I used to a Camp Director and I miss that time so much! I was also a teacher once upon a time (had to put that English degree to use). I currently have a small portrait photography business and coach a high school sport.

Fourth or fifth "career" for me. The ones I've spent the most time in were a commodities buyer (raw metals) for a Fortune 50 company, then I owned a company that made outdoor clothing that we sold all over the world. Now, I'm a SAHM homeschooling our kids and managing the real estate I bought prior to kids. Not the career path I'd planned but our oldest suffered a brain injury as a baby in a surgery gone wrong and we've never found a school district who could handle the special needs because it's not on easy check mark on an IEP. So, after multiple attempts and fails at brick-and-mortar with #1 kid, we started homeschooling all of them. I wrote a lot before my kids were born but I've been away from writing for a long time. Some of my kids are getting into writing so they encouraged me to start writing again. So, here I am.

Chartered Accountant! Studied on the job straight out of college (UK based so since I was around 19/20) and fully qualified by 25. I work full time for a bank but also work my weekends away on building up my own business. Ideally I want to go fully self employed but I also don’t think I want to work in finance for the rest of my life... my creative side is screaming for me to do something else with my life (creative accounting is illegal ;) ) but alas, the bills need paying somehow!

Oops, I totally forgot to check this thread for replies and completely missed this, sorry! Editor and reporter for a daily newspaper was my dream job growing up! My little town only had a weekly newspaper. The podcast is called Witches, Magic, Murder, & Mystery!

Project manager at a large (Swiss) bank. When I'm not feeling inspired I build detailed excels to track writing progress and plotting. So last year I work on the computer all day, make dinner and put the kids to bed, then go back to the same office and computer to write...

I'm an environmental health and safety professional.
There is a series of health and safety detective novellas in the back of my head...it's almost like I can hear my protagonist waking up. Her voice is getting louder.

Media relations manager for the digital arm of the National Health Service over here in the UK. It’s awesome...I get to write geeky stories half the day on our tech and stats, and spend the other half scrambling to stop bad stories about wonky tech or allegedly crooked contracts from getting out. :D. I love it!
So many interesting jobs in this thread!
