I am fortunate to work as a software developer. Quirkiness is almost expected in high performers and I do not disappoint...

That is the truth! I interface with a ton! It is a requirement for engineers too, LOL.

I'm classified as an office manager, I have a weird jib though. I work at a University and lots of us have very specialized jobs. I could never go anywhere else and make what I make now. Been there 22 years, I'm stuck

I'm a paediatric psychologist. Although having mental illness sucks it does help to normalize things when I'm working with teens.

Anywhere but here I actually hate that question because it makes me feel bad about myself. I use to be a dental hygienist. Then a stay at home mom. Now on disability.

I'm a Real Estate Broker. I work mostly from home with my husband who helps me.

Real Estate is tough and exhausting for me however, I do love helping people find their dream home. Most of my buyers are wonderful appreciative people so I feel very lucky.

In my past I was a Graphic Designer. I miss the creative outlet.

Worked as a cashier for many years. Now I am on disability. Tried going back a few times but the stress got to me. Wish I could just get this anxiety under control.

Currently I'm a professional bladesmith.. which is a blacksmith that makes blades... swords, axes, knives, etc. But I have an MS in aquatic ecology.. which I threw away. A 100 ton captain's license and I've worked as a professional documentary photographer. I haven't been able to hold a career or job.

I worked as a Mental Health Social Worker for some years. It was stressful but I love a lot of the work. I've been on disability since 2016. I just signed up for a healthy cooking class. There are monthly classes. I also found a ceramics class. I'm joining once school starts back. I have an 11 year old I take care of. My other two are young adults and live on their own.
