I suppose I haven't posted on here yet - love reading about what other people do!

I am currently working for Head Start with pregnant moms and babies up to 3 years in their homes (similar to Parent's as Teachers). I was previously working for a mental health agency in their youth services until I simply got too burnt out.
I have my Master's in Social Work and just passed my licensure exam yesterday!!!
I will soon be splitting my time with my Head Start babies to assist with serving 11 Head Start sites in 8 rural counties in mental health services again. I'm excited to get back to the area in which I am more comfortable and I hope that it won't be quite as mentally exhausting as my last position!
I will be starting my supervision for my LCSW soon and plan to eventually go into private practice.
I'm also doing the photography thing part-time and maybe it will become full-time eventually (probably after I dump a bunch of money into my licensure!)

I'm a planning technician for my local council; I validate peoples planning applications ( tell them if we have all the stuff we need to consider them), deal with applications to do works to trees which are protected by conservation areas or preservation orders, grant certificate of lawfulness for developments which people can do without planning permission, and consider some small planning applications ( I'm learning).

I love my job, it exploits my nosiness and I get to swan around the district looking at the beautiful architecture in our conservation areas and countryside a couple of times a month. This is what has probably helped to re-kindle my love of photography.

Im an animal rights activist and the head Taxidermist for PETA.
Just Kidding -

Im in Law Enforcement for a small town. I do training and accreditation - which means I dont get to take pictures of crime scenes much any more - but even if I did I dont get to keep THAT stuff.
Started life in Graphic Deisgn, but realized I wasn't as good as most everyone in my class, so I went the Sociology route. I do get to make flyers/posters/web stuff for my agency though - so I get to use a little of it. They've pretty much come to accept I have a camera everywhere, and I'm likely as not to photograph them doing stuff, which usually ends up in our department slide show for x-mass.

In my spare time I play warcraft (for the Foresaken!) and build stuff. Furniture, an airplane, etc. etc.

Hi, my name is Zulkarnain but people call me Ateng.

I been working as product planner for Malaysian national car company, PROTON, for 15 years now. It's a small company but being small its been fun and challenging job to ensure we have good future products to compete and survive among giant automakers, at least domestically.

Hi my name is CharlieJ (almost no one knows me by my last name) and I am a photography addict. I have NO intention of recovering from it either.

For my 9-5, I am the System Administrator for a regional health care system. Primarily, I take care of 20+ servers and the network. From time to time, I also assist end users with workstation PC problems.

Photography has been a hobby of mine off & on since the age of eight (I'm now 47). Currently, I am mid-stream in starting a niche photography business ("photographer for a day" for tourists and senior portraits). Planning to "go live" this coming Spring.
