Salaries in the publishing world are known to be rather low, in every country. That's why translations are nice to do on the side to, as we say in French "mettre du beurre dans les épinards" (add butter to spinach)... The saying is that you are lucky to work in a publishing company, so you shouldn't complain.

I work as a Paramedic between October-March. April- Sept I work as a Wildland Firefighter. I do academic editing on the side.

I'm an aerospace engineer. Mostly in the field of satellites and rocketry. Doesn't leave a lot of time for writing, especially during the crazy test campaigns. But I still manage to find enough time...somehow.

Photographer. Was full-time, transitioned to part-time. Then I went on a break - stay at home mum. Now I'm easing back into it.

I would love to be a photographer however I am not I work in administration.

Which the company that I work for is closing so I am taking the time off to work on my novels and go on some adventures until reality comes back to consume me.

Computer programmer

Lawyer with my own law firm. I read and write all day, plus I have plenty of time left over for writing.

I am a librarian....my username is a bit obvious lol

That is so cool, I'm always looking for librarians for input on my WIP...a workplace drama that takes place...where else...but a library! Plus it takes place in the 90's as well.

As for me, I'm a Document Scanner cowboy...roaming around aimlessly from contract job to contract job. Have rubber thimble will travel.

Currently a dispatcher for a regional shipping company. I basically run the pharmacy department of my branch, despite being the lowest in the hierarchy...

Some interesting professions here!

I'm a doctoral student getting a PhD in Social Psychology at the moment. Mostly that means I help teach classes and run studies. I'm mostly studying human empathy, morality, and romantic relationships.

I'm always fascinated by what other people do for a living. I feel like we only get to see a very small percentage of what people actually do day-to-day, when there are so many jobs out there that most of us don't even think about.

I'm currently the Assistant HR Manager for a utility company. I do a lot of administrative work, like payroll and benefits. It's just as exciting as it sounds!

I'm a nurse, I also have an office job too, I would like to eventually transition out of nursing completely. I work both jobs on casual basis, I could go full time however at this time in my life casual works best for my family, so I average about 3 shifts a week depending.

I am retired professional from University faculty who took early retirement. Now I write nonfiction related to health and spirituality as a hobby. I do evaluate ancient eastern wisdom through the lens of science by being a scientist by profession.

I am a 911 operator for a very large city. Last year I was promoted to a trainer, so I teach people one-on-one the real world version of how to do the job if they make it past classroom training.

I am a content marketing specialist for Skutchi Designs. I write all the blog content on our own blog and guest post for related industries' sites frequently.

I have an Master's in Creative Writing, and I work as an accountant. I have no idea how that happened.

I'm an optician and an optical shop owner. The owner part is why I've been gone from AW for so long, and also the reason I have time to come back. Finally.

I feel like there is so much potential comedy in this, but I seem to have locked up.

I work for the government. It's certainly interesting to see the list of other occupations on here. I wish I could say more about mine haha. I'm actually trying to transition into another position within the government using my degree as an Environmental Scientist.

I am a tattoo artist. I have been for about 11 years now and prior to that I had always worked in art taking commissions for portraits and caricatures and landscapes.
