What do you do for a living?

I work third shifts at a nursing home right now, while waiting to be finished with school. (Business Management.)

I have my LPN license but am currently a stay at home mom taking care of our 3 children. My husband works in manufacturing. Cool idea to do this.

Reimbursement Analyst and fulltime law student (personnel law)

Yet another licensed practical nurse, but am in school full-time to get a Bachelor's in computer technology. Looking forward to the career change, although it'll be a couple of years before I get my new degree & qualifications. :o

Seems to be medical people thus far...

I am a Lab Technoligist and ER Tech on the night shift in a small hospital in west/central Illinois. I have my Bachelor's of Science in Medical Technology.

It's funny how we're all in the medical field, keep hearing about how much medical people make and we're all struggling together.

Hmmm...I'm in software. Good times. :rolleyes:

Proverbs 22:7 - The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
True, unless the borrower owes $6,000,000.00 then the lender is the slave unless its the Mafia. Of course in those days the better off "borrower" could send his Army to loot the Temples... and pay off his debts, invaders, hordes or whatever.

Some other folks, kick in here please! We are all a little curious...

Congrats Tin and may you be blessed. Good things do come our way. people always say "God sends the rain on the just and the unjust" as though rain was a judgement. They do this in ignorance.

rlgrace1 --- The "stay at home Mom" is an honorable proffession. My wife was a Mom at home back from 87', up until 2001. She left being a Paralegal on 1/14/87. (It was alot of fun). We struggled, but paid cash for everything in the early days days. I cherish the memmories. I hate the fact that she is working now. If you can do it, it is worth the struggle. The memmories you build at home (including digging up the septic tank because your child flushed a small teddy bear!) are the best in the world and no money can erase them. I have always told my boys that there is no amount of money that could purchase one single memmory i have of them and it is true.

After Hurricane Andrew (92) our situation improved dramatically. Our first big CC debt was in 99' and that began the downward spiral.

US Navy Corpsman veteran, a chemist and most recently a stay at home MOM! Out of all these, the MOM is the most challenging, trust me........ I plan on staying home with my little one for a couple of years and than it's back to industry and the lab bench.

God Bless the "Stay at home Mom". Not everyone is able to do it. That's understandable, but as one great man said "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the Nation". God help us when the Government rocks every cradle.

Office manager & part-time translator of small master distributor of non-invasive medical device.

Robivi-I just had to write and thank you for your support of us Stay At Home Moms. In this day and age, we tend to be looked upon poorly like we are lazy and unwilling to work. My husband and I share your same view and are grateful that we can make it work for me to stay at home right now. I thank the Lord above for giving us this opportunity, we feel blessed. Thank you again for your support and very thoughtful post. I appreciate it more than you can imagine.

To add to the medical persons in this thread.
Was a Certified Nurses Aide for 8 years (working everywhere from the critical care unit to the o.b. unit) got burned out (too much death) and went to being a secretary for a farm/John Deere. Been there 5 years and have to say it's a LOT less stressful.
Something that amazes me, is I worked in the medical profession all that time and $9.75 was my highest pay (working 12 hour night shifts with no breaks for 7 straight hours)... and I make $13 an hour as a secretary that is a much easier job... I just don't see the logic in that. People in the medical field get lousy wages around here and it's just SAD. I applaud those of you that work every day to care for the sick and/or dying.

I'm a full time Nail Technician. specializing in Your nail care needs.

When it comes to living i like to go to the beach or travel. When i need money to do thease things i own a small business hoping i can start living one day not working hand to month.

Isn't it ironic that the reason most non-medical employees need BK is the outragous bills we face after visiting you.

These are Nurses and people who serve. Nurses are the front line soldiers. You pay your Soldiers, I don't them to worry about anyone but me. But of course that isn't the real world.

My Daddy always said (my dad really did always say this), stay away from rich doctors and poor lawyers.

The truth was that his doctors were all affiliated with Vanderbilt University and the like in Nashville, and i recall riding with one attorney he hired that drove a beat up old Buick, so even he did not heed his own advice!

Hey :-) I work at a law firm, monitoring ch13 bankruptcy payments

Haven't been on here for a year since I filed Bankrupty last year so probably no one recognize me, but for a living I work at my main job at a printing company, help do cleaning on 9 printing presses. Also I got my own business on the side that I just started, I design websites for small businesses, right now am helping 5 small businesses, I help a cabin renatal place in northern wisconsin, a restaurant, popcorn store, boat company, and also a car dealership, am pretty much a "computer techi"

I work for the Internal Revenue Service and my greatest relief was when my attorney told me that my employer does not need to be notified of my Chapter 13 since they are not a creditor!

Retired from management 25 years, now work for local county water district (10 years). Will retire from that too hopefully in another 5 years, if I can get my life straightened back out again.

I was a licensed practical nurse and was the charge nurse at a nursing home for three years. I hated almost every minute of it and decided to stay-at-home when I became pregnant. I then went back to school for medical transcription which is what I have done for the past five years.

hey all,
new to the site, just found it approx 1 month ago, love it!! really has helped ease some tensions for me. as for the profession, I'm a Registered nurse with 20 yrs of experience, all in the Emergency Department. so all of those whom think we make alot of money, I'm here to tell you different. I love my job, its the greatest but not with the greatest pay. you all take care, thanks for all the info. :o

magazine publisher

I am a supervisor at a manufacturing plant. I was a minister for 2 1/2 years but had to give that up because of a job transfer to another state. Being a minister is much more stressful than being a supervisor, but the job satisfaction is not as fulfilling in supervision, (although I do like this job).

I am a Customer Service Representative for an electric cooperative, love it.

Desktop Support (Computer Support).

I had a great paying job two years ago. That got cut and I was working for half that pay afterwards. To all those of you who think IT still pays good, beware - times have changed.

Doctor of Chiropractic

Have had my own office for 9 of the last 11 years.
Chiropractic is the step child of health care, if I got payed what I actually billed out for I would not be here. However, that is not the way Insurance works. I am still learning that part of the business. After 6 years I could not justify the stress with the financial return sooo. I Tried a different field, went into a family business (inlaws) enjoyed it for a while, then it got to be a little scary after 9\11. So started up my own practice again and have struggled to stay afloat. At least I am doing what I love to do now, even though it is a finanacial struggle again. I think if I can make it through bk (have not filed yet) in about 3 to 5 years I will have my life back.

I have a very tiny leathercraft business that keeps me alive and fed, and the bills paid, but am struggling. I also caretake, so my home base is covered.

Reimbursement Analyst and unfortunately NOT a "stay-at-home" mom to 3 GREAT and WONDERFUL kids! My hats are off to all the stay-at-home moms but I also give MANY KUDOS to all the working moms out there who have to struggle with 40+ hours a week on the job only to work even harder when we get home and then feel nothing but guilt when every other mom you meet these days is able to stay home. What a wonderful privilege ... where was I when the sign-up list went around??? ;)

I'm a stay-at-home mom for another year and a half. I getting my Master's in Education to teach Middle School. My son is 9 and my daughter is 5 and she will be in 1st grade when I start teaching, then I will have most of the same breaks and holidays they will. My husband just started in the Real Estate business after getting laid-off.

I am a health physicist. Anyone know what that is?

:blink: :blink:

"health physicist"???? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Do you deal with proteins, herbs, etc in food and stuff?? Or do you analyize (can't spell) and make new meds??

Good question - what do you do????? lol

Minny :blush2:

Health Physicist is a term that came out of making of the atomic bomb. They were the medical doctors that dealt with the biological aspects of radiation and the safe use of radiation.

Today, most health physicists are not medical doctors. They just have specialized training in nuclear physics. My degree is actually in health physics.

Right now I work at a nuclear power plant responsible for radiation protection. I will soon be working for the Department of Energy.

I earn money online, I bought a home and car from the income i made.
Everyone can do it as i.

My story here : www.TheStudioTraffic.net

You bought a house and car from that? Not being facetious, then why are you in a BK Forum, sounds like an ad to me! Oh well, to each his own...

X out the routing and account numbers and post a pic of one of your checks, the proof is in the puddin'!

:blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ROBIVI3...........

I WANT TO SEE "THAT CHECK" TOO!!!!

He's on the wrong forum, huh..........should be in
"HOWTOMAKEMONEY.COM", LOL

DID HE CLAIM BK TOO?????? IF SO MUCH MONEY, WHY WOULD HE NEED TOO????

Minny :D

I work as an Order / Audit Representative., Sr. for a Telecomm Company. (I punch keys into a computer for a job that will be obsolete in a year...)... Pushing towards system integration!!! GREAT!!!

(My REAL career if I could get back in it is the Tourism industry, Hotels / resorts / ETC)

My wife is a part time Server at a restaurant

I convince people to buy stuff they don't need or as we say it in our field "stuff they didn't know they needed" - in other words, advertising. I deal in TV, Radio, magazines, outdoor and web. Not great paying, but fun work!

I am a web designer at a college. And a mom who wishes she could stay home with her child. I am the primary source of income for my family, as well as the source of health insurance, so I go to work.

hey robivi3 and everyone--I am a proud stay at home mom of three kids, ages 11,14, and 16. For you moms out there who go back to work when the kids get older ... think again. This is when they really need you. My 16 year old comes home from school everday and talks to me, tells me about his day, tells me everything. My 14 year old, well, God only knows what he would be doing if I didn't get home till 6 o clock. He's a loveable, but mischevious little boy. What I'm trying to say is, these are the times when they really need guidance. They need someone to be home waiting for them.

That is what I do.

I'm not a stay at home mom, I'm jealous.:cry: I work for a hospital and I'm a Resource Accounting Analyst. I'm in school for nursing and information technology. I work in the IT department.

I am an office manager at a software company, and my husband is a CDL driver currently out on workman's comp. We have one child together, a 3 year old.

I am an accounts payable clerk for a property management company. The company manages apartment communities in GA, FL, AL, TN, NC, SC for various owners, and I process all the invoices (vendors, utilities, etc.) for payment. Well, not all of them, I handle 11 properties right now, though I'm due to get more next week. (Who would someday like to finish an accounting degree.) I work 8:30-5:30.

My husband works as a night stocker at a grocery store, and is expected to be promoted to an assistant-assistant manager role in a few weeks. The raise is almost nothing ($.40/hr) but there is a good opportunity for advancement. It isn't too far fetched to expect him to be making an extra $1-2/hr within a year. It isn't too glamorous, but the hours (10 pm-6am) mean no child care expenses...

He also works part time, running customer service calls for the area newspaper. (He takes out papers to the customers who call in to say they didn't get one.) Its lots of aggrivation, but our 3 year old daughter can ride with him, and the 5 & 7 year old can also when they're out of school.

I can't believe I haven't responded to this thread!

I am QA staff at an assembly plant of a major TV maker. Before you think "Oh, you get great deals there" let me assure you, I DON'T! :aggress:

I (And so are you) MUCH better off buying at the local retail shop, they have a better warranty (Our reworked models only have 90 days) and the return policy is far better (None as we're given free repairs, but you have to wait 1-4 months for parts) :cry:

A trick for you to remember (This goes for ANY TV maker) is if you get a set which has more then one set of staples in the box, you got a "Tested unit" which went through the "Wringer" and if it's in your hands, you have a "Primo set" as it's shown it's toughness and I'd have NO worries it'll ever die or when it does, you'll be old and gray. :yahoo:

:clapping: I am a stay at home mom to two boys 5 and 2 1/2 years old. My husband is a very under paid Sheriff Deputy.
Can you believe that our income is only $250.00 to much for us to qualify for Income Restricted housing! Pretty sad when the law enforcement communtiy is forced to live in poverty! A Deputy should be able to support his family as a one income family. BUT only the Sheriff and his buddies are getting fat and wealthy dirty little theivs hiding behind a badge :aggress:

I teach at a small university, where I'm paid poorly. So last year I decided to get into real estate to see if it would help. It has, but not enough; the first year expenses did me in.
But what really did it was my husband's poor health and the medical bills we couldn't pay. The hospital charges that our terrible insurance didn't pay, along with the high copays on prescription drugs have bankrupted us.
But, next year, with what I am starting to do in real estate, I expect everything to improve dramatically.

:yes2:

I am a RN and Licensed Professional Counselor, although I certainly do not counsel clients on financial matters :> After filing bk and before coming to these boards, I felt unworthy to advise anyone on anything. I am feeling stronger now. In fact, I feel so much more knowledgeable than I did before. I would feel guilty and helpless before if a client talked about financial issues (and believe me most of them do), now I just do my best to point them in the right direction and put that particular problem in the hands of a different type of professional.

I am a Family Service Worker for the Head Start program. Only PT right now till something else comes along. Bad time for Social Service Workers, to many budget cuts. Those are the first things to get chopped.

Almost Homeless,

Yep, I was a victim of all the cuts when Reagan took office. All unecessary programs were cut and disolved......mine job was one of them....
Had to seek more stable employment that was not determined by political outcome....

10 years and counting on present job,


Minny

Mine was due to President Clinton. Which, some of the cuts were good, and some weren't. Oh well, maybe someday, they will need me again...lol

4th grade teacher...I'm broke AND crazy :)

Mechanical Engineer.....

Let me think how to answer that - an unpaid police officer (reserve) teach related classes at local college as needed, and fulltime state employee where I thought I would always have job security but I am beginning to realize if there is such a thing. I also do some volunteering when I can.

~I am a stay at home mom (two boys 5yrs and 10yrs).
~My hubby works for one of the local hospitals. (and no He's not a doctor...LOL)
~I do plan to go to work next year. I wanted to get something part time now, but I can't cause we are waiting for 341 and discharge.

I'm in software sales. Funny even with the commissions am still broke. Oh, yeah . . . I belong to a family of doctors and nurses, too--both sides!

That's cool!!!!!!!!:tongue:

...hehe....my son is grown and married now and lives a few hours away...my kids are the animals I have rescued, 4 cats and a Borzoi...

I am Disabled now...in the past I was in sales a lot...and, before that, I helped start the very first Battered Women's shelter in our good ol' USA...

Right now I am a Master Herbalist student (at home)...and, writing a book. I hope to make enough $$ at some future time in order to get off Disability.

Wouldn't that be wonderful? :yes2:

I am a customer service manager at a global company. I also am a mom to a 17 year old son as well as a set of 15 year old triplet boys. Add on to that a house and a hubby and I've got a gazillion jobs! :)

Sporting goods Store Manager.

:aggress: I work at a moving & storage company in one of the fastest growing cities in the US......was in sales but had to go into office postion 3 years ago. Big cut in salary!!:(

I'm a secretary currently going to school to receive my accounting degree.

I'm a stay-at-home-mom to a beautiful 14 month old son. My husband works as "jack of all trades" at a small company his cousin owns. There are only seven people that work there!!! Basically my husband does a lot of everything there.
We chose for me to stay at home, even if it meant penny pinching. . .a lot!
I also babysit a little 8 year old girl after school during the week and also full time in the summer.
I have a lot of respect for the women who have full time jobs while being mothers!! I don't know how you do it!

im a fashion model. dont hate me cuz im a beautiful. some of you just didnt make out as well as other in the looks department. :D

I am a compliance auditor for a large mortgage company.

Basically I review docs and calculations to make sure we are in compliance with government regulations. If we aren't I pull the chain on the closing. So, I take away a lot of commission from loan officers and realtors...

They call mad, I argue for about an hour over all kinds of different laws, and then tell them sorry it is against the law, you can't close it unless you change this or that...

I am corporate, so... what I say goes... :)

Funny thing happend today, I was listening to a conference call that was happening between branches, and a person actually was talking about corporate, and called us corporate idiots... apparently they weren't informed that we were all asked to listen in... nothing like calling the Vice President of Compliance an idiot, and then all of us auditors too!!! We will be looking VERY close at her loans from now on... LOL!

I'm currently a Floral Designer!!! Used to be a hairdresser....Oops...... I guess I still am just don't do it anymore!

I have been a registered nurse for 3.5 years, before that I was an LPN, have been a nurse for 10 years in August. We are not well paid in my small Arkansas community, but our problems ultimately started because DH doesn't think he should go without if someone will give him the credit to get it. Before I even knew he had a cc, he was almost 7000 in debt, and the snowball just kept getting bigger.
Yes, I could go somewhere bigger and make more $$, but the cost of living would be higher, and my kids would have to change schools.

Vicky

I'm a magazine publisher and stay-at-home-mom. DH owns a lawncare biz, and fence staining biz. Plus a couple of other endeavors that are turning into money pits.

Engineer/Firefighter here...

Thermoplastics engineer and wife is a receptionist.

I am a Medical Billing clerk in the Orthotics and Prosthetics field...YES we are also in the medical field, don;t let anyone kid you, owning your own business is NOT all it's cracked up to be. We have been in business 17 years and due to Medical changes etc, business is very tough and can be cut throat. How I wish I was working for someone and getting a paycheckj..as it is now I am billing clerk and just myself and husband, can't afford salary for me.

I have been a nurse for 8 years and my husband has been in sales (not financial) for 9 years with the same company. Rural Nebraska doesn't pay well in nursing.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and I also teach psychology as an adjunct instructor at a local college. Anybody who just needs to vent can PM me. "Therapy ain't cheap, but friends are free!":D

jane taylor,

YOU stick around with us................... :yes2:

Believe me, many of us can us some counseling during the bankruptcy process..... :cry:

Insanity tries to "claim" us............ :blink:

We all can use some "help" from a friend now and then.....:(

We all try to support each other thru this mess and survive it.... :yahoo:

:D :D

I work in the Care Management department for a Health Insurance Company and my husband is a limited energy electrician.

I am soon to be going back to college. I have a Bachelor in business and have had fabulous jobs. Times have changed, though. I cannot make the $$ I used to make. I am going to study nursing. I figure its a good career choice as they cannot outsource our bodies! I like the fact that I can pick up and find a job in any (for the most part) of the country. My husband was in computers and got screwed at Lucent Technologies. They relocated him for a huge promotion. I quit my corporate job. Within 6 months his division was gone. This was pre enron, ect when Lucent was doing supposedly well.

I do debt collections. I work for a major car company and my goal is to keep people from having repo's, but in the long run I'm hoping that I can get back into law enforcement.

Hey I'm Debbie I work as an LPN too seeing all of us here make me wonder if we should have spent all that money on school? We're filing and go to court on May 16. Nervous scared but debt is eating us alive. When you have to choose between food and the bills that's time to do something! Glad to meet you!:)

Hi I'm Deb, new to the game of Drowning in debt 101!haha I worry every day about how to either pay bills or feed the kids, stay awake at night. any suggestions to help me through thsi bankruptcy will be appreciated:(

I am an insurance adjuster. Went to college to become a veterinarian and chemistry did me in! Have been handling personal and commercial insurance claims for 20 years plus. Make decent pay. My ex was in sales and made very good money. I have gone through downsizing and lack of jobs. My boyfriend was layed off from UsAirways as an airline mechanic and has had a difficult time finding a new path. He has tried various "hats" and so has not had any actual money coming in for about 3 years.
Unfortunately with the downsizing and unavailability of jobs at one time, going through a divorce, etc.....drowning in bills that I cannot pay.
Looks like I'll be able to go CH 7--no home and payed for 1998 VW are basically my only "assets". My attorney gave the heads up after checking everything on the form they use. Thank god! Actually my boyfriend not having a job right now helped a lot as well for now.
Cannot wait for the process to be over....having car issues and doing the-----do I pay rent? We must eat.... The car is not running yet....will this part fix it? Keep getting rides/borrowing wonderful friends car to get around.....thank god for such true and wonderfuls angels on earth...... Putting off paying utilities until absolutely have to so we can get the car going again.
My immediate family---sister and parents----are not in much better shape than me so we really cannot help each other other than emotional support.
But all in all I try to focus on what I do have and keep a positive mindset and as 'ole Joe Dirt says...."Keep on Trucking"!

If so many people are filing BK, can't find jobs paying anything, why did George W say yesterday that the economy is in the best shape ever. I, for the life of me, cannot figure out where.

I heard the economic report yesterday on the noon news, that 210,000 jobs were added nationwide to the economy last month.

I'm thinking, for the most part, that's probably 210,000 new minumum wage jobs.

Sinking, it is all the new Walmarts, Targets and Kmarts opening. I heard the same thing.

On another board that I participate in we are "discussing" how Americans are loosing all of their rights. It is not a BK board, but rather people talking about employment, ect. Most of the people (to my knowledge) have not filed BK but are complaining about employers doing credit checks. They are shocked that employers want to know all their personal business. I, on the other hand, am not.

Have you ever heard of the parable of the frog. It is about a frog that sits in hot water. The water keeps getting hotter, but the frog does not notice. Then one day, the heat gets too hot, and the frog just dies. I am starting to believe that is where we as Americans are. The heat keeps getting turned up on us. Everyone wants to know everything about us. We loose rights all the time.....but nobody notices.....or if they do they do not care because "it does not personally affect them". Then one day, the table turns, and all of a sudden they are affected......but it is too late.....and nothing can be done. Is that where we are headed as a country???????

We have a relative that went on a trek thru Europe last summer. One of those things that kids in college do. Ride the trains. Stay in hostiles. See the world on a dime kind of trip.

Everyone in the family that communicated with him, either via email, or telephone, is now on the Fed Gov't's Terrorist Watch List.

RN here...

I actually work at several different jobs that vary quite a bit... construction/remodeling, landscaping/lawncare, hauling/moving services, and janitorial services.

Construction/remodeling jobs are falling off sharply right now, probably a sign that the economy is begining to feel the pinch from the housing bubble bursting. But the rest of them are still going strong for now.

They're all temp jobs, which are great for me because they give me huge amounts of time off to go on vacations to see relatives up in Oregon and Washington.

Funny you should say that! You would think the medical field would help their own....they don't. That is a major reason I am in BK also...medical bills! So Medical employees (with insurance, which is REALLY sad) also face those outrageous bills! I am an RN by the way~S&T:cry:

The stay at home moms of the special needs children, my daughter seems depressed most of the time. In the 7yrs that the children have been on this earth, I would swear that at least 6yrs of it she has been depressed. Most of this is due to the fact that she does not have a thick enough skin when dealing with the world and how they look at special needs children. She feels that she should react in an angry manner whenever there are stares or comments about the special needs children in public. I have tried everything I can think of to get her to understand that you can not get mad at ignorance. There are many who know nothing about special needs(some of them work right in the police department with me and I am the grandmother) but no matter what I say, she is still upset all the time that people will not accept her special needs children without stares and comments.

You have to put peolpe in their place nicely sometimes but that is only after explaining it and they are still ignorant. But I have just learned being depressed only hurts my kids more. The kids dont understand sarcasim or think that they are any different so if it dont bother the kids I cant let them see it bothers me.:)

there are some tee shirts that say funnythings about autisum like I am autistic and I bite. I am autistic what is your excuse they are cute.:)

Currently, I am an Executive Assistant to the Senior Credit Officer in the Commercial Division of a bank. I have been in the financial field for over 30 years.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Developing that "thick skin" isn't always easy. Has your daughter seen a therapist? Or would she be willing too? It may help her to talk with someone about her feelings and to help develop some ways to cope with having children with special needs. Depending on your grandkids age/s she may even be able to get some free counseling through the Birth to Three (or Early Intervention) program.

I can't say I will ever get used to the stares or comments but I try not to let it get to me. My oldest is severely autistic so it's usually obvious to people that "something" is going on. Most people have been understanding.

Glad to know that there is another law enforcement person on this forum. At first I felt like and odd ball. I guess people do not realize that law enforcement people working everyday like all the rest have credit difficulties too.

I work nights as a certified nursing assistant at a hospital. I, too, have a special needs child.

I work in the aerospace/defense field.

I think this is the right spot to introduce myself. I am a mother of 4 kids. My 13 year old is a special needs child so my husband and I decided that it is best for me to be a stay at home mom. I was a paramedic for 9 years but had to leave the job do to a back injury. We live on a very tight budget. We figure that as long as we have food on the table, clothes on our backs and a roof over our heads that is all we need. We had to file bankruptcy in 2000. Got our priorities wrong and had to have the newest vehicles and the fancy things in life. As we found out that will lead you to the poor house quickly. We had alot of fun laying down the plastic til it got to a point that we couldn't any longer pay the payments and were so far in over our heads there was no daylight to see anymore. Since our discharge we have been making it without the credit cards. Trust me it is rough at times, but you learn how to survive.

From what I have seen so far the site is awesome and I look forward to helping others.

My husband is housekeeping supervisor for our mall and he works long and hard hours. It has really taught my children not to mess up the food court when they eat because someone has to clean it up. I am a licensed hairstylist not working right now. Have to find a job doing something else now.

It's nice to get to know all of you.
I work in the financial industry. I am married with two daughters, age 6 and 11. When I was fourteen I lost 95% of my vision, which has really been a great blessing in my life.
I guess being blind I felt like I had something to prove to the world, so I was living way beyond my means. Thankfully I came to my senses a few years ago. I was fortunate enough to escape BK, and I am still on the debt elimination journey.
I look forward to reading more of your post.

It's nice to get to know all of you.


Hi gotguts:) Nice to meet you too.

social worker in the foster care system.

I work in research administration for a hospital and I adjunct 1 class a semester and a local college.

My husband is a customer service respresentative to brokers at a large insurance agency.

Hi, My Job title is Multi-Office Team Leader,for an income tax buisness. I am also a wife and very proud parent of two children a son whose 15 and a daughter whose 13. My husband is a frame builder in the furniture buisness.

I was an assistant for the Felony Prosecuting Attorney at the State Attorney's Office in Florida (we moved there and immediately found out we were pregnant) but now I stay home with my girls. One is 4 and in preschool 2 hrs/day and the baby is 10 months old now. My husband is a press operator and we live back in MI w/ my father now. Shows just how quickly things can go downhill when something unexpected pops up. I guess mine was a blessing though. I still miss my job terribly.

Im a EMT. I worked in a hospital but the money was so bad that I now clean houses instead.

My husband is retired military and works as a estimator for a shipyard.

IT Auditor. I work for the biggest IT outsourcer in the world with 120k plus employees. I hear layoffs are on the way, perfect time for a chapter 7...

This is amazing, I just went through this entire thread and it seems most BKers are either a) working in medical field (esp. nurses) or b) stay-at-home mamas. Not too far are those who work in business/law office (& some in the IT field). :dry:

*I was surprised to see some teachers/professors here, I always thought they made good money with summers off. My father worked in education for a few decades and said teachings a great job man!



Anyways, I have decided to not have children and to not work in the medical field. I am artist but because of psychiatric problems I had trouble obsessing, organizing, and concentrating, amongst other things, but orthomolecular psychiatry is going to change that...right?!!!!. :D

I AM FUTURE LOTTERY JACKPOT DECA-MILIONAIRE! :yahoo:
*If for some odd reason that was postponed, which would be inconceivable, future office worker and wife to a decent man. :angel:

I'll chime in here to keep the ball rolling-
As of last Saturday I was a process automation electrician, today an unemployed vagabond.

Hi everyone, I don't post much but ...

I used to be a stay at home mom & my husband was a Regional Manager for Fleetwood Homes & made very good money until about 7 years ago he became disabled & I know work for the District Attorney's Office (Child Support Division) full time during the day & Im a manager at night at a small drive in.

Hubby is a welder and I am disabled with fibromyalgia . I bring in a small amount monthly merchandising. Don't feel bad if you don't know what that means, I didn't at first :D I mostly work around Christmas with occassional jobs during the year. Most of what I do is arranging Dearfoam slippers at local department stores and making sure the displays are kept stocked and neatly arranged. I also do audits, mostly compliance of franchise locations for various brand name companies to ensure the franchise is following the company standards.

I'm trying to find more companies to get small jobs with so I have something regular every month. In Dec, I get to visit a bunch of stores to put new stickers on gum packs :) Hubby can't believe I get paid to do stuff like that.

In this day and age, we tend to be looked upon poorly like we are lazy and unwilling to work.

I don't look at you as lazy or unwilling to work. I'm just jealous I can't be a stay at home dad! My wife wants desperately to be stay at home. We just can't afford it. I would like to stay at home myself, but we can't afford that either.

I'm a sales associate for Home Depot (Plumbing Dept.) I'm including them in my BK. :tongue:

Retired in 1999 as a Senior Administrative Assistant for the City of Austin and now work part-time for a game publishing company. Filing BK was a difficult decision to have to make, but now that I'm past the halfway mark, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This forum has been tremendous and I only wish I had found it earlier!!!

I worked for a major insurance company for over 15 years and lost my job when they merged and consolidated operations with another company. That was one of the main reasons for my bankruptcy, since I had a hard time finding a job after that and when I did find a job it paid way less than I used to make.

I now work for my county government and although I don't make much money (much less than I did in the private sector) I have good benefits including good health insurance. I'm a middle manager. It is very stressful some times but I am very grateful for the job.

I work 3rd shift in the inventory department at Kohl's e-commerce. My wonderful hubby drives a truck locally.

Long time paralegal here but our firm does not handle bankrupty; but the firm next door does! :-)

Well for that 3 years take care of my ex and her new husband, @%&** :cry:, LOL,

I've been staying with a friend for food & housing but I have a big financial mess to deal with when I return to Florida in April and will probably file chapter 7.

I'm so glad I found this forum. I feel like my debt has been running my life but I'm not so nervous about it now.

High School Special Education Teacher and make 10K less than the regular education teachers in my district :(

Isn't this an anomaly? I seem to remember that when I was in HS, Special Education teachers got paid more than regular teachers, because they needed additional accreditation. Much like a nurse accredited in Neonatology gets paid quite a bit more than one with just a regular RN degree.

Speech-language pathologist

well ok ill tell you what ive been doing for a living hopefully you guys will still be my friend. i fell into a really good paying collections job at a young age, making great money in commission, i promoted quickly to collection manager and life was great, i had money to go out to expensive clubs and weekend getaways every weekend. been on many wonderful out of country vacations....it was softcore collections tho, collections on people who fell behind on their timeshare payments. we didnt report to the CBR's, all we could really do is call them and talk them into paying. well i left that job due to harrassment from the other manager. went to another company doing collections for several lines of business including state taxes, and criminal fines, dealing with people who have been in prision things like that, now that was hardcore collections. it was low paying but within 6 months i was promoted again to collections supervisor and it was a relief, i was making good money again and slowly pulling myself out of the debt i created. well that company went belly up and now im back to bottom of the rung customer service 10/hr job. they keep promising me supervisor positions will be opening soon.....kinda ironic huh...a collector filing for bankruptcy. i never thought it would come to this but it did. and i wasnt a mean collector, i treated everyone with respect but it was my job to call and collect the money. i dont want to be a collector anymore. after all this is over im going back to school to be a surgical technologist. i want to actually do a job that makes me feel good about myself. when im at work and someone starts telling me about all their problems in my head im thinking dont i know it!
