Is PC your FT job? Or do you have other employment?

My FT employment is in a TV newsroom. I'm not a reporter, but do help them out a lot. I've done various jobs in the 20 years I've been with the company.

PC is my hobby job.
 
I'm a full time prison RN ... PC is also my hobby job! :)
 
I am a biology teacher and I teach online (ECOT). PC is my hobby job too :)
 
I work full time in hospital administration. PC is my hobby, but I am looking to retire in the next 1-2 years and hope to make it my part time job then!:p
 
I work in a call center full-time, but PC keeps me busy more than part-time! I love my job but hope to eventually be full-time PC!!!
 
I work full-time as a pharmacy technician. I have 12 more years before I can think of retiring. So, for now it is my hobby job but I hope to make it more eventually....
 
I work PRN as a Surgery RN (1-2 days a week), have 4 kids with one severly handicapped and 2 grandsons. Pampered Chef is my hobby job, but some months it kicks up a notch to my part-time job. I love the flexibilty :)
 
I work full time, though I don't like saying publicly here what I do. I will PM you. You will find it quite interesting.
 
I work full time too and consider PC my part time job. I would love to make it my full time job eventually!
 
I work full time at a major bank, though not in a branch.
 
I work full-time as a Casino Shift Manager and drive 2 hours a day to get there. I LOVE selling Pampered Chef and hope to retire in 5 years and continue selling it to supplement my income. I can only have shows on my days off now due to the lengthy drive. I don't get home till 7 p.m. By then it's too late to pack up and get to a show.
 
I work full time at a software company. I also run the kids' program at our Unitarian church which keeps me busy a few hours a week (planning) and most Sundays.
 
Yes, I have a full-time job. I'm a hobby consultant.
 
Currently work another j.o.b. but that may be ending within the next 4 weeks because I refuse to drive a school bus! Then it will be PC full speed ahead!
 
Yes. I work as a parapro with special needs Pre-K kids. I love my job!
 
I'm a full-time caregiver for my live-in mother-in-law who has alzheimers. I don't get a paycheck but it is definitely full time work! I do PC part time, would love to make enough to put her in a home.
 
I have worked at a car dealership as a bookkeeper for the last 18 years. It's had its ups and downs with the economy I went from full time to 21 hours a week. PC has helped but I need to get moving with it. It does not look as though full time hours will come back anytime soon.
 
Have worked for a Virginia state agency for almost 27 years and PC hobbist for 3 1/2. It's great to have the flexibility to make a little more $$ with my hobby when needed!
 
I work for a state agency too, full time. My retirement eligibility date is 10/10/2016.
So, I seem to manage to stay active just barely, and I've lost my lifetime sales twice now.But I'm still plugging along and will still do PC after I retire.
 
I'm an aviation magazine editor full-time and do PC as a hobby.
 
I work two part time jobs which equal full time. One for a telecom management company and the other as office supervisor/bookkeeper for a massage therapy clinic. PC is my hobby.
 
This is a fascinating thread - we have such a varied group! I work in the music department of a large church keeping up with music,subbing for our organist, and teaching and playing handbells.

I am a full time college student and do PC to make income while in school.

When I was in college, I was part of a handbell choir my sophomore year. I loved it! When I moved back to my home state and to a larger city, I looked for a handbell choir to join. I found one, and was part of it for a year, but they lack the lower tone bells so it always sounds too high-pitched and tinny.
 
I work part time as a grocery store cashier clerk (for the consistent income). My dream is to leave that behind and be my own boss FULL time! For ten years, I was a bookkeeper at a manufacturing company, but then left that career when my son (my first child of 3) turned 1. My son is now 9 yrs.
 
I work 32 hours a week as a triage nurse. Can truly say I am feeling burned out and would like my PC business to be more that the hobby job I started out with.

I am curious. You will have to pm me too. I was a software engineer. Now I stay at home w our 2 girls. I want PC to help w income but it is more of a hobby at the moment.
 
I work full time for the University of Florida. My PC job really was to try and earn extra funds but it has turned into working for products to stock my kitchen!
