I'm an ER doctor.

I treat the sniffles that could have waited to see their primary doctor, I pat the hands of anxious middle age women who stopped taking their Zoloft, I have mastered the art of telling people "you don't need antibiotics for a virus", I get yelled at by the subspecialists for making them do their job that they are getting paid to be on call for, I prolong the life of gomers who for all intents and purposes died 8 years ago but the family still wants me to "do everything", I sign forms legally allowing me to keep teenage girls in the hospital against their will because they decided to take 7 measly Xanax in the hopes of ending it all, I get cussed at, I get spit on, I have punches thrown at me, and occasionally I get to save a life.

I love my ****ing job.


I do this every 6th day and on day 3 between the 6 I ride in a fire engine

It's a good gig

I chop up dead monkeys and mice in the name of science. The work is fun, the people with whom I work are cool (mostly). It's the people in the Admin building that ruin a lot of the good times though.
SWR?
No. MD Anderson.


Did your group get hit by the recent layoffs?

Engineer. I help make sure stuff is where it should be up in orbit. The musical chairs involved with contracting can be demoralizing at times, but I love what I do.

Our campus did (5 people, I think), but my department did not.

I'm a postpartum (mother/baby) RN. I get to see families grow. 90% of my job is happy. I work long hours though to make sure that parents can take care of their child for the first few days.

I used to be an oncology nurse. I didn't like it.

3 years of experience required, plus 7 individual classes plus a cumulative.

It's not super hard, just a bit tedious and time consuming.

Technical lead for Production Operations of a top company. Basically means I'm a SME of the systems that support our manufacturing, namely ERP and MES. Mostly my job entails making our manufacturing more efficient, which often means replacing SAP functionality with MES because SAP and efficient are like oil and water.

Currently working a big project that has me working from when I get up to when I go to sleep. Not loving that but I do love the challenge of what we're doing. I also love getting to travel and see how some of the most complex products in the world are made. Once the big projects are over though, I'd like to step out of the trenches a little.

I'm a zoo keeper, reptiles.

I work with mambas, rattlesnakes, etc.

It definitely keeps me on my toes, every day is a different adventure. How do you look into a viper's mouth? How do you weigh a squirmy salamander? How do you hold a gecko that likes to projectile **** on you? How do you feed a 16' croc safely?

It's generally dirty and unglamorous but I love it and I love my critters.

Recently retired, now spend my time on a beach not worrying about money. Absolutely love it.

Prior to retiring in December was a mid-level manager and project lead for a major O&G company. Took a "golden handshake" that was offered and retired at age 54.

I'm a project manager for a waterworks company.

Never would have imagined this would be the way I put bread on the table, but it's literally the best job I've ever had. Incredibly blessed to have it, and I enjoy both what I do and where I live.
