Wow, there seems to be quite a few us in the medical profession. That's great. Blogging is such a switch from our day jobs hey?!

I'm a retirement consultant for one of the largest religious denominational retirement plans in the US.  I get to travel a lot and talk to teachers, church employees and pastors about saving for the future.  I really enjoy it!

I'm a chemical engineer and work for a large raw material supplier.  I'm currently in a sales/marketing job and work with product designers at OEMs. My job is essentially to help them select suitable materials into their new product launches.  I've also worked in procurement, product management, quality, process and production engineering…among other things.  Great thread.

Money Reasons

Currently (but hope to change this someday), I'm a Systems Engineer for a large (fortune 500) financial firm.  In the not-to-distant past, I use to do computer consulting (software development) for law school and plastics/packaging companies.

 

This is a great thread and I've learned a lot about everybody!  It seems most of us are engineer, financial services, medical fields, or some over logical or technical field.

I work in health care administration. I did front line work (medical receptionist) for three years. For the past 7 years, I've been on the back end, working on the health plan (insurance) side of a major managed care organization. For the majority of that time I was an admin analyst – doing both secretarial type work as well as reporting and analysis. Now, I have a fancy title that basically means I'm an office manager.

I plan to be where I am for another 2-3 years and then I'd like to move more fully in to operations (I do that as part of my job now) for an international health organization.

Miss T -

I think the reason might be is that its one of the most stable fields out there right now. Unlike a lot of "industries" health care is continuing to grow. 

At the same time, my job is so far removed from a sonographer or a pharma researcher that it doesn't really feel like we're in the same field at all. I probably have more in common with someone who does office management/operations in a financial firm than I do most other people in health care. I just happen to understand the health care lingo. Wink

I'm a Financial Analyst working for a publically traded company. However, I'm more half finance analyst-half accountant. I only need to finish four more college courses to start taking my CPA!

Accounting is definitely the way to go. I highly recommend it.

I used to work clinical myself but I have branched off into management now. I like it and you're right, it is stable. However where I live in Canada, it is a very politically charged environment to work in.

I got through the first page and I though to myself "wow, I'm going to be one of the only people in this line of work!". I was surprised because I'm a software developer and I thought there would be tons of them because we can naturally gravitate to online activity. Then the disappointment set in when on pages 2-4 it seemed every second post was related to software development, graphic design, or IT.

I mostly program in .Net doing server and database programming but am breaking into the web development side of things a little bit lately. Starting a website was still pretty hard for me (would have been easier had I chosen Wordpress to do it instead of Drupal) but at least I can sort of figure out what is going on behind the scenes if I really want to.

First post on Yakezie in a long time – I hope to make a bit of a comeback!

Miss T- 

Healthcare is also very politically charged here in the US- especially right now, and especially for an organization like the one I work in. Managed Care Organizations (aka Health Maintenance Organizations – HMOs) are somehow seen as a combination of the greatest evil ever inflicted on the health care receiving public and the saviors of health care in the US. It is a very odd place to be, and when people learn what company I work for (locally) I either get told how they love it or how its the worst place on the planet.

I can definitely relate. People either love us or hate us.

My husband is kinda old-fashioned (especially for being 32) and so I stay at home. So, I guess I'm a housekeeper, budget-er, bill payer, mum (school age now and just 1), errand runner, a sometimes cook, and whatever else needs to be done. I'm also a full-time blogger, even though I don't actually make any money. I still LOVE it though. Wink
