I am an Admin. Assist. in a publishing company for 15 years with a 13 year maternity leave after 3 of those years.

I also own a candle and gift shop that began 5 years ago out of my kitchen and of last year opened a retail store that my daughter runs. My specialty are candles made of soy wax.

I'm an attorney--specifically a staff attorney to a judge for the United States Bankruptcy Court. I've been in that position for almost 7 years and love it.

Wow - what a diverse group!

And a HUGE KUDOS to you stay at home moms - I don't have kids, but think that's the hardest job on the planet.

I have worked in high-tech my entire career, and am currently a Global Program Manager in a training group for one of the two largest computer companies... Most of my work involves organizational design and effectiveness - they HATE to see me coming .

Props to all the stay-at-home moms. I work at home 3 days a week and watch my DD. I swear, my days off are when I get to go into the office.

I am a Portfolio Administrator/ Senior Cash Accountant in a large Wealth Management Firm in NYC. It's not my perfect job but like for many of you pays my biking, gym and other hobbies that I so enjoy. My other job is babysitting my BF who acts like a 5 year old on a daily basis

We had 16,000 cases filed in Indianapolis alone in the six weeks before the new bankruptcy law went into affect in October of 2005, and a total of 35,000 cases for the year. We were one of the busiest courts in the country during that time. In contrast, we had a total of 9,000 cases filed locally in 2006.

I wish I could say the the dramatic decrease reflects improvements in the law or that people are going into less debt, but I don't think that's the case. I just think the change in the law flushed out just about anybody who was thinking of filing, and that it's just a matter of time before numbers go back up. If and when the real estate market falls out--to the point it's affecting not just sub-prime but prime lenders--all hell is going to break lose.

PhD Microbiologist ended up in the "real world" packaging medicines for clinical trials. I want to DO clinical trials, not just provide the boxes. So I am currently on the lookout.
