than making money from your blogs.

Any of you have 9-5 jobs, own a business? As most of you know, I have been modeling, acting, producing and I also owned a Modeling agency for 6 years which I just put to rest. I really love working.

Let's hear your story if you don't mind sharing.

    I'm a web-designer I own my own business and I am in the process of designing some custom shirts. What happened to your modeling agency?
    1. AmyWeber
      Long story, I'll have to write about it someday on my blog.

      Web Designing sounds like fun business. Coming from a pro designer, is my blog on the right track?

    I've changed so many hats it would be a long list but here is a brief summary. Veterinarian doctor, computer engineer, manager for a variety of companies, executive team at a mobile media and advertisement start up, part time model and a mother of two.

      Sounds like you spent most of your time in school, I always thought I was going to be a Veterinarian doctor. I love animals.

    hand model, mule skinner, train conductor, shark hunter, astronaut, pornstar and now I work HAZMAT in Baghdad!--ok,that one i'm not making up
    1. ThriftShopRomantic
      Wouldn't that be "hoof modeling"? Thus making the act of mule skinning all the more impressive...

    When I dropped out of the corporate world I was a vice president in investment banking.

    I finally figured out it's not about the money and am now living my dream as full time fine art photographer. I'm planning on dropping dead with a camera in my hand and a smile on my face.

    Work is life!

      Some people live to work, when we should really be working to live. Wise choice. Nice website.

    I have a 9 - 5 web design gig in Chicago as well as my freelance blogs / websites I manage. I'm trying to make my site very popular so I can work from home some day. I am thinking about going back to school for my masters but I don't know in what yet. I have a degree in Technical Management but want to go into something totally different.

    I am a highly paid and sought after Systems Janitor cleaning up the messes left behind by software experts who make exponentially more money than I do. I wish to break out of this routine and contribute to a higher digital entertainment standard...but, so far, I still have to earn a living.

    If Actress Amy is interested in being in the movie version of my novel, let me know.

    I used to be a full time licensed esthetician and massage therapist working in high end spas and I will probably go back to it when my children have moved out.

    After a career as a writer, and in the publishing business, I've been retired longer than anybody else I know, since 1976. Am bored to tears. That's what brought me into blogging. Gotta do something to keep oxygen pumping to my brain.
