Hello all!

I was just wondering what everyone does for a living (assuming you are out of school). I am a banker for a credit union, so I process loans, do insurance, open accounts, file taxes, etc. My job isn't what I thought I would be doing, but I like it.

I got my degree in History and minored in Spanish. I wanted to work in a museum or a library, but things don't always work out I guess! ^-^


What about you? What do you do for a living? ^-^

When I finish cosmetology school soon I'll be doing that. :p
 
I work as a teacher in special education. Mostly in one school but I do go around and do work in EBD schools (which just specialise in behaviour basically). I also work as a PA for a child with special needs. Always planned on being a teacher, got myself 2 degrees and 2 NVQ's in preparation for it. I like my jobs, can't imagine what else I would do

Well that will be fun! My sister did cosmetology for a bit, but decided it wasn't for her. It was fun being her practice person though! ^-^

Oh wow! Your job must be very demanding/stressful, but I am sure it is also very rewarding. I considered being a teacher for a few years, but decided it wasn't for me! Good for you, and thank you for the work you do! ^-^

Suffering, got my degree for it and everything.

Oh gosh! Haha! Some days (like today) when my job is particularly stressful, I feel the same! Hang in there! ^-^
 
I'm a Graphic Designer. I like it, but sometimes it's frustrating since my job depends on my creativity and lets face it; it isn't always there.
 
I work part-time in a pre-school as a teacher assistant for kiddos w/ cognitive and emotional disorders

Yeah I can see how that could be rough! What kind of things do you design? ^-^

Oh wow! That must be intense. That is awesome though! I'm sure you make a big difference to them and the teacher! ^-^
 
I tried a degree for Journalism, didn't quite work out! But I do write short stories, just as a li'l hobby! But when I moved to Connecticut I entered college again for Vet classes and earned a certificate as a Vet Assistant! Guess who gets to work with li'l animals ^.^

Yeah I understand! My degree didn't get me where I wanted, but I have that piece of paper haha! (And a bunch of loans... :C) I still like to read and learn about history and I try to practice languages when I can! ^-^

That is soooo cool that you are a Vet assistant! ^-^ Is it amazing? I wanted to be a vet when I was little, but when I found out that sometimes they don't get better I couldn't do it... :C What is your fave part about it?

I was a childcare provider fo 20 years. I needed a change, so I now work as a housekeeper at a hospital.

Oh cool! Not quite the same, but I was a candy stripe-er for a while at a hospital. It was pretty fun! Do you enjoy it?
 
I'm an Early Childhood Educator, looks like there are a few of us around here! I prefer working with toddlers or kindergarteners but can work with any age, I'm qualified up til 12. I've worked in a variety of kinders and childcare centres, including as a one-on-one inclusion support educator for a child with additional needs, as well as doing private "nanny" work. When I'm cleared to work again (I'm having surgery for health issues), I'll be looking for a job at a not-for-profit childcare centre so I can work with a range of ages again. I can't wait!

I've always wanted to be a teacher or involved in education in some way. Back in high school I was planning to go to uni and help fix our education system from an academic angle. Life happened and I was lucky enough to find I adore working with children and families, and am well-suited to doing so. I work on improving things from the ground-up - and in the ten years since I first began studying, the EC sector has seen an incredible amount of development and positive change. We still have a lot to work on, but we're getting there step by step. At some point I'll return to study to get my degree and possibly a Masters, but for now I'm satisfied with my diploma. I've already got years of experience but I want to spend a few more years consolidating my current knowledge and working in a leadership role before I go back to uni. This is a field where on-the-floor work goes hand-in-hand with theory and I refuse to be one those people who rushes through a teaching degree only to find they have no idea how to run a room, those people don't last long lol.

Existing. I don't really have a job, I'm on disability. I'd like to go back to school though(I never made it past 10th or 11th).
 
Nothing at the moment.. Living? Hopefully I can get some help with finding a job or just get some economic compensation soon though.
 
I work at IBM in automation (Computer Science related field) but my work is confidential. :p
