Well untill last week I was the lead mechanic for a high rise hotel now I fix traffic signals. Ah no more stress

[MHooch]

Spooky Sam, tell your mom I totally sympathize with that!! But, I wouldn't trade helping people for any other job. The sad stuff balances out with the times that you really feel like you made a difference for somebody, and that feeling is what keeps us coming back!!

This is a cool thread, another good way to get to know a little about you folks.

My Bachelor's degree is in exercise and health science, and I hope to jump back into that profession one day- but for 4 years now, I've been a stay-at-home mom for our sons with a small house cleaning business on the side. Couldn't be happier with my decision there...I feel like our kids are our biggest investment, and I've been trying to give them my all. The first day of Kindergarten will be sadder for me than it is them.

I'm a civil engineer. I work mostly in transportation, designing roads, but I've done some hydrologic and hydraulic design of culverts and drainage features. I'm a youngin' -- graduated in 2004 and have only been working in my field of study for 3 years this November. I love my job.... provided I don't have to work with any architects. Hehe.

It's nice to see such a broad variety of people who all enjoy Halloween! =)

You are one accomplished lady, Spookyboo! There's a lot of talent on this forum and I'm darned proud to be a part of it.

[Haunted Horseman]

LawP,
I read previously that you are a paralegal. Do you concentrate in any area of the law. Working of the State, would it be criminal, prosecutorial work? Just curious.

[LawP]

HH, we represent the Board of County Commissioners, other elected officials and department directors in county government. I personally work on Sheriff issues - usually alleged civil rights violations filed by inmates - tax matters, public sales, grant and contract administration, liquor code enforcement, community corrections, open records requests, and HUD loan collections for the housing department. Our district attorney handles prosecution and we pretty much do the rest! I love the variety and the research involved.

[Haunted Horseman]

Okay, that sound interesting. If you are involved in Civil Rights issues, you know what I deal with on a day in day out basis. The very foundation of Employment law is Civil Rights. Thanks for sharing.

[LawP]

I only wish I could work more with legitimate civil rights issues. What we usually deal with are bored inmates with too much access to the law library!
