I never went to college so I never had a career. I got married and started a family at a young age. I've had a ton of jobs, but never anything I could make a good career out of. So, I was just wondering, what is everyones job or career? And what does your job entail?

front desk management - Picture of guest services agent behind the front desk of a hotel
Hi, delmeg. I have had tons of jobs too and I went to college. My first career was as a Machine Engraver; I was one of the best on the east coast. In my day, I engraved keys to the city of New York and other prestigous awards. This is the career that started off as a job to get me through college but developed into much more. Next, I joined the military and retired after nearly 16 yrs service. I tried working in a call center but was difficult due to my hearing loss; so I went back to college and got certified in hotel/restaurant management. Now I work at a hotel as a front desk manager three nights a week. The rest of the week I work as an independent marketer online, as an independent business owner, and as an affiliate marketer. I really like working for myself and mostly from the convinence of my own home.

I gave up my job 2 1/2 years ago. After finishing college I had a long career as a PA/Office Manager and had some really fab jobs but my last one was in a large comprehensive school and I hated every minute of it. I started off as Office Manager but we had a new Headteacher and he said he wanted me to take over as Personnel Manager. I stuck it there for 5 years and because I was so unhappy my husband kept on at me to leave, so in the end we decided both of us to leave our jobs, sell our house and relocate to another country, which we did in 2006. We have a smallish income but not nearly enough to give us the kind of life we want to live so I am trying to earn extra money on the Internet. I have recently set something up which I hope will give me the extra money that I'm looking for.

I just resigned from my job March last year. I was an Accounting Supervisor. Being an accountant is my profession. I got a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy degree and passed the certified public accountants board examination. I had three other jobs before my last job. Now, I have a new career - a fulltime wife and mother.

I have had a lot of job. I am now a full time internet marketer. I gave up my job at Tesco when I felt that I can earn more with affiliate marketing. I was a customer service department leader there :) But fortunately my current job is the best. I have to work a lot, but my earnings are depending on me, and only on me.
