    hey..
    new girl here :D
    I just came off a 10 year stint in Tech support - through the many flavors that once were UUNet. Right now I do some general support for my brother's environmental driveway company while i primarily make jewelry. I specialize in steampunk jewelry and cyberpunk designs - kind of hardware reborn and remade. Can you tell I'm a Science Fiction addict ? :D

    the hobby was the steampunk jewelry - but now that is what I do full time. I also turn old EPROMs into jewelry - those and vacuum tubes - and of course old machines and watches and pocketwatches etc. I like to take apart old things. It has moved from being a hobby into being a semi-full time job.

    Nice to meet you all!

    I'm an accountant, but haven't worked doing that for years. Right now I'm just a freelance writer (kind of) I complete all sorts of writing micro jobs in order to make ends meet at the end of every month. I used to have a job as a freelance writer, but got fired last May. I get kinda sad when I think about that, because back then I earned well and didn't have to force my eyes as much as I do now :(

    Hi
    Hi! Thanks for posting! I wanted to share a couple of thoughts to see if they might help!
    1. If you have an active accounting degree and still have interest in it, there may be some online or work-at-home options for you as an accountant or doing accounting-like duties
    2. As far as writing, have you thought writing your own articles and selling them through an online site for upfront or residual pay? If you have an expertise in accounting, you probably could open up another income stream.

    Web developer here. I'm looking to get into server administration, so I tend to gravitate towards maintenance type or server tasks rather than working on webpages. I play minecraft, so naturally I have a minecraft server at home. I think I'm a control freak, the way I manage my network though. Redundant security, hurrah!

    My hobbies pretty much make up my career/job. I am a musician and I therefore teach, write, produce music, etc. I am also a writer so I do a lot of typing and online publishing. I also do some freelance work, both musically and in writing and I have good knowledge of technology therefore I do it online mostly! I basically compiled my skills - computers, keyboard skills, music, English language and mind, science and conspiracy.

    My real dream was becoming a doctor, but I decided to become an accountant because it sounded easier. In the next years if things go well with me neurological issue I might go back to med school (did 6 months, but left for accountancy). I can only dream guys! My hobbies are now mostly watching TV and games :) But sadly there is rarely any time for that.

    If you are a academically predisposed then go for the highest achievement
    you can do, you will always regret it.

    Well done going for some medical training though.

    Impressed !!!!

    @something back Thank you :) I would like to go back and make my dream come true, but in the end my own health will tell. I know I might not be able to do what I did before, like running like I did, for example, but going back to school? I might be able to do that :) But only time will tell ;) I would like to specialize on internal medicine.
