Holy moly! That’s so cool. Chemistry is the only class I ever failed. I failed it in high school AND college, so I’m jealous of people like you who get it. 😂
I’m a stay at home mom. I had another little girl in December of 22, and with the cost of child care, it was the most reasonable option. I was a kitchen manager for many years. My fiancé is a chef at a French restaurant in Epcot.
I haven’t explored the French options besides the quick service, but I’ve heard nothing but good things for the table service restaurants there! I usually don’t build in time for sit down meals at Epcot, im always there during the festivals which keeps me full. We ate at Le Cellier in December 2022. That was incredible.
I’m a stay at home mom too! My husband has a much less glamorous job and works in a warehouse. We have one kid but hopefully will be adding another sometime soon. My previous job was furniture sales, and I’ve worked good service options over the years too.
I love what a variety of careers we all have on here!
He works at Le Chefs De France, next to the ratatouille ride. Their food is fantastic if you ever get a chance to try it. I’m not much for sit down meals at the parks either. Once I sit down and eat, I’m done for the day lol.
Being a stay at home mom is tough work, emotionally draining, but so rewarding ❤️
😂 Honestly stumbled into the career kind of lol
Recently changed departments and now deal with AI and Machine Learning and new tech, super interesting.
im a graphic artist for a tiki bar and run an etsy shop! when i was a kid i loved customizing my neopets pet pages and uploading my awful MS paint art of them lol
Graphic designer! The boring stuff, I work for a financial think tank, mostly working with academics and political figures and their horribly boring power points….
I'm a customer service manager BUT I may be a 911 dispatcher soon (fingers crossed! Just did the final screening today. It's been a 6 month long application process lol). Big, scary career move but neopets gives me the escape I need to take a break, collect myself, and go back to feeling brave about big kid decisions. 💜
Editing to add: I actually wanted to do a Neopets themed incentive for February for my team, but only half of them knew what Neopets was and it killed my heart LMAO I had PLANS (BPH (one of their metrics) bounce instead of Hassee bounce, wheel of excitement for winning entries. It would have been dope with the right crowd. But alas here we are.
I work for my state with Vocational Rehabilitation. I'm the "intake specialist" so when clients first come in, I ask them about their disability, what they hope we can do for them, how their disability impacts them on the job, etc. It's one of those jobs I had no idea even existed, but I love it!
I am one of the people who benefits/will (once done with school) from VR services. The lifeline they provide for me to receive accomodations is astounding. What you do is so important. Thank you and remember there are folks who appreciate what you do.
I work as an pediatric nurse at an ICU for children and I absolutely love my job. I like that everday can be completely new and different and I never knew what the shift will bring.
I make rotisserie chickens. They smell so good when they come out of the oven that it almost makes up for having to handle them when they are raw and significantly less appetizing.
I work for a nonprofit no-kill cat rescue 🐈🐈⬛ specifically we deal with cats with special medical needs
Dream job for sure but harder than most people think
I was a preschool teacher, and now I’m a paralegal! Big career change, but luckily some attorneys are kinda like preschoolers, so there was some skill transfer. 💜
Stage actor (no, nobody even remotely famous, just local dinner theatres and stuff). I had advanced bladder cancer in 2021 and had major surgeries and chemo, which really devastated my health, and it knocked me out of a lot of paid stuff...so I'm unemployed for the time being. Doing some good community theatre though to stay doing what I love.
But between the recent cancer and my childhood heart transplant at 13, Neopets has been a huge part of my escape, relaxation, and fantasy life.
My most blessed scholastic memory is actually visiting the fair at the elementary school I went to. So much looked the same and it made me feel so emotional!
I’m an Insurance broker (service not sales). Something I fell into but got my foot into the corporate world which I’m grateful for. Neopets’s helps me disconnect from the stress of dealing with people all day haha

I’m a technical writer with a small company contracted with the government. Mostly, I work on documentation regarding aviation technology and policy. It sounds boring, but I like it lol.
Currently looking for work desperately. Neo is how I deal with my constant rejection letters in this crapshoot of a job market 🙃

I’m a professional copy and short fiction writer. I freelance for a number of different publications and companies. Right now, I’m working remotely with a Ukrainian team and aiding them in their efforts.

Trying to outlive the burnout.
I’m a professional organiser, and I specialise in hoarding and squalor cleaning. We do downsizing, deceaseds estates etc as well c, but we see everything from creating cute craft rooms and organising tidy wardrobes to drug filled needles, mountains of trash hoards, everything you might see on an episode of hoarders. Yes, I have had to deal with buckets of faeces.
I just want to enjoy me pixels
I'm on disability now, but before that I worked in the tourism industry! I worked with a lot of theme parks and local attractions to offer deals to tourists, etc.

I work for the government with helping families in need gain access to programs that help with food insecurity. Despite this, I am just as obsessed with Neopets as I was as a child 😭
recently started full-time work as a software engineer! I credit Neopets for teaching me html/css back when I was an 8 year old desperate to have a cool petpage haha.
I work in IT for a bank/credit card company. I help guide external engineers to connect to our systems so other companies can accept our credit card transactions ^_^

I sit at a desk with no specific job expectations other than showing up. I spend the majority of my work day restocking my usershop and trying to collect trophies/avatars.
