I'm a stay at home mom. I have some delusions about being an artist, but I have been thinking recently about becoming a pharmacist when I go back to the workforce.
I manage an IBM AS400 and Motorolla DAC6000, as well as the billing software for the local cable company.

Microbiologist here.
I develope and optimize fermentations and downstream processes for a veterinary pharmaceutical/ biological company. My work involves eucaryotes and procaryotes (anaerobic and aeorbic) as well as mammalian cells. Culture volumes range from bench-scale flasks to full-scale automated vessels up to 4,000L. Downstream processing involves antigen extraction, centrifugation and/ or cross-flow filtration.
Working for The Man sucks, but The Man is rich and buys me nice toys for the lab. My job also involves a lot of overseas travels so I have had a chance to see a lot of places that I would have otherwise never gotten to. The company lets me keep my frequent flyer miles, so this gives me a chance to travel on my own time as well.
Peace.

Yep, I do mail order. I don't have a form on the website, but you can email or call me with orders.

In order of current income:
1) I'm an actuary for a semi-major insurance company.
2) I'm co-owner of Slezak Farms, http://www.slezakfarms.com.
3) I'm co-owner of Vona Meadery, http://www.vonamead.com.
Soon 1 will be kicked to the curb, to be replaced by 2. 3 is doubtful at this point, as the gubmint decided to change it's rules after nearly a year in the licensing process.

Full-time caretaker of family, some of whom have chronic/multiple ailments. I'm responsible for most of the decisions and action taken in my home and my mother's. Guess I'm turning into the matriarch of the Israeli branch.
Just closed down my small business - handcrafted soap - except for small, private orders. Hurts to have made that decision, but the needs of my family are greater than my need to have an enterprise of my own, and thank Heaven, we can manage without it.

Hmm. Full time mom to my 13-year old daughter. Part-time web designer. And, hopefully, if everything works out the way I hope, full time Gotmead webmistress, with a side of IMA. I'll be travelling around the country visiting meaderies so I can review their wares and do write-ups on their shops.
Chairman of the IMA Research Committe and contributor of the IMA website (soon to be redesigned).
Vicky - chomping at the bit to finish the Gotmead re-write so I cand put up the shopping section

Doug, you get over Raleigh way much? I live about 30 minutes northeast of the city, and would love to get together if you're in town! I love meeting the folks from the forum when I can!

Used to be into IT, now I'm a public relations flack. 
Also, freelance/stock photographer in my free time.
Back in college trying to get a BS in Psychology. It could take a long, long time. ;D

Lab rat or to be more specific, cytogenetic tech with aspirations of a masters in molecular genetics...only if I get away from brewing. LOL
Ted - back to counting chromosomes :'(

Ted buddy,
You need to talk to our pyschologists in training friend about setting priorities... How could a sane person ever give up making mead?!?!?!?!
We need to get you back on the 12 step to recovery program.
Step 1 is to go out and buy a 5 gallon bucket of honey.
Step 2 is to post on Gotmead requesting recipe advice for that batch of something you've always wanted to make.
Step 3 is a road trip to a nearby major city that has a real LHBS place.
You get the idea...
Step 11 is to hide your resulting batches from Oskaar.
Step 12 is to invite everyone to come visit and sample what you've accomplished.
I am sure the rest of us will be very supportive in your recovery efforts...
Now isn't that really a whole lot more fun than examining genes?
With a big grin,
Pewter
