Truthfully, I am a working actor with many gigs, but the most steady is with Universal Studios in Orlando.
I work in the compliance dept of an investment company. But essentially, I'm a glorified office assistant.
I work as a divemaster/instructor in the British West Indies...till July. July I work as a Underwater Videographer in the British West Indies...
I work in the study abroad office at the U of MN.
Presently I'm working at Whole Foods, as Customer Service Clerk, hoping to work that up to their "Food Concierge/Personal Shopper" position when they decide to open that possibility up at this new store in Nashville. I've been most kinds of telephone operator, including a five year stint as a 911 Supervisor, worked for the welfare office in Oregon, did a stint with FEMA in 1982 (when they still were a decent organization) and was a docent for a redwoods forest in California. I've enjoyed volunteering as a dog walker for a humane society and in my son's various schools over the last 15 years. I've mostly have worked in the entertainment industry, as a rare records store buyer/clerk and managed many musical acts in my time, including owning my own indie label. I'm proudest of having been Vice President from the startup phase to the eventual rampant success of the second largest entertainer's tour coach company in the US.
Ok, So I have nothing all that great like most of the people here but I hope to be soon.
At this time I am a Librarian for my community library as well as an Independent Mary Kay Beauty Consultant (not active at this time) and a part time model.
I am going to school for Fine Arts and trying to Major in Interior Design but I also want to be a photographer, animator, computer graphics designer, multi media, interactive media, painter, jewelry maker, fashion designer, sculptor, model, actress, singer, dancer, pilot, astronomer, archeologist, geologist, crafter, skydiver instructor, scuba diver, and entrepreneur.
(I have HUGE goals for myself and I think I am going to remain in school for the duration of my life trying to become everything I want to become. I LOVE learning.)
I work from my studio at home. It has perks as I am lucky I don't have to answer to "the man" but there are times when I miss banter with fellow cohorts.
It can get a little bit lonely during the day!

I'm predominantly a student, so school comes first, but this summer, aside from being a wench at CORF, I'm also a theater technician at our local theme park, Elitch Gardens. :)
Office Manager/Admin Supervisor for a mental health clinic...
Yes, it is ironic...
I worked with children with behavioral disabilities and mental illness and was an instructor at the graduate school level for 13 yrs.
Now I'm at home, a domestic engineer/goddess taking care of my husband, dogs and 2 yr old identical twin boys.
For me, being a mother is WAY harder (now I'm the one with behavioral difficulties and mental illness) ;)
I am a mother, a bartender at a little neighborhood bar, and a rope artist- in that order. I look forward to getting back out of the bar business as soon as possible, hopefully to pursue a more thought provoking job of some kind.
(yes, I know "rope artist" is vague-- I will happily link my art site to anyone who's truly interested {send me a message}, but for the most part it means I make things that involve pretty knots and I occasionally tie some of those pretty knots onto folks for the purpose of costume, garb, photography, or random silliness)
I'm basically assistant office manager for a plumbing and mechanical company. So many little hats I can't name them all.
I'm an editorial assistant for the US Chess Federation. Nope, don't play chess--just take care of business for the 2 magazines and many tournament publications they put out.
I am a high school biology teacher taking a sabatacle as an operations clerk for Schwan's Food Distribution. Operations clerk translates to freezer monkey.

I'm an IT Business Analyst/Project Manager/Pinata at 3M.
My primary occupation is jacking with my boss' head.
I'm the office manager for a direct mail company (NO! I can't take your name off the list.) Being the only full time employee I do everything from maintain the network to scrub the toilet. Oh, and I walk Seamus, the bosses black lab, every afternoon when I take my smoke break. *chuckle*
As for who writes/signs my checks, I work as a Production Artist in the pre-press division of a major pre-press and printing company based out of Illinois. But, stay with me here, I provide my services for one of our customers, a major consumer electronics retailer, HQ'd in Fort Worth, TX (where I both live and work).
I am a self employed game designer that has been in business since 1989. I even have a few faire related products at IcePack Games. If you are interested we are redesigning the site now but the old version still works http://IcePackGames.com (http://icepackgames.com)
I'm unofficially unemployed at the moment. Technically, I'm an automotive mechanic, but have been put on 'indeffinite on-call status' due to the tanking economy, and bosses who aren't quite keeping up with the learning curve of running a shop.
So now I'm a SAHD, or stay at home dad, taking care of my 16 month old daughter.
Looking for basic crap job, part time, to keep up with a car paymnt, and get my rear-end back to school to get a real job I might actually enjoy.
I'm the business analyst for the payroll office at the City of Phoenix. Just three weeks ago we completed a reimplementation of our HR/Payroll system that was three grueling years in the making - and we did NOT end up on the front page of the newspaper! (so there, ASU! :P) I'll be eligible to retire in only 17 months and I just may do so!

Ahhh, work. I used to have a really interesting job. In the Air Force I was a nuclear weapons safety instructor. I could tell you more about it but then I'd have to... well, you know the rest. Now, I'm a server at the Olive Garden. Not as much money, but a heck of a lot tastier. ;)

That's one of those interesting things, work. To say it simply, I work in education in computers and in instruction. I do enough of it that I can honestly call myself a diver.
However, the description of "law enforcement researcher" is more accurate to what I do, the level of knowledge I possess, the tasks I am given ............... it's just one of those things "out there" that though more complete, is probably more mysterious.
