I cook and do 90% of the purchasing for a catering company. We do the lunches to the writers and producers for two television shows.
well, I was a Telecom Project manager handling installation, integration and field tech support until the telecom bubble burst. Great job, wish I could get back to it.
Before that a Logistics Analyst for a chemical company, until I got tired of travelling to ugly places where things are stored that could kill me.
Now I’m a stay at home dad. Who knows what I’ll be next?

I’m a legal writer. I spend my days reading court decisions and writing them up as articles for various newsletters. I can have fun with it if I get an interesting case, but it’s generally pretty dull.
By night, I’m an aspiring comic book writer.
Film Archivist
I work in the physics department of a large public university building and fixing demonstrations that the instructors use to illustrate physical concepts to their classes. I also do a fair amount of A/V classroom support and some web development.

Right now I stay at home with our toddler (she’s 2.5 yrs old). Before that, I was an elementary school teacher with a specialist certificate in Psych of Reading.
I’m attempting to change careers, which is hell. It’s difficult to convince the HR people in the private sector that I certainly can deal with an entry level position (that only requires a highschool diploma; I have a Masters) and they should hire me.
One word of warning to teachers, particulary primary education: If you plan to make a career change, do it before you have 10+ years of experience. Otherwise, you just get the “Teacher” stamp which does not rub off easily.

Geez, what a fascinating variety. I’m a copy editor/reporter at a small daily newspaper. Have been with the company 14 years and have done nearly every job - ad sales, composition, photographer, darkroom (a thing of the past, now with digital cameras and 1 hour labs in town for when we want to use film), editor, editorial writer, columnist, editorial cartoonist (well, just one, but it was a good one). Heck, I’ve even inserted flyers and delivered routes.
Have also worked off and on for 35 years at radio stations - DJ, news, ad sales, sales manager, traffic manager, computer specialist, station manager, and for several years a stockholder. That’s retreated to voice work a couple of sessions a week these days, but it’s nice to keep the connection.
