    I'm an orthodontist in Toronto, Canada. I know it's cliche, a dentist/orthodontist with a fish tank, but mine is at home rather than in my waiting room. If it was at my office I'd never see any patients.

    I'm a Food technologist/regulatory specialist in Uxbridge, Canada. I put together seasonings and flavourings for the food industry (mainly meat) and make the product labels. The best part about my job is eating all the product we make!... the hardest part is not eating it...

    I am in the same boat as someone earlier, stay at home dad. I worked at an AT&T call center for many years. Was a manager in technical support. Quit when the @#^ started hitting the fan and became a really ridiculous place to work (started headcutting managers to make up for the mistakes the director made). I can make more money on unemployment than the jobs I have found so far and get to stay at home with my 2 year old son.
