NC - What do you do?

[Mrs Sabre]

LadyTonya just brought a question to my mind - what do we do for a living?

I'll start. I work for a major bank in the retirement finance area on asset based mutual fund fee recognition. In other words, I'm an over glorified bean counter! :nod:

[wavydaby]

I work in bank as a business process analyst. Basically, people tell me what they do, and I put it in to a visio like tool that shows people step by step what they do.
Oddly enough, I like this job

[Kathy]

I'm a Mom. That means I'm a Doctor, Chef, Housekeeper, Lover, Advocate, Teacher, Helper, Supporter, Chauffeur, Decorator (okay, maybe not that), Organizer, Schedule Keeper, Bookkeeper, Butler, oh, the list goes on. yay me! I love my job. In my old life, I worked with adults with Developmental Disabilities. I was a Program manager for 6 DDA Group Homes at a private, Non-Profit agency in Charlotte.

[Mrs Sabre]

I don't envy you! I love my daughter, and did the best I could while working full-time, but I don't think I could have stayed home if my life depended upon it!

[Kim G]

Well I use to be in banking at the same big bank with Wavy and Mrs Sabre but they sold my division and now I have am very happy working for my Surgeon who did my lap-band. How great is that...for the first time in forever I don't mind getting up going to work and I love helping others.

Kathy - I admire you girl. I couldn't stay home with Curtis even if I could. I love our time together but it does it both good to be a part for some times. I do have to say thought I am not away from him as much as I use to working in the corp world.

[ladytonya]

I'm a legal assistant, a paralegal, whatever you want to call it. Some people think you have to have a degree to be a paralegal but you don't. Sometimes, I feel like a glorified receptionist! I do everything from drafting pleadings to meeting with clients to answering the phones and scheduling appointments. In otherwords, I'm a professional multi-tasker!

[Maryb]

I am the Queen of The Buske/Collins Family. I am totally pampered and spoiled rotten.

[Mrs Sabre]

Mary, it's good to be the queen! I want to be the Queen, but queen of what? I want all the perks without any responsibility. ;)

I'm late in posting, however, I am in corporate banking with karen and wavy. I don't want to disclose the name. I don't like my job, I hate some of the people I work for, and my boss is not my favorite person.

Enough of me being negative, today I listened to my Ipod and pulled hundreds of copies and did some net surfing.

I am also a Masters Degree student / Teacher in training. I am getting certified to become an elementary education teacher here in charlotte and then I"m working on my Master's online at the same time. This is only for 1 year and them i'm off to my new career.

I always have a plan/thought. I thought about paralegal's but I want a job where I can move around and over all make a difference. I do know Kindergarten is not one of my choices to teach, they are too needy.

SOmeday I'll teach college and have the best of both worlds. For now, I'll take banking and the holidays we have off that the rest of the world doesn't and will take teaching and holidays when the time comes. I"m not in a huge rush, but I'm motivated.

I'm thrilled I did my RNY however, I'd never want to work for my surgeon, I'd feel stressed out. Kim has an awsome personality though, I'd send everyone her way if I could.....

I'm a teacher--love it!

[Jachut]

I've been a stay at home mum for the past 10 years, and I'm halfway through a Bachelor of Primary Education.

Before that, when I left school I started physiotherapy. I was pushed into that by my toffee uppity private girls' school who didnt think that teaching was befitting of a young lady of my status and my silly parents agreed and refused to support me doing something so lowly as teaching after they'd shelled out around 100 grand for my education. Bitter, me? Lol. Not really, its all experience. But anyway, I dropped out after two years, I couldnt handle working with so many geriatric patients, so depressing, the smell, the mess, the lack of hope, wasnt for me. So I got into secretarial work, and managed a small customs and sales tax consulting business after setting it up with my boss from Ernst & Young, till I had Fraser. Since then I've done a few utterly crap, lowly jobs part time, just for a bit of money when we've needed it, but when I realised I was unexpectedly up the duff with Eliza and therefore home for another bloody five years (the childcare/tax/welfare situation in Australia means it would cost me more to work than I would earn) I decided to go back and follow my original dream.

Only unfortunately this time I am paying for both the university degree and the childcare, not my parents.

I also work for a major bank in Charlotte, and from the sound of it I would almost bet that it's the same bank that Kim G, Mrs Sabre, and wavydaby works for. I however are in a small office away from almost every one. I am in consumer fraud and deal mostly with the prime equity accounts. Most days are boring, but some days you get to nail some SOB that is taking advantage of the elderly or the honest hard working people.
I was banded 01/26/06 by the famous Dr Bauman. I am new to this site and I have enjoyed the postings. I love the support that this site gives.

[Shellster]

I'm in the banking biz as well. Not the same as the other guys on here. The big red one....anyways, I'm in HR Finance and I am so far liking it. I've been here 3 months when I made the switch from the blue/green to here. Is anyone confused? Sounds like I just fell off of a color wheel!

[Kim G]

I like the color coding...I worked for the blue/green then before that it was some of the smaller banks. Never made it to the red but my mom worked there for several years. hehe

I can say that I love my job now...TOTALLY love it. Wow did I say that.
