| Support the network for the Coast Guard boats/cutters out to sea and in port. So Network Engineer is the title. It pays the bills and I get some travel. |

I work in higher education at a local university so I guess I am an administrator (sounds broad and boring, but is really a great job) I help adults return to or go to college.

Here's one from the first page of results on JobServe
//jobserve.com/W2AC1795EB3DCE8C3.job
£50-55k is not too bad I think, it's true there are less positions than with MS but there again there is less competition for those positions :)

I applaud you! Full-time mom and home-school your children? Awesome. I applaud all women/men that can do this! :) I wish I had been able to....makes all the difference when you can spend that kind of time with your children....

| By day, an air-traffic controller, and by night.... an air-traffic controller (ugh). This is one career where you can expect to work nights/weekends/holidays until you retire. Shouldn't complain though. It's been berry, berry good to me :op |

You want daytime/nighttime/sideline occupation??
By day I am a consultant with three major long term contracts that keep me very busy. I act as the Quality Assurance Manager at one plant, the General Manager at another plant, and the COO at another. By night I design custom modifications to PC hardware for people who have 'special' needs. As a sideline I provide technical support to about half the population of the town I live in.

I'll post again since it's been months since I've seen this thread and many new folks have come on board since then. ;)
I am a counselor and program director for Project HOPE, a program that serves pregnant and parenting teens in a local public school district. I do a lot of social work, especially considering the kind of case management and individual attention my students need. I work with roughly 50-60 students a year, mostly unwed mothers (fathers, if enrolled in our school, are encouraged to participate as well), and we have an on-site, free-of-charge, fully state-licensed day care to assist the students with one of their biggest and most common problems. I coordinate physician appointments for moms and babies, provide transportation to and from school, appointments, and day care, and I also provide individual and family counseling to all program participants. I could go on and on about the program, but I'll stop boring you now! :o)
Besides the M.Ed. in Counseling, I have a B.S. in Radio/TV Broadcasting (minor in HR). I had dreams of being in corporate video, but after having children, wanted something that would allow me to have reasonable (read HUMAN) hours. I went back to school and became certified in Elementary Education (grades 1-8, science specialization). I taught Science, Public Speaking and Theatre Arts for three years while working on my Master's degree, which at first was in Earth Science (27 hours) but then I changed my mind again and switched to counseling. I was lead counselor at a middle school for 3 years, then 3 years ago I took the directorship at the high school. I have loved every second of my work with kids. I wouldn't change one thing about the career choices I've made. I will eventually go back to school and get my Principal's certificate, but that will be after my kids are older.
Whew! I'm long-winded! :o)

| Once upon a time, I was an inspector,machine operator,supervisor, manufacturing engineer technician,quality engineer and document control person at an electronic cable company over a span of approx. 16 years. I was a sales rep for Olan Mills photography studios for about 6 months.My last job before my boss went stupid and ran the business into the ground, was as a administrative assistant/data director at a company that made fundraising calendars for police,sheriff and fire officials. I talked to these people all day about their calendar photos, and design and I really enjoyed it. I have wanted to work from home as a freelance photographer for a while now but can't seem to get the nerve up to take the plunge, even though now is the time since I am currently unemployed, I still have a shyness in me from my childhood that I disguise well, but is still there holding me back. Everyone thinks I am outgoing and basically I can do a great job for other people, but I lack something when it comes to doing it just for me. I probably need a shrink, Any shrinks here ? |

How great to learn more about you all and what you do to support your hobbies and photography careers! Thanks for sharing--very interesting!
I am:
Formerly, an IT goon (for a decade too long)and presently, a returning non-traditional student in mid-career change for a new career in Forensic Psychology, dashing my English Professor's hopes of a potential career in journalism and/or photojournalism. I'm also the editor of a global publication at the local university between classes. |

Time for an update on me (as my original will be lost deep in this thread)
Ex IT Manager for a Rolls Royce Industrial Power Group company (NT,Solaris,Linux), then Web Specialist working on contracts for Swiss Government departments (Biosafety/Biodiversity), currently a Clinical Database Programmer (developing/maintaining databases use for drug trials).
Would love to get out of IT, a return to Operations Management (I'm a follower of Taylorism) would be nice. I do want to run my own photography studio but I'm saving that for my semi-retirement, keeping it as a part-time interest rather than putting it under the pressure of full-time source of income at the risk of losing my love for it (done that already with computing)
Returning to the UK (after 5 years in Switzerland) in August, currently have no job or house sorted - wish me luck :)
Darren

Full time mum to my 2 boys, worked full time for Britax a well know baby car seat/pushchair company before having my boys.
Now my life is my boys, tumble tots,zoo, adventure playgrounds. Just making them have a happy child hood.....and some cleaning,washing and cooking in between..lol.
I did a part time evening coarse in city and guilds photography. I loved it, but it is soooooooo different to digital. So I need to learn photography all over again, but I am very patient and enjoy it. I have learnt alot from you guys.
