What do you do for a living?

I waste my days making money for my employer. I am a commissioned sales person and my money is not my own. In this economic disaster, I worry about getting fired so that the employer can keep all my future commissions to themselves.

Insurance Sales, btw. Totally not what I should be doing, but it paid the bills for a while.

Graduate student in Zoology. Although to call it a "living" is perhaps being a bit generous.

What a great idea for a thread! I think it's always nicer to "know" the folks that you share your books with, or a t least a little piece of them. I am a Special Education teacher working for the Early Intervention Department in our county. I work with kiddies birth through 3 years old.

I teach English as a foreign language to high school students.

I'm on temporary assignment in Japan. I am a federal punisher. I whack people with a bamboo cane.

For the most part I am Naomi's Dad.

I get paid to be a Transitional Housing Program Manager for homeless veterans.

On the side, I am the official theological tutor for Pope Benedict.

Is this the sort of thread where we vote for most original occupation in the end?
I didn't stand much of a chance to begin with, but I have a feeling Interbane 's method of earning a living will be hard to...well, I can't say "beat".
Unless the Booktalk forum has recently acquired a lie detector...

I'm sure everyone knows by now I'm an air traffic control apprentice. I worked ATC for 4 years in the Air Force and am now working for the DoT instead of the DoD.

I tried to think of some interesting occupations I could claim as my own, because to admit what I really do, the dullest of dull, is not really how I want to be pictured.
But, I'll come clean. I'm a bookkeeper and in between my debits and credits I think about literature. A bespectacled, middle-aged, modern Bob Cratchit hiding behind my desk, surfing the book sites.
