    So many of you have such interesting jobs!

    I work in Marketing at a park district. I mostly do graphic design, but I also do a fair bit of social media, media buying, PR, etc. Marketing for a park district is fantastic because you're basically marketing fun! My husband's degree is in Theoretical & Applied Mechanics (essentially Mechanical Engineering) and he primarily writes/supports Finite Element Analysis software for a big company. Because he's writing the software, he's often called in to produce the models for other departments which is a lot more fun for him than the programming stuff.
