What do you do for a living?

I'm an apparel designer with a focus on women's activewear so my job CAN be pole-related except that the workout shorts that I design aren't short enough for pole. I work for a major U.S. department store full-time and I freelance for other clients designing yogawear and hunting apparel.

I love this thread! It's so wonderful to see such a wide-range of intelligent, professional, artistic, and diverse women out there! Wow 🙂 I am a full-time obstetric Registered Nurse with a Master's Degree in Nursing. I also perform fire arts (i.e. fire fans, fire fingers), model occasionally, and am training in aerial silks and pursuing shamanic studies. Yeah, I'm really busy, haha 🙂
-
Nice! I'm a registered nurse as well, but I work in the ICU. I'm currently obtaining my master's of science in nursing. I have one more year left and then I can take my boards to be a nurse practitioner.

Hi from Montreal! I graduated in theater , i'm a actress, specializing in voice over. I was a teacher with children but since I discovered the pole, I opened my own studio and I teach adults! I have many projects bringing together my two passions!
-
I am a marine engineer. i look at ships and ship equipment and make sure it works right. i imagine a few torches would hit the floor if it poled from a 2 inch sounding tube in the tank of a ship!
-
alas it would ruin my image totally
they would never pay attention to anything i said ever again even after 20 years of perfecting the louisiana shipyard engineer in charge bitch tone that sends men scramblin in all directions
and it's rare to find a 2 inch pipe hang alone and anchored top and bottom with nothing around it unless it absolutely has to be there and somebody forgot something
and metal is never allowed to drop to the deck they'd just stare open mouthed catchin flies while the torch burns
and that would be the end of me being the engineer in charge
sad but thats how it works with the good ol boys in the shipyard

I am a Stay at home mom to a wonderful soon-to-be 5yr old.
She'll be going to Kindergarten this fall so I may take up a part time job or volunteer during those hours we're apart. Not sure yet.

I’m a HS English teacher, who prefers to keep her extracurriculars under wraps, lol I do wish I could be more open, but when you teach teenagers, or teenage boys, I should say, don’t need to give them any more reasons to be distracted:)

Veena, I have a triple post. Can you please delete?

I had to bump this thread. Little P.O.'d right now from the Anderson Cooper show. People that think if you pole you are stripper (nothing wrong with that) can maybe educate themselves and see we are from ALL backgrounds! Heck, if I could copy and paste this onto my FB site I would!
-
I will hop on here since I am new, and Lyme bumped it up.
I briefly taught English in South America before working my way through college (3 jobs at a time, Retail, leased apts, offices, bartending, waiting tables, etc…) for a BA in Film/TV Production from GWU. I sold all of my stuff and moved from DC to San Diego after college on a one way flight with 3 suitcases, and (after some bad freelance experiences) ended up starting a successful pest control business with my husband 7 years ago. We work as a team, with him doing field work and me doing pretty much everything else for about 300 maintenance customers. I’m great at marketing and promoting small business.
-
I sew costumes and unique clothing when I'm not working my retail job. I also paint, sculpt, and busk. Since I do all that to earn money I guess it all counts! Really it's making costumes and clothing that makes me happiest and what I will always do in the end. Eventually I hope to go back to school and learn the things I haven't learned/self-taught and then one day work for a film and take part in making something as amazing as the work in something like the LOTR trillogy. I would have given anything to have worked on some of the costumes for that film. 🙂
-
oh, and I write and do editing for people. Just as passionate about that as costumes really. I think I just like creating. lol Idea for my job title- I'm a "Creator"! Hahaha. I think though I work full-time as a Geek though.

I have my Doctorate, Masters and Bachelors degrees in Horn Performance. I am a college professor teaching music, and a professional musician. I teach a private studio of horn students (in addition to my college students) and play in a few orchestras and chamber music groups. Last year I got to play in a couple of soundtrack orchestras for "Underworld Awakening" and "Mirror, Mirror." One of the funnest concerts I've played in was "Zelda Live" with the Seattle Symphony.

I am an RN, a Manager for a Biotech Company. I sell Factors and Immune Gobulins for bleeding disorders and immune disorders in 7 States. I used to be a Infertility Research RN at UCLA and a Midwife. I am working towards opening my own business doing Reflexology, Meridian work and Accupressure. Want to say bye bye to the Corporate world. I have always worked more than one job when raising my 3 kids alone.
I do not share my hobbies or too much about my personal ilfe at work. Learned over the years that is best and it is no ones biz. Always that someone with an agenda or jealous or nutz.
We are such a Fabulous and talented group on here. XXOO

In July I opened Defiance Studios so am now a full time studio owner/pole instructor/hoop dance instructor.
I own a Mixed Martial Arts gym with my husband. I coach beginner and boxing classes there, though not as often as I used to since opening the studio. That is where most of my time is spent now!
I also have a video production company, two Etsy shops sellinng a variety of art/crafts (Custom Zombie and The Lighter Side), a travel business that specializes in red-eye bus trips, and I teach firearms classes.

This is awesome!
I'm a fluoroelastomer technician (rubber chemist). I went to school for Biology and ended up in manufacturing. Basically, I get to make things and destroy them to figure out how they work and why they might fail. I love it!
We are also working daily on our coral beds in the 600+ gallons of salt water tanks we have at home. I do the water testing, he takes care of everything else (I got the good end of that deal). The great thing about the tanks is they have lead my boyfriend to look into the PS poles so it can be out in the garage, away from any tank we have. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Rubbers chemist = stinky job (literally)! Not sure I could handle the smell on a daily basis.
-
Chemgoddess https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif It's not so bad in the small batches we make in the labs, ie <5000g. The fluoroelastomers aren't as pungent as many other rubbers! I had a blast with some HNBr trials in the last few months – and that's a different smell altogether.
I used to work (eons ago) in a spray drying facility and that had some of the worst smells ever! The ethanol plant wasn't too great either https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif
Good thing the pole studio smells awesome!

Well, up until I moved, I was in antibody manufacturing, but I have since left that field and am back to the simple life of an office worker. I liked my biotech job in general, but I didn't like being the cause of so many animal deaths.
-
Wow what an amazing variety of jobs 🙂 I am a student cardiac physiologist, I do ECGs (EKG), fit and read heart monitors, do ultrasounds,exercise tests, check pacemakers, assist doctors in cardiac catheterisation, basically most of the tests you can have done on your heart!
-
I'm a CPA. I work for a government contractor as a management consultant. Very dry, boring work but it pays the bills.
I work in a very conservative industry, so I only told maybe 5 or so people I work with. But anyone who follows me on instagram knows (so add another 5 or 10 coworkers to that). LOL. It's hard to keep it a total secret when it's something I'm so passionate about and proud of. So far the reactions I've gotten from coworkers have been pretty positive. I even turned out a couple of them! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
