What do you TB'ers do for a living??

Little town 25 miles south of Pittsburgh called Washington, PA.

Left there in '81 and have never been back. Not because of bad sentiments, I just haven't had any reason to go back. Skipped my high school reunions and grandparents' funerals, etc. Maybe someday I'll make my way back there.
Cool. I was in the other corner, north of Philadelphia, just outside Scranton in a dinky town called Carbondale. I've been in AZ since 2013, and I have zero plans to return to Pennsylvania. :)

Still in training, I see. :D
I just LOL'd!
 
I’m a collections rep for a credit union. We do our best to help people and we don’t make commission so there’s no real incentive to be terrible to anyone. Still a bit heartbreaking sometimes to see how many people out there are struggling, in all age groups really.
 
Possibly the easiest job I'll ever have - maintenance technician at a boutique hotel. I spend a few hours a day actually fixing stuff, like lightbulbs, bathroom fixtures, TV sets, etc., and the rest of the day waiting for calls from housekeeping, guests, or other staff. I'm technically employed as "part time," so that means that I'm never on call, and never have any overtime.
 
I have a college admissions consulting business, and for the past two years, I've had part-time work at a law school, where I have assisted with student advising and graduate admissions.

I'm not sure the law school work will resume this year, but my college admission consulting might convert into full-time college counseling in selected Philadelphia public high schools for two years. My business partner and I are part of a grant application for this, and we should find out next week. Fingers crossed!
