    for a living? What's your job? And do you love it or hate it?
    I am taking care of my friend's horses everyday for free right now and I love it. I guess you could say I am "in between jobs";)

    I'm a Licensed Massage Therapist, however, I am "in between jobs" right now myself. When I am massaging, it is the gretest job I've ever had! I love to help people, and touch is one of the most important senses to me. (see link) I'm currently thinking about going to school to become a midwife because I know that being a midwife would fulfill me on a deeper more spiritual level. Women have been giving birth naturally since the beginning of time, to be able to be a part of that would blow my mind.

    Here's a link about touch, and the lack thereof, look for treehuggin' dirtwors reply.

    I work for a private social worker's "firm" if you want to call it that. It's pretty much exactly the same as a law firm except our clients aren't as cool, although we are taking care of a big name mobster's parents while he's away for "income tax evasion" for 5 years or so. My job is the epitomy of the movie Office Space, I pretty much sit at my desk and find ways to gloss over our clients' records so that they look presentable when they apply for Medicare or the sort. It's boring as fuck, but pays better than most jobs I'd be able to find elsewhere at this point, so I'm pretty happy.

    I am a full time mama/student. I'm about to graduate, well, in April, with an Accounting degree, but I hate it, so I don't think I'll be an accountant.

    I'm an editor for the news. I cut together the clips that you see on the news every night. It's fuckin great considering 4 months ago I worked at Subway. I don't have any bitchy managers telling me stupid stuff and trying to fuck me around, treating me like dirt. I don't have to deal with stupid customers, and when I go home at night, I don't smell like mouldy bread. Instead, I sit in my seat and push buttons, and am treated like an actual human. I love it.

    I'm a construction worker full time. I repair roads, lay sewer and water pipe, culverts, etc. I also operate a loader (sometimes) for the company I'm with. I can honestly say I love it. For example today there was an accident where a transport went off the road, and my boss called me at 4:30 in the morning and said can you go clean it up with 5 other guys? I said sure, I got to drive 3 hours to it, worked 8, and drove 3 home...and got paid for it all just because it was on a Saturday:)
