Careers
 

I'm a bit bored this evening, and I was wondering what you all do. Either what your career is now, or what you're currently studying, or what you did study! I always love hearing about this from other people for some reason. I think it gives me motivation to keep going on a career or consider others cause I'm always changing my mind haha.

As for me, I'm a geology major! I'd like to become a mineralogist at the moment... but that could change when I learn more about the other branches of geology.

Anyway, please share if you'd like! And I hope this is the right forum for this kind of discussion haha.

i am a life guard! hooray... And teach swim lessons when my schedule isnt like omfg no free time for you....and im enrolled in radiological technologists classes...if thats how you would put it

I am a Health Care Aide working in an auxiliary (long term care facility). I've been doing this kind of work since 1982.

I have a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Computer Information Security. I work in Information Security.

I sometimes play with the idea of doing something else and going back to school for something but then I get lazy :)

I'll have a bachelors in nursing, in April!

Working as an Administrative Assistant to a VP of Sales. Most days, I like it. lots of numbers. I'm working towards BS in mathematics.

i have a bachelor's degree in Anthropology, and i'm currently working on my Master's of Library and Information Studies. i want to be a youth services librarian at a public library.

I studied psychology and I currently work at an elementary school English teacher in Asia.

I'm a Romance Enhancement Specialist ;) I'm also a wildlife rehabilitator and a former Animal Care Curator of a nature center in New Orleans before Katrina happened.

I have a degree in Chemical Engineering/Petroleum Refining.

I'm a marketing specialist for an insurance agency. (not quite a fit for my degree, but I like it!)

I'm a registered nurse. I have worked at the same hospital for 32 years, currently on a Mother-Baby unit.

I have a degree in chemical engineering, but now am a stay-home homeschooling mom:D

Social Work degree (after changing major 3 times). Employed as a technology coordinator for a school district for the last 11 years.

I'm finishing up my Doctor of Pharmacy and working part time in a computational chemistry lab. The job is handy as 90% of the time, I just wait on the computer to do it's job while I study.

I also work as an intern for a pharmacy chain store a couple times a month.

I am a problem solver...cop.

i am a veterinarian.

I'm a physical therapy assistant. I have an AS in this and a CA state license, and I also have a BS in Kinesiology. I'm considering taking the course to be certified as a Spin (cycling) instructor).

I have a BA double major (Psychology, German), a PGDipSci (health psych) and now im doing my MSc (Health Psych). I want to go into research. At the moment im working as a note taker/amanuensis for my university disability service

I'm a security screener, sausage slicer, and sex-toy seller!

Yep, I work full-time as an airport screener, part-time in a deli, and I have my own little home-based business selling items for couples (and singles) to enhance their love lives.

I am not studying anything currently, but I am a police applicant, in the third stage (there are 8 stages) of the RCMP application process. I have to get ready for the physical test, went for a jog today (in the snow!) to help get ready.

I guess that you could say that I am an overpaid babysitter. I am a mgr at groc. store and yes there are lots of high school and college kids so therefore I am a babysitter. LOL!

I'm a geologist too! :dizzy:

I am an administrative peon at a college. I want to be a caterer.

i am a trauma nurse working towards a womens health NP to work with planned parenthood.

Im a psychology major and own a data backup business.

I'm currently working towards becoming an accountant! I can't wait til I'm done university and get into the training program.

I'm a hard rock miner. On graves I drive a haul truck. On days I'm a blaster.

Right now I am an assistant for the owner of an inflatables rental company. In a few months I'll be a phlebotomy student.

I'm the "house mother" for a company that designs, manufactures, and installs interior and exterior signage. My actual title is receptionist, but the job is really an office manager type job, which is my back ground. I really am a "house mother" of sorts, it's funny what doesn't happen when I'm not there.

I'm planning on going back to school soon. I'd like a degree in general religious studies, but I'm not sure what kind of job that would translate into. I don't want to become part of the clergy. I have thought about possibly going all the way to a Phd and doing research, but that's a long way off.

Hummmm, sounds a little 'pervie' there, ehhh?;)

Nice Thread....

I am registered nurse, currently in school to be a nurse practitioner specializing in geriatrics...or "old people" lol.

I'm a biologist - my bachelors and masters are in bioinformatics, but now I'm getting my PhD in biochemistry/molecular/cell biology.

Mayness - Do you work in bioinformatics? I've always been interested in the mix of biology/computer science and when I was in school I studied artificial intelligence with is/was the computer science approach of using biological information to influence computer science. I was actually thinking of taking a couple bioinformatics courses because it sounds interesting. I also like manipulating large amounts of data and making sense of it which seems to be a large part of bioinformatics.

I'm a writer. I have several (mostly) useless undergraduate and graduate degrees in various things...

Mayness, my daughter is in her fourth year of grad school (PhD in molecular biology, genetics is her specialty).

I'm a call center manager in a 3000 room resort. I went to school for Hospitality Management.

I have my BS in psychology and am currently a Social Worker. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do my masters in :)

i'm a PA and receptionist and studying floristry.

I don't so much anymore - I'm more focused on the actual lab bench work now. I would definitely recommend taking classes if it sounds interesting to you, it's still a fairly hot field and there's always a lot of interesting new stuff coming out.

I actually took an AI class though the CS department when I was doing my masters, that's a great background to have in bioinformatics, since there's always a need for programs that can "learn" to recognize patterns more effectively. (Although I learned more about robots than I ever needed to know, lol.)

i work in a call center- in collections. it's kind of a bummer job but at least i sometimes get to help people that really need help and that occasionally makes me feel less horrible about what i do.

if i had my choice i'd either teach english or work in a drug or sexual assault counseling program. maybe some day i'll be able to afford to go to school so i can have a career - in the meantime it's just a job for me.

I have a B.S in Family & Child Studies. I am a housewife and hopefully future stay at home mom. If I ever go back to school (which I do not foresee in the next 25 years), I will go for a Masters in Nurse Midwifery with the goal of attending home births.
