What's your "day" job?

I work in Diversity at the University of Southampton. We make sure we don't break the law with regards to equality issues and set up best practice initiatives. etc...
 
I am the Drumming Instructor for a troubled teen program called The Alldredge Academy. We use drumming circles as part of the students therapy. I organize drum circles, teach traditional West African drum rythms, and the students play on Ashikos that I help them build. We perform out in public at local schools, senior centers, or local festivals and fairs. The drumming helps the students to reconnect, builds confidence, and teaches them how to work as a group. The drumming helps the students to focus and strive for a "one drum" sound. I feel that I am blessed to be a part of such a great program, and help these kids to find their way. It is really rewarding to watch these kids make a transition into becoming a positive individual, and to make a living not only helping kids but doing what I love to do more than anything else. Never stop drumming!

im a chimney sweep.. and i install stoves!

ha. people don't believe chimney sweeps still exist.

Thank God for chimney sweeps! I wish we had some where I live. I'm a volunteer firefighter and every year when the cold weather hits everyone cranks up their wood stoves and fire places and they are in shock when the side of their house is on fire. They don't clean out their chimneys! All of that build up ignites and then they call us. I tip my hat to you sir, you have a very important job!

Well, my "day" job is looking after my three children - two boys aged 7 and 4, and my daughter who just turned one. Plus all the horrible stuff like doing the laundry and cleaning etc.

Before that I worked a few different jobs in the medical/dental industry.
