thing is we are on a raise freeze and I really could use a raise. With heat, gas going up, it would really help!!

I am a Dental Assistant. Have been for almost 18 years now. I do like it at times but would some days love a change. Those days would be when there is not enough hours to accomodate all those "emergency" broken teeth or the nasty mouths or the occasional puking accident. But I have been at it so long that I can't fathom the thought of starting over at minimum wage because I don't have much experience in anything else. Before that I was a Pharmacy Technician and thought I might want to be a Pharmacist then realized that I could make just as much money as a Dental Hygienist. Well, crap I got married and never made it to hygiene school. Went back to school finally but then I had to go and blow it again.......decided to divorce the worthless pain in my *##. So, now I am still just a Dental Assistant. Although I do travel up front and do work there so I do get some versatility in my day. I would love to actually be a Veterinarian but too dang old and stubborn and set in my ways to go back to school now. My dad still tells me that I should have become a lawyer. What the heck does that mean? It doesn't matter that I would argue with a light pole, does that mean I am lawyer material? I did try the stay at home mom job and it sucks. Not enough pay in that job? I couldn't handle being taken advantage of so I decided if that was going to happen then at least I was going to be paid a decent salary for it.

I'm a legal secretary for a small firm, 2 attorneys. Mostly family law with some criminal mixed in. Every now and then we'll throw in a civil case. I was a Mary Kay consultant but never really got off the ground. I think I choked when it came to talking up people. It would be great if I could've gotten my website to take off and just did it that way. Kinda bummed because I was real excited about the idea....

One more RN here! I've worked in ICU (intensive care unit) and CCU (coronary care unit), occupational health, and general staff nursing. But now, after many years of graduate education, I'm a professor of nursing at a major university. I specialize in gerontology and I love teaching my students about caring for and working with older adults. I also do research with persons with dementia and their family caregivers.

I absolutely love my job and cannot imagine doing anything else!!!

Was in Retail Management for years. Decided I better figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up so I quit and went to college fulltime for four years and graduated with an associates degree and two bachelor degrees in the spring of 2004. Also had a paid internship in my last semester at the Capitol working in the Democratic Caucus Chairman's office...Loved it!! After graduation found out our adopted son Tristan was on the way so been a stay-at-home mom ever since. Decided to apply for a position back within the Capitol complex that I've learned about just this past week. Also want to go to law school (after we win the damn lottery to pay for it) but in the meantime I might be taking classes this fall for my Master's in Criminal Justice and possibly Public Administration. Would love to get into criminal law and also teach at the University or Law School level.
