I work in a county crime lab. I am a Forensic Chemist in the Controlled Substance Laboratory. All illegal drugs or narcotics are submitted to our lab and we analyze those drugs/narcotics and find exactly what they are. I also testify in court as Expert Witness. I used to work LabCorp for 6 years in the drug testing laboratory. Got tired of looking at urine samples all day. hahaha.

After becoming totally deaf, I worked full time as a beekeeper. After I "retired" earlier this year, I still work some nights moving bees from place to place for plant pollination, but mostly I now write a novel and use past teaching and writing skills to edit manuscripts for other writers.

Oh that is a neat job :) Have you seen the Bee Story ? I would love to see it but waiting for it to be open captioned.
 
I won't bee able to bee seein' Bee Story 'til it's out in DVD with subtitles. Anxious to see it, though.
 
I don't have a job or a career but being a divorced mom right now at this moment. That is my 24/7 job. I know I need to make up my mind what do I really want to do with my life. The problem is the answer haven't come to me yet. I'm hoping in time the answer will come to me. :)
 
I have many jobs. I am a mom most importantly. My other job is teaching ASL at a local school. My third job is working with and helping people in the Deaf community build successful businesses through Melaleuca. It's awesome to see people who struggle financially finally begin to earn good money and feel good about what they make.

I have been teaching for several years and working with Melaleuca for several months.

Oh wow everyone seem to have interesting job! Well I'm 20 years old but look like 14 cuz I'm very short and skinny lol anyways I'm currently on ssi blah I know, but at first I wanted to be hairstylist in high end salon until I started doing volunteer work recently about 3 weeks ago in office and I start to really like the job so I'm seriously thinking about going to college to get AA degree in accounting. I want to know if anyone is accountant and tell me if you like it and example of what company or whatever that hire accountant? Do all accountant have own cubicle? I know how to do some accounting already cuz my bf's mom is one and taught me some and let me do some of her work when I volunteer to help with work for everyone. And how much do you earn per hours?

Wow, I loved to read about everything that everyone else is doing! Good on ya all! As for me, I am an SEO Consultant and run my own business, employing 7 of my own staff. (Staff is Deaf and hearing mixed, and all sign proficiently!)

SEO is very exciting and also pretty 'new' so there are always opportunities for others to have their very own SEO companies and not so much worry about a lot of competition.

It's my favorite thing to do in the world, so I feel very grateful to do a job that I love, for an amazing boss - me. :)

Hope more Deaf will post to here. I love to see all the diversity in careers, jobs, and interests.
