Part of me kind of misses doing the media relations stuff. It sounds like you do it on a higher level than I did (I did it for a legal non-profit); sometimes it drove me crazy, but it was fun.

I am a Captain in the Army

I'm an Exec Admin/Program Coordinator on a contract for Customs...I spend my whole life taking and typing minutes.

Just graduated and I'm working with a lobbying firm in DC. And I'm tutoring with Kaplan for the SATs and GREs on the side so that I can put my degree to good use and make some extra cash to help pay off my student loans ASAP!

I like it sometimes. It makes me sad when I read the articles reporters have written about us because it usually just makes me think about how I would have written it differently. After my life settles down a little bit (getting married in a month), I'm going to start pursuing reporting jobs.

That's funny, I actually used to feel the same way. I thought it helped out a bit to have a journalism background, because when you were trying to pitch things to outlets, you can at least show that you have an understanding of their job and daily demands.

I tried going back to the reporting thing briefly, but I found that I didn't love it as much as I did when I was writing professionally in high school and at the beginning of college (sports and politics reporter for a couple of local papers).

I joke that my career has slowly gotten more cynical, from reporter, to media relations, and now law school...

Oh, and congrats on the upcoming wedding.

I do Client Data Management (manage the information in the database) and Accounts Receivable billing for a satellite networking company. I also back up the Manager of the Dispatch department as necessary.

I'm a District Manager for a retail company (killer hours)

I also run a Greek Store on the side with a couple of my fraternity brothers.

I'm an officer in the US Army (Military Intelligence Branch) and I love it.

I am the News Editor for a member-driven non-profit organization.

I am an eligibility worker for a county government. I determine and maintain eligibility for families who receive food stamps, Medicaid and TANF. I make referrals to other county programs or agencies or non profits when necessary. Its a LOT of paperwork, a ginormous caseload (~500 right now), policy, training and political issues, especially immigration. On the other hand, most of my coworkers are amazing and I like my job. Most days.

So, I know this post is old, but I had to say something.

Go into exotic animals and you'll have very loyal business. I have two chinchillas and the only exotic animal specialist is in Raleigh, so I plan on moving closer once I graduate.

And, us lovers of exotic animals need some well trained, highly qualified vets to take care of our babies.

After playing around in Television Production Management for about 25 years, I've gone back to where I started.

I'm a television director.

And now I am a reporter! I cover the House and Senate floor.
