Out of curiosity We probably have a diverse group of people?

I'll start: I'm a graduate student in CS.

Freelance illustrator and designer.

"Jack of all trades (master of none?)" in a business office.  Small enough company that I can have my hands in a lot of areas... product planning, events, design, etc... never boring.  I actually enjoy it.

Microstock a well-paying hobby, working on it a few hours at night... at least for now.

Erlier I worked as a roofer in my own small company.  Microstock woke up my interest for photography, and got me to start with 3d.  And now after 2-3 years I´m a wellpaid 3d artist on a big company.    Thanks for the inspiration:)

I shoot comissioned work.

Software Engineer

In my previous life I had my own graphic design company for about 10 years. Burned out, now I shoot when I can and spend most of my time being a mom.

retired.....manufacturing /construction

Retired:
military
defense contractor
hotel manager
child care specialist
warehouse worker

and all the time (still) making a few bucks with my photography from motorsports action and travel (nature/wildlife) and microstock.

That's a lot of stuff but I have been around for a long time.  

Electronics/Software Engineer ; Retired !! 

Now spend my time walking and taking photos, from which I make a few bucks !

This sounds very nice, the "never boring" part is fantastic. Repetitive work is often what brings people down in the long run. I keep hoping to experiment with different 'trades' at some point in my life.

I was doing microstock full-time, but then I burned out a couple of years ago and reinvented myself as an antique dealer/photographer.

Well I was earning extra income from doing paperwork for the buisness my boyfriend was trying to acquire but that fell through so now micro is my only income.  I'm also a stay at home mom but the pay sucks

My kids paid me in kisses and hugs (and a lot of snotty noses) when I stayed at home last year.

Unfortunately, it's my husbands turn to work from home now, so I'm back to teaching.

*giggles*

Your stay at home pay was better than mine.  They pay me in tantrums and arguing with each other

I am following that.  along with other things.

Here is some soap.

I just had to modify my post to add in the "work-from-home dad" part. Wow, what does that say about my priorities?

Guess I'm just still getting used to that part of my job title. Only been on the job for 4 months.

Next to microstock (which im devoting less and less time to while exploring other macro options) i'm a part time photographer and a part time counselor in a refugee center.
