What do you do for a living?

[Michael]

Hey all. After being on these forums for a while, I started wondering what everyone does for a living. Obviously, some people here are full time pros, but lots of us seem to be pro photogs only part time. What else do you do for a living?

When I'm not shooting, I am a full time college student in Florida, currently majoring in interdisciplinary studies.

When I am not out shooting portraits I am a Debt Collector for a local company.
basically this is what I get paid for 9-5 :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIf4S6I ... re=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIf4S6It3M&feature=related)

I'm a programmer for a small marketing company. I do a lot of the back end work for several websites.

Great question Mike...
I'm a Sr Estimator and Project Manager for Glazing contracting company, and a semi retired pastor/ worship leader. ( Semi meaning: I'm still doing this, but not in a paid position at a church... essentially I'm good for nothing!! :lol: )

After seeing the Judge Brown video Steve posted, I'm sticking with just the title of Photographer, no amatuer or pro prefixes for me!!

PEACE!

I'm a part time cashier/customer service rep for a large home improvement warehouse that doesn't have orange in my colors. This fall I will also be a full time student taking classes to become a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) and then I will be taking courses to become a CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional) and become a network systems admin. I'm a part time computer repairman and techie guy that everyone calls on that need help fixing something.

Part-time photographer starting up a business in my area as well, already have some clients under my belt and a few more set up for this summer. Seems like I'm a professional editor of photos as well. I've got a few people that come to me to do their post-production of the pictures they've taken for their clients. I love working in photoshop, messing with someone's work.. but I love taking pictures as well so that's why I'm going my own way with that!

Can't forget being a fiance either! That's a job all by itself! 4 months from today and I'll be a husband!

I work in a clinical lab in a hospital. Very boring. I come in at 4am and work till 12:30pm every day mon-fri. After 12:30 I go and shoot photography! Thats my part time income.
