    Im lucky enough to be a pole/gogo dancer! Getting paid to pole and keep your clothes on is awesome. Im on a working holiday so i dont work any other jobs. Not sure how ill ever go back home to being a personal secretary.

    I'm a dog Groomer!! Went to school to be a chemist and found a job that I actually love and pays well. Plus I never work a 40hr week anymore so I have more time to pole!

    I’m a veterinary technician. Most of my time is spent being a mom and a wife though. We are a family that poles and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Trying to raise our daughter to be strong and healthy so she gets to experience all sorts of activities. She’s six and has no fear, so obviously she’s more advanced on the pole than me!

    I'm a retired nurse, "jack of all trades", wife, mother of a 30 and 27 year old, pole studio owner/instructor/entrepreneur!  Retired from nursing to pursue my love of pole.  I've always loved helping other, but as I got into my 50's, I wanted to help people stay healthy and improve their quality of life, (which in turn improves mine!) versus watching people die.  I love bringing women together, not only teaching them pole, but teaching them how to love their fellow women!  I can't change the world, but I can help women see things differently. So far women who otherwise would not give the time of day to someone solely on appearance, have changed how they see others….it also helps that when a woman walks through my doors, I have a strict policy…."Check your claws at the door!!"  I do not tolerate catty behavior, and have banned a few women that felt the need to disrespect another.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do!!!!!

    I am an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) here in NC…however, I had crazy 24/7 sickness while preggo last year, so I quit.  I am still licensed, but am a stay at home mommy to my 8 month old daughter.  I'm also a full-time student, hoping to get my RN license within the next 1.5 years!

    @race911 – I would LOVE to work on a horse farm!  I used to ride on my college's equestrian team.

    There's soooo many wonderful professionals here! I think I've been occupied reading about how interesting everyone's job is and what they do. I'm a National Guardsman married to an active duty soldier and a mom of 3 (2+1step). My job is 68J, or medical supply specialist. I count bandaids lol.I've been poling on and off since Feb 2009 and I've been enlisted 5 years.  My goal is to become a pharmacist (PharmD) but I get sidetracked every time we get stationed elsewhere. I would like to become a pole instructor part time and open up a studio one day. Ahhh the dreams! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

    00Diva, I thought I was the only dentist here! Well I’m a third year student anyway, haha. To my last post I can add that I have started working in a watch shop full time, so that I could pay for my dental supplies and buy that damned pole already lol

    I supervise volunteers and interns on a crisis line. I also teach a two day suicide intervention workshop for caregivers and a 3 hour suicide alertness training for the general population. I'm currently trying to figure out how to make a living in a way that allows me to spend more time in the wilderness. Any suggestions?

    I'm a law student intending to specialise in human rights and especially rights for women and the LGBTQ community (we're a bit backwards about these things in my country, unfortunately). :/ 

    I teach English part-time to pay for my pole classes. Hehe.

    I work full time as a cosmetics manager. I’ve worked for several Sephora locations thought NYC over the course of 10 years. I am also a makeup artist, and personal Eyelash Extensionist/brow tech.

    I have a pole blog, as well as a fitness blog; teach beginner pole privately and in-studio, and host private/mobile pole parties, I am studying for my certification in Personal Training, and group fitness.

    I also want to become a fitness/bikini competitor, so I work and volunteer in local NCP competitions, hit the gym 6 days/week.

    Phew …that made me tired.

    County Public Administrator's Office- we handle estates for those without next of kin or without someone else willing or able to handle their estate.

    Rue Mort- If you haven't gotten to know your local PA, you will soon! I work with local mortuaries constantly. I love my job because it is a bit of everything. Investigating assets (drilling safe deposit boxes, etc), selling off assets, searching for family, going to court occasionally, lots of different things.

    I'm also a volunteer firearms instructor. I specialize in teaching shotguns and clay target sports to women!

    I’m a Multi-source intelligence analyst with the Air Force, prior Army. I can’t say exactly what I do, but I’m sure you guys can imagine that it is pretty high stress. My go-to zen is always my pole and I get on it, just for a little while, everyday and hope to compete next year with PDA.

    Oh, and I am a licensed FFL- I have more guns than shoes and purses combined. Lol!
