I work for a Third Party Retirement Plan Administrator. If you have a small-medium sized business and you need a qualified retirement plan, I'm your gal. Basically am a sales and marketing assistant along with office manager. No, this is not what I want to be doing.

I freaking left my last job to leave the financial services industry and somehow landed myself right back in it.

What I would really like to do is get into some sort of sales for an international company (international business major)

JBro, are they still going to be hiring someone in your sales dept.

I'm a writer.

You too? What do you write?

I'm a writer for an e-commerce site. I write a lot of boring product descriptions and also head up the company blog and social media accounts. There's a lot of search engine optimization (SEO) involved.

It's pretty boring stuff, and I don't get paid that well (certainly not as well as most in the field). But there are few other opportunities out there right now.

I've thought about freelancing a little on the side. Maybe once I build up a sizable portfolio and have a decent client base, I could do that full-time -- but it would take a lot of work. I think my mind is more suited to writing ad copy. I think that's something I'd love to do, but it's very tough to get your foot in the door.

Also, I'm a full-time message board poster.

I've written for TV news, advertising agencies, newspapers and magazines, and I was the Editor of a magazine. Currently, I am a freelancer for a big media company, and they send me assignments to write articles for their magazines.

Like PhillyB, I have thought about writing a book, but my interests and focus have changed so much over the years, I'm not sure what my topic would be.

I've written for a couple papers as well, and currently do a little freelancing on the side.

I've also thought about writing a book or a screenplay, though I can never commit to a topic either. There are a few ideas I keep coming back to that I'm sure I'll write about one day.

I did write a goofy short film about zombies that was produced and did well enough at various festivals, but I'd like to do something a bit more serious than that.

I'm a writer too, for my economics teacher. But really, I design email systems and general infrastructure typically. I design it and let someone else do the dirty work of implementing it. :D

Sound like me. I'm a Systems Engineer. I design everything, but my company is too damn cheap to hire me some help (even if hiring someone would save money in contractor fees), so I have to implement it too.
