I am in healthcare construction I'm a project manager on the owners side of things. I did start in heavy construction as a field engineer building roads and doing water and drainage projects. I was outside alot in the cold and wasn't affected very much. My job now is much more cushy.

I just finished college and am currentky on the hunt for a teaching job anywhere! lol. Student teaching was a lot of work and I hope that I can make it in teaching. I have wanted to be a teacher forever, so I am really hopeful and glad that it is finally happening for me. Since it is the middle of the school year and I prob wont be able to find a real job till at least the summer, I am either going to substitute teach or work as an aide for the remainder of the school year.
I used to work at a movie theater and also a daycare. The movies werent so bad, but the daycare was pretty bad for a CFer because no matter the season, kids were sick and you would have to wipe thier noses allllll the time. I looooved that job, but my boss kinda kicked me out! I think she was worried about me and she didnt want to be the cause of any more of my hospitilzations. Older kids are much better because you dont have to be all over them hugging them and wiping noses, so that is what changed my mind.
PS Nice to meet you!! I am Caitlin, 22, diagnosed at 6 months.

I am also a domestic goddess-like Melissa, but I am soon to be a stay at home mom.
I worked as a freelance artist with my own successful business for about 4 years. I stopped doing art commissions to focus more on my health and hopefully to start a family. That's where I'm at now.
My personal viewpoint with cfers and work is that you should do whatever job you truly love, without worrying too much about germs....obviously I wouldn't reccomend a cfer being a doctor in a rwandan hospital! Within reason. Almost every job in life will require being around germs. I think if you want to do something-if your health permits it and you can maintain your chest pt schedule while doing it, do whatever you want. At least try it. You can always change it if its not working out or if you are getting sick.
Just my opinion.

I am currently doing a PhD in the UK studying a disease called pre-eclampsia. I work long hours in the lab on my feet a lot. The lab i work in is also in a hospital, but a maternity hospital so not as bug ridden as normal one - i think! However the walls are stained black next to the vents doh! It will/and does affect my health - but if it is what i want to do then it's worth it. It's also given me the opportunity to study at Yale for 3 months, which is just about to come to an end <img src="">. Have loved living in America for this short time, but look forward to home comforts too <img src="">
<br><br>
I do find myself struggling a lot more than my fellow PhD students, having had 8 weeks off this year already....however that's why an understanding employer is a necessity. Now i have settled into the regime and passed the major stress of the 1st year (UK PHD's are different to USA ones) i hope iv's will be less frequent. This was the first time in my life i have been full time all year round (undergraduate student life is a walk in tha park compared to it), i have definately noticed the difference.
<br><br>
This is what works for me, but everyone has to fgure out there own priorities. For me, whilst i am relatively healthy, my health is not THE priority in my life, but i do make sure i do my treatments despite everything.

I am a Vault Teller at a check cashing/payday loan company in the Seattle area. It isn't physically demanding, which isn't always good, sometimes I'd like to be a little more active. But lately I've been putting in 50+ hours a week working 6 days a week. I'm pretty proud of the fact that I can keep up that pace, although I'll be glad to get back to 5 day weeks once we're fully staffed.

Thanks for all your responses. Us CFers are such a diverse bunch. dbtoo, I will share recipes, but I must warn you that I am a vegan, so I don't have any recipes with meat, eggs or dairy. Are there any other vegans on here, btw? I have CFRD also and I find that being vegan is helpful in controlling blood sugars. Granted I have to eat a lot of food, because I eat mostly vegetables and tofu, but I don't mind so much as I really like to eat.
