Im a lazyboy so i mostly sleep
i need one of those.
Lay-z-boy recliner. Probably one of the most iconic lounging chair companies I know of.
Unfortunately, I have no profession. But I had the chance to acquire a ridiculously large amount of skills from various areas, from writing (10 books self-published on Amazon), blogging, coding (PHP, Objective C, AngularJS and a few other exotic languages like lua), up to reading astrological charts (I generally avoid telling people that I know that, but I extensively use it for myself and my close friends).
Occasionally, the planets are aligning in such a way that I can also make money by mixing one or more of these skills.
A man doesn't need simply one profession if he has the skills to survive applying what he knows to live. :)
Am a pet-sitter. Started my own business when the mortgage bubble burst in '08 and my profession basically went POOF! Hubby was a new-construction painter back then, so his job went POOF! at the same time. Woohoo, double whammy!
I much prefer dealing with four-leggeds than two-leggeds most days. The Steemians I've met so far fall into the 'good egg' category.
Hubby followed his interests and works in a - get this - coin shop. He's been a collector since he was 6.
We have the old guard and the new under one roof. Ha!
best. job. ever.
That's what I keep telling myself as I scoop out the litterboxes...
Just kidding! I knew that was part of the gig upfront. The kisses, cuddles, and daily laughs mostly make me immune to the yucky aspects.
Now if I could just have a George Jetson car...
I've often stated that dogs are better than people to have around!
It's amazing how ones way of life can be changed by external factors not even under our control.
If the husband is doing what he loves and you enjoy what you do all the power to you!
Agreed! The side benefit is we rarely come home complaining about work. That's always a plus.
I'm a writer and sometimes editor.
That's awesome! I used to love writing but haven't really kept on top of it.. My grammar and spelling have deteriorated significantly since being out of school.
Yes, it does take a lot of practice to keep on top of things.
I've noticed since joining Steemit, my writing is flowing better, I'm writing more and the stories are just coming to me.
I've published a book of short stories since joining Steemit - I admit they were mostly already written before I joined, but the next book is almost ready now - 2 books in less than a year is quite good going I think :)
I'm an intern at this startup blockchain company. Mostly just QA work :)
^ Startup blockchain company eh..?! :D
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
Good one - the sparta clip! They don't need to say their profession - their energy shouts it.
I LARP for a living. That means I do storytelling, I play with kids, make-believe, swashbuckling, experiential education, and the behind-the-scenes admin drudge work to keep the chariot rolling. :)
That is awesome man.
Live Action Roleplay is something I've always wanted to do but simply put no one does it here in Central Canada.
Perhaps once I get myself some armour built I'll start something up here. We DID have a stick fighting league when I was younger but due to the combatants constantly injuring eachother we stopped it. :P
I've fantasized about heading to Canada for Bicolline - the largest and most immersive LARP environment in North America:
http://www.bicolline.org/
The Duche de Bicolline is the world’s largest medieval, fantasy immersive site in the world. Set in the foothills of Northern Quebec, it is situated on nearly 350 acres of pristine woodland, and is occupied by hundreds of permanent buildings including a fully functioning inn, churches and countless cabins. It is by far the most immersive medieval setting in the world.
other Canada larps:
In Toronto: Website: http://www.epoch-larp.ca
NERO in Hagersville Ontario
Both are east of me.. Quebec is like it's own country to be honest. Never felt like such an alien in my own country till I went through there on a trip to the east coast.
Appreciate the share of info sir!
Great minds huh
You must have listened to our podcast the other day ;)
https://steemit.com/votu/@beanz/voices-of-the-underground-episode-3-operation-curation
I did not.
As many here know, I am an attorney. Im a plurality stake holder in my firm, which mainly deals with helping off shore corporations do business in the USA, and helping them get their profits in such a way as to avoid having them stolen by their (or our) governments.
I teach. :)
A noble profession.
Me too 😊
:)
I've been teaching English since 2001, first in China, then Turkey, and now Morocco.
International Teachin'!
Yes, ESL.
Hmmm, well I build furniture from reclaimed pallet wood.
I've also been teaching myself graphic design (Photoshop and Illustrator) over the past 2 years or so...hoping that goes somewhere eventually. Haha
Nothing wrong with being crafty!
Android (Java) Programmer
Network Administrator (CCNA)
Systems Administrator (Proficient in Linux Debian and Windows Enterprise)
A man of many talents.
Yes, but it's not as fun as Steeming and building a community. I prefer to just do this.
If you find a way to have fun and make money you're either a hooker or got life figured out. :D
Well, I am now a professional PIMP for STEEM so I guess I fall in the hooker category.
ROFL. What you do for a living? "I am a STEEM hooker." XD
professional architect with an art background ;)
Awesome! How many years were you in post secondary to become an architect?
too long my friend... accredited arch programs are 5 years in the states, plus ~ 2 years in graduate school for urban design.
Wow. That is a hell of a long time to be in school!
I guess as long as you enjoy what you do that makes life less crap. :D
Haha, it does ease the pain. Pro tip, just try not to look at your student loan statements. Maybe one day FedLoans will accept steem... hmmm...
I refuse post secondary until I "know what I want to be when I grow up" :P
I perform scientific research for a biotech company.
That's bad-ass! Making chimeras or working on disease fighting?
I actually study how enzymes work. Currently in regards to DNA replication enzymes but who knows what going forward.
No chimeras in my work, I don't have the opportunity to do cellular work unfortunately. I'm on a bit of a smaller scale then that!
The "telomeres" (not sure I spelled that right) are something that interest me..
Some say that is the secret to immortality... Not that I would wish that on anyone, :)
i don't know if i understand it correctly, but from reading, i get the impression that telomere length is a trade off. Longer telomeres mean a higher probability of cell mutation and cancer.
I wrote a post where I discuss them a few days ago, if you are interested in them. It's in relation to research showing that infections during our first few months of life cause telomere shortening, and can weaken our immune system function later in life.
Would make sense.. Almost as if we have pre-lengthened life fuses taht can be burned up faster or slower depending on environment?
Responding to comment below here. Not exactly, it's a normal function of cellular division that they get shorter (due to how DNA replication works). The early infections just cause a lot of immune cell replication to fight off diseases and for some reason at that stage, telomerase (the enzyme which keeps telomeres from shortening as quickly) is not sufficient to prevent significant shortening. Don't know why yet, more research into it will be necessary to better understand and the why. They have just reported the observation that this happens.
Appreciate the explanation. That is what I kind of figured but had no way of knowing for sure.
Carpenter/Painter...:)...
Ah, Right on! Do you do the finishing work or the framing? both?
Both...;)...
That is the best way to be. More skills the merrier!
Exactly ...:)...
We need an active asksteemians tag to get quality discussions going!
Good initiative! :)
I rarely do these types of posts but saw the 300 clip this mornign and it inspired me to ask Steem users what their profession is. :)
I am a particle physicist (and teaching physics when I don't do research).
You'd mentioned you worked at CERN at one point or?
Also, As a particle physicist is the "standard model" taught in school even close to reality?
I worked locally at CERN from 2012 to 2014 (was on leave from my university at that time). I am actually working with many people physically there, and I still have an office there, as a (theorist) member of one of the LHC collaboration. But my home institution is now in Paris.
At the university, yes (at the master level in France, for instance). I taught it myself for years, for instance.
Straight tech head :P web admin coding technician network admin, name it ive played with it.
Your path is much like my current one. :D
HARROO
Isn't a profession.
Lmao. That is pretty damn funny
IT professional. Currently working with Self Organizing Maps & "Big Data". (Mostly Hadoop + Hive + Hunk)
I'm a developer. I do Oracle databases and C++/C#. I don't do web stuff, but I'm trying to learn about that and Python in my spare time. I'm looking to experiment with the Steemit blockchain.
Awesome Steve! I want to get more into the C / C++ side of things when time allows it.
I'm a software developer & tech support specialist for a big global investment bank. If you'd like to know more, I started writing some posts on it - see my House of Cards series. My technical background is mainly C++, with a little Java / Scala thrown in for good measure.
That's sweet man. Developers have great power to create.
Well, no profession, I have done many things from active military, security, even took care of my grandmother before she passed away, well mostly my wife did, I help where I could. Trying to relearn programming, and getting more involved with cryptocurrencies. Finally convinced my wife it is the way to go!
It is the way to go. Programming and developing can set you free!
This is so true, wish I never would have forgot all that stuff years back.

I love that movie!
If I made a list of what I've invested the "prerequisite" 10,000 hours to say my profession is... it would be:
writer/blogger, editor, small business owner (retail, food service & online), community moderator/advocate/ombudsman, social media addict, front-end web designer, office jockey, singer, student of psychology & life, mother, wife, the weird one...
0_0
THAT is an impressive list of skills / work..!
I'm a ceramic artist specializing in tile
Can't say I know anyone who does such work! Now I do.
;-)
Will do!
