I have been posting on this website for about 8 months now and recently a question has crossed my mind. It is what do you all you people do for a living? Ifyou are not ready for the work force yet What grade are you in? I have inferred that Missouri's finest is a police officer. What about the rest of you? I am a medical coder by the way. Which means I take diagnoses and procedures and turn them into numerical codes so insurance companies  can reimburse and statisticians know who gets sick with what. What's your story?

That's a cool job. I am currently employed at Barnes and Noble Booksellers as a zombie hunter...no just kidding. I proudly work in the cafe, and I get AWESOME discounts. However, I am an even prouder member the Delayed Entry Program and will be joing the Navy in September. Woohoo! Go Navy!

You mean Mandalorian? I thought he was a minor. Anyway I'm in HS with no occupation at the moment.

It is pretty cool. Can be stressful too, especially if the mines don't forecast enough in advance.

I could probably find a video of a shot being fired, but no I can't give you any explosives :P

Good luck finding another job Sharra. I have my fingers crossed for you that you find a new job soon (fingerscrossed)

I am a stay at home mum at the moment. I would like to work from home though once the younglings have gone to school as it is not going to work out for me to return to work.

I'm starting out my freshmen year in college.  I'm not working or anything on the side because my mother didn't want me to have to worry with that because that's why she didn't graduate from college.  She worked days and went nights and it got really exhausting for her, so she's against my ever getting a job until I'm out of school.

Currently in 10th, no job as of now. Over the summer I'll have to pick something up, recover from an out flux of cash (which will probably be taken care of because of Christmas, btw) for my armor. It's not cheap. And whatever I want to buy. Thankfull, I'm getting my dad's car, and as its nearly as old as me, I'm not having to pay.

I've mostly been a stay at home mom, but my kids are in college so I can't use that as an excuse for not working anymore. I went to college for computer programming, but I'm out of date for that and hated it. I've been trying to take a class to get a Realtor license but the two colleges in my area haven't been having them because of lack of interest. So I guess I'm a bum. :)

I'm a professional photographer. I work mostly with schools and sports leagues. I plan to branch off and start doing more family and wedding type things 'cuz that's where the money is.

I travel a lot for work since my company services three states. I've been thinking about bringing my little Boba action figure on the road with me and taking photos of him at all the tourist-y things I do in my spare time away from home. Kinda like the "roving gnome" but waaaay more Kick @$$! would anybody be interested in seeing that series?
