I work at a company that does market research and support for government contractors...I manage about 20 of the larger accounts

I used to be a management consultant. Now I own and run my own beauty salon and I love it. How's that for a career change?

tigertrixie · Jun 10th, 2008, 07:18 PM

All my MJ's are practically brand new. I carry them to work, change into a uniform and store the bag away in my locker for 10 hours a day.....what an injustice to the beautiful bags!

i am in my final year of mechanical engineering, actually meant to be studying right now for my second last lot of exams ever but looking at the tpf is so much more fun! i am really really really scared about going into full time work next year and really don't want to yet, i want to stay a student, and travel the world etc etc soo to fund any bag purchases and also going out on the weekends i have 3 part time jobs at the moment, 2 at different engineering consultancies and 1 at a video shop

Someday when I grow up I'm going to be a patent litigator. Well, I guess I'll probably be one whether I'm grown up or not

. I'm in law school now.

fettfleck · Jun 11th, 2008, 06:30 PM

I am a medical doctor, specializing in radiology at an university hospital. Finished med school 2.5 years ago.

Hey matchka, what kind of a dancer was you? I did ballet training in the past.

I have been a legal secretary for 20 years now, but last fall I took a job in the Document Center at a mid-size lawfirm in Chgo (more Word Processing than secretarial) -- I work the night/Sat shift (3 nites/week and Saturday days).

My DH is a retired firefighter (after 30 yrs on the job!) and we've been married for nearly 22 yrs (on June 29th!). We have a 15 yr old son and a 20 yr old daughter. Everyone still lives at home, along with my gorgeous 19 month old granddaughter!!

I'm a proud mommy of two gorgeous kids, a preschooler and a toddler.
In my spare time, I work as a physician in an academic medical center and run a research lab.

MollieGrace · Jun 11th, 2008, 08:43 PM

I'm a DC lawyer and proud mother of two (big)

boys.

I<3MJ · Jun 11th, 2008, 08:49 PM

I'm the proud mommy of a 3 1/2 year old and a 15-month old, both little boys. I have a degree in interior design, but you'd never know it by looking at my house....I'd rather spend my money on bags!

cindy05 · Jun 12th, 2008, 06:12 AM

I am a lawyer in NYC. About to change jobs so I can buy even more MJs without guilt. lol.

MittenedThings · Jun 12th, 2008, 02:31 PM

full time undergrad for another month, most likely followed by a slow slow death, or i mean....the pleasant hell that is "unemployed but desperately looking for a job" :-P

I'm sure you'll be fine. You'll be so super motivated and determined to get a job so that you can finance your MJs right?

Great thread!

Very different backgrounds here, that is so cool.
If only the whole world could see that even though everyone's different, we still have one thing in common: Passion. For whatever it is (in our case, one passion is clearly bags!)

Oh and I'm a Graphic Designer, by the way. It's fun, and good money, but nothing I want to do all my life.

I work at the Express (clothing store) home office in planning and allocation.
