I'm a copy editor for a newspaper.
Next time, we'll have to do weirdest job, too. Mine was my first job. I worked at a pickle factory. Kruger & Sons, Home of the Happy Pickle, in Hayward, Calif.

I'm always impressed and jealous of YTers' lives!

Did you have to wear a pickle suit? lol ;)

:lol tears :lol tears :lol tears that would suck! LOL

Har, har, har! That's what I get for blabbing.
But no, not selling pickles, MAKING pickles.
I'd have to stand up on these huge vats, and someone on a forklift would dump cucumbers in on me. I would have to level them off and salt them.
After about a week, I made the decision to go to college.

Then again, now the bosses dump worse stuff than cucumbers on me.

damn, i thought daycare was bad!!! :eyetearss :eyetearss :eyetearss
Did you ever get hit with a flying cucumber LOLOL

lol. As a matter of fact, cucumber fights were the highlight of the job! My brother would be on an adjacent vat!

:eyetearss :eyetearss

I work for my parents at a cultured marble company in the office. It is pretty boring and I sit like 2 feet away from my mom all day I would not recommend this to anyone. By the time that Friday rolls around every week I am so ready to get away from here!!!! Other than that my job is really easy I dont do a whole lot of anything except for sit on YT all day and read magazines

I couldn't work a pickle factory...... I'd end up eating half of what I made throughout the day! I love the things!

I'm certainly not winning any prizes for the best/most fun job... I'm an underwriter for an E&S insurance broker.

I'm a stay at home mom & a student. I absolutely love being a stay at home mom. I'm really enjoying school as well. Much more so than I did at 19.

I love my job!!
 

My very very FAVORITE job is "Rock Star", but since I don't do that anymore, I am a mortgage broker!! I have been doing mortgages now for about 12 years, and I absolutely adore my job! I work with over 40 different lenders and can pretty much find a mortgage loan for just about ANYBODY, even people who have had really bad credit issues in the past, foreclosures, bankruptcies, etc.

One of the best things about my job is helping first time homebuyers get a house. They are soooooo CUTE!! So scared and helpless, kinda like little puppies!! I get to hold their hand and walk them through the process every step of the way, and when they are done with the closing and they get that front door key handed to them, well... I am getting cold chills right now thinking about the shining light of joy on those faces!! It makes me feel like a goddess!! :D I do first time homebuyer classes, and that's cool too. It's amazing how little people actually know about credit and financing. I sure wish educators would concentrate more on teaching our kids the importance of good credit.

I also love getting single women into houses! It sure is quite the empowering thing! :D

Gee, I really DO love my job, don't I??

I'm a Small Business Owner/Child Care Provider. This is the most fulfilling career I've ever had, working with children is the BEST! I am new to YT and still in the research stage but i'll be a Yorkie "Mom" soon enough. :rolleyes: I am thankful to have found such an informative site and great potential forum buddies! All of the dogs I've seen on this site are so beautiful and loved and that warms my heart. I to hope I can give a lil furbaby such a loving home & family.

(I have tried to post this message like 3 times...LOL...still tring to figure out how the reply works)

Well. I get paid to feed my kids, play with my dogs, type on YT, surf the web, take a nap around 2:00, talk on the phone, wash clothes/dishes/dogs/kids. Wow!!! I do alot to be unemployed! :D

I LOVE your job...lol..You want to switch? My job is totally fun, you get to meet TV execs, and do cool stuff like that?? Have I convinced you yet?

Found this old thread
 

And found it terribly interesting. Feel like I know most of you a little better now.

Are there any more newbies like me who missed this? If so, 'fess up!

I am a retired City Secretary.

Also, seemed like there were quite a few either in or from the Houston area?
How many in a 100 mile range?? I would fit in that category.
