My Daddy is a Policeman. He used to work arson and then spent a while working fraud before being transferred back to uniform and working in an area of Sydney (Australia) called Kings Cross. It's a bad, bad area.
My Mother worked as a waitress for a while, and then started working as a factory floor manager at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. She (and her new husband who also works there) was given redundancy about 10 years ago and apparently travels around Australia doing fruit picking and tourist type things. Although, this is according to my sister as I've not seen or heard from her since I told her I was gay and she told me that it was fine as long as I was happy. Yeah, that and Santa... fucking liar.
Not that I'm bitter about it.

Oh, and as for me... I'm a palliative care nurse. That means that I work with people who a terminally ill and in the acute process of dying. I meet most of my patients when they have a couple of months left so that I can get to know them and we can talk about their options and how they want to go through the death process, and I work with them right up until they pass.
I know it sounds awful, but it affords me great satisfaction because I can see that I really help my patients and their families feel safer and less scared about what they are going through.

My mother is a recruiter, and I am a student eagerly awaiting the start of the eleventh grade.

My mom is a tourism consultant, and my dad is a pathologist who does autopsies. I want to watch him do one. :P
I just hope he doesn't have to do mine one day....

That sounds like a wonderful job. Though you may lose people you become close to, I suppose the knowledge that you helped them make their final days better more or less makes up for that. That actually sounds like something I might like doing.

My mother is a freshwater biologist/limnologist/zoologist/university lecturer. She works a lot in conservation of rainforests and is heavily into educating younger generations in developing countries to look after the environment.
My dad is a mining engineer who's now CEO of a mining corporation currently looking for gold in Azerbaijan. He's worked in Indonesia, Canada, Australia, Malaysia and Argentina, and has been offered work in Siberia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and London, so as you can imagine he isn't around much at home. We get to visit him where he works though, which is always awesome.
I'm still undecided about what sort of career I want, but surgery, veterinary science and marine biology are all on the cards. Perhaps even fashion design or filmmaking, I really don't know.

My mother is a receptionist, but she used to do art modelling.
I used to work in a bookstore, now I work in a clothing store. I'm hoping to change jobs in about six months, perhaps I'll look into art modelling as well.

My mother is a retired PhD, principal and lobbyist for the Los Angeles school district Head Start Program (she collected a billion dollars for the schools in Washington D.C. then came back and handed it out). Now she travels around the world. She is going to France next week.
My father is a retired custom machinist who used to make prototype metal objects, and is now a gentlemen farmer in Oregon. He raises and slaughters his own cows and sheep on 13 acres. He has also has geese and other domesticated animals. I love his workshop, it has all kinds of cool stuff. At night you hear frogs and crickets and see a gazillion stars in the sky from his front porch. He also has deer walk through his front yard.
Me? I just fly around the U.S. fixing databases and networks, but I am studying to become a certified laser optics technician.

My parents have silly jobs that are hard to explain.
My mummy assess people with traineeships or something.
And my daddy is some kind of sub-boss type person in a company that ships aliminium or something. And sometimes he drives a forklift.
I don't have a job, but I'm thinking about trying to get one at the bakery near where I live. But when I get big I want to be a Fine Art Photographer

It would have been awesome if you just left it like this.
'My daddy farms gentlemen!'

Haha! I totally missed that interpretation! Yes, gentlemen need to be farmed, they do not grow in the wild, and sometimes one must pull weeds.
Does one farm ladies? Are you being raised in a lady farm?
O_o
I would love to see and smell the beautiful ladies in full bloom in the Spring...

My mother died when I was very young and was, as I am told a great singer.
My father was the head of the recycling program in our area.
And my step mother was a bitch as well.
I work nights in a hotel as assistant manager.

It is a wonderful job and I absolutely love it, even of the days where I hate going into work once I get there I really enjoy myself. I constantly laugh, joke and occassionally cry with my patients and their families and there is a lot of joy around. These people know that they don't have a long time left and they want to make it a happy time. They don't complain like 'normal' patients and are amazingly gracious.
Although, there is the occassional arsehat to throw a spanner in the works. I once had a patient say to me (after listening to another patient rant and rave at me for everything that he could think of) "Well, I guess dickheads end up with cancer too, huh?" I laughed so hard when he said that.
I would recommend it as a career to anyone, but you need to have patience, be able to understand that a lot of the time people act out by being angry at you when they are really angry at themselves, you need to not be scared of being truthful and have the capacity to look someone in the eyes and tell them 'yes, you are going to die very soon' when they ask you about it... and you need to be able to wipe up large amounts of poo. There is a LOT of poo.
That's what I do for a job, I hold hands and wipe up poo.
