As was brought up here a few times in days of yore, I'm an Orthodox priest. I don't know if folks will find that interesting, but it may make me an odd man out.

Running a comic shop can be really interesting. I certainly get to meet many interesting people!

I'm a social worker at a small, local hospital. After 4 years in child welfare, I'm working with a geriatric, dementia population now. Very fulfilling work.

I work at a public library, which, unfortunately is much more interesting than we would like with the large number of homeless and mentally ill that frequent it, particularly during the summer.

After 25 years in the steel industry, mainly cold
rolling it, i was made redundant when the group went
into administration and our factory was closed.I now
work in Store Operations for a major retailer, basically
working behind the scenes to make sure everything runs
smoothly, safety systems are operational and stock is
rotated.It`s a major change, but i enjoy it and only
work 30 hours a week, which at my age is nice! We are
also treated much better than my old job, and i work
with a decent bunch of people, many share my geeky
passions!

Just about ready to hit the 30th year on my journey as a graphic designer --> creative manager --> freelance web designer --> and on my way to being an independent comic book artist. That'll be my "retirement" career.

Mortgage underwriter. Not overly interesting, but I do get to read some hysterical and creative lawsuit complaints once in a while. The best part is when we get rescue purchases where a different lender wasn’t able to get someone in a home, and we’re able to save the day and figure out a way to get it closed.

I started out as a road musician -- I'm a pianist -- and played on three broadway national tours. I've written music and lyrics for over a dozen produced musicals. (One at the Fringe Theatre Festival in Edinburgh.)
After too many years on the road, I taught music at a private school in Maryland and "retired" (burned out) ten years later.
For lack of something better to do, I got my personal training certification (bucket list) and then became interested in therapeutic stretching. I now co-own a partner-assisted stretching company. We have three locations in the DC area right now. It's not as big a change from music as you might think.
