ER tech and paramedic... and with a little luck, firefighter (provided I get past the academy at the end of the year). Fire & EMS is still separate down here, so I won't be a FF/paramedic unless HFD starts manning the buses...

Freight Relocation Specialist.....aka Class A Truck Driver
My current job has definitely been a learning experience. Pulling loads for multiple companies varying from the local utility company (PG&E) to some fairly big oversize loads for heavy equipment rental companies and excavating companies. The one thing about PG&E is they work ANYWHERE. Nothing like trying to wiggle a 60' truck/trailer combo down through a campground and out the backside to find out that you have to go another mile @ approx. 2 mph down a crooked horse trail to unload at their temp. helipad. Cuz all equip and workers had to be flown to the job site.
With some luck, hopefully I will be able to make the jump out of trucking. Got an eye on a training program, but won't really know anything until Tuesday (1/16/11) and even then I may only get a minimal amount of info. New gig would include insurance and benefits which are absent at current job.

Loan Adjustor at Wells Fargo. Graduated college in 2007 with my teaching degree but can't find a teaching/coaching job that interests me. Been working at Wells Fargo since 2008 after a long-term substitute teacher position ended. I need my summers off! Ha.

i am a student and i work at a bicycle store. There i am referred to as the keeper of the knowledge (i have no formal position). I do sales, receiving, IT work (ya i got 3 screens in my office 
), schedule, pretty much everything that keeps things running smooth, no one there can even come up with what they would call my position!. I love the ability to make my own schedule and work whenever i want and however much i want.
