Occupations Everyone?

Hello ya'll.
I have not been around for awhile, as I have been busy with work, and looking after my 9 month old daughter. I had some time before I went to bed so I thought I would check in and see what is going on in the world of Flyertalk.
As you all are probably aware from my screen name...I am, a CATSA screener.
Working in the airport security field, I meet MANY passengers flying to various destinations in Canada, and abroad.
I have met everyone from a Jesuit Priest, to...the man who the movie Rain Man was based on..I have met many celebrities while at work at the airport as well. What I enjoy about my job is that I get a feeling of pride, and that I am doing something great to keep my fellow Canadians, and other passengers safe.
So, I would like to know, what, you, do for a living? I enjoy meeting new people, and enjoy chatting with passengers when I have time, or if they ask me various questions, or if they approach me while I am having lunch in the food court.
I think I have found myself a wonderful career, working at YHZ screening baggage gives me a honorable feeling, and I go to work every day with a sense of pride, and I love hearing from passengers who stop to comment on how safe they feel after going through the screening process...
I recently had, a passenger approach one of my point leaders after I had chosen him for secondary screening, and I watched him thinking he was arguing about the pat down, but he was telling my PL how I did a great job and he wanted to let someone know he appreciated what we did.
