What is your profession/career/occupation/job?

Post Reply New Topic

I do light engineering work now, but I'm going back to school (on Tuesday, actually) for forensic sciences.

Lets see

I worked 9 years at a resteraunt where I believe they kept me around to be people's verbal punchingbag. I quit five times but they always begged for me to comeback but by the fifth time I had enough. I did not want to be in my thirties working in a resteraunt without medical insurance,

I worked 9 years in a machine shop even though I have no machanical aptitude and I get nervous working around large loud machinery. The only reason they hired me is that the metal finisher quit without notice and I suprised them with how good I was at metal polishing. They started getting fewer and fewer jobs where the part needed polishing to the point I get a polishing job everyother week, Since they know I cannot operate the CNC lathes they had no more work for me so they laid me off. I have been laid off since October. I put out 46 resumes and got at least two interviews where I believe I made the interviewer nervous.

July 6 I will be going for training in medical billing. If this does not work out for me I am screwed. I never had a job that I interviewed for.

i have been tattooing for the last twelve years. relocating a couple thousand miles away in three weeks and going to go back to cooking for awhile.

Auditor. (Not the financial kind so much, but operations.)

Before that I was an assistant manager in retail for that company. The job had its good points, but also led to a lot of stress and tears. (Fairly complicated retail, one that requires a lot of specialized knowledge.)

90 days into the new job, and hardly any worries, and no tears. Enough activity to keep me busy and travel to keep me from getting bored, and the right level of "people" interaction...I don't have to deal with changing customer needs, but I get to talk to managers about policies and such that are all very nicely referenced. Does require some thinking on the feet when a situation comes up that isn't covered, but I don't have that constant feeling of "just barely treading water" anymore.

Don't have a job and never really had a job for more than 3 months. Will be going to school in the winter, hopefully to continue on with my accounting.

gee, didn't lonnie donnigan sing a song called "my old man's a dustman"? not saying your old or anything like that. just a stream-of-consciousness ramble on my part.
anyways... i'm a professional bum.

I'm a professional gigolo, hehe, but seriously I'm a student.

Melbi is a student!

Prototype fabricator. (For a wide range of products like travel mugs, airplane parts, med school props...) Molding, casting, cutting, painting, sanding, assembling, etc. :3

Slacker.

I'm on Social Security Disability. I have some physical things besides AS that make it very difficult for me to find employment. I put in applications when I think of places but I'm lucky if I get an interview. The unemployment rate is rising fast here due to lots of shrimpers & offshore works being out of work cuz of the oil spill. I got an email yesterday saying the custodial position I applied for at the hospital was filled. I didn't even get an interview & I have over 25 months of experience.

The world's oldest profession.

Undertaker.

Dustman. I'm part of a litter crew, that cleans parking lots, picking up litter. I love my job.

I have the utmost respect for these people perhaps some one can give me the direct quote something along the lines of CEO takes a day off nobody notices/cares cleaner takes the day off and their chaos OR words to that effect I've tried to track it down I simply can't locate it...


I wouldn't mind a job like that I'm financially set up (own my own home outright ) and my AS obsessions are quite modest such as gaming, beer, bicycles so money is of of no concern to me . Even so I'd much prefer to be driving those large motorised dust sweeper machines .

Also if I was that way inclined I'd be seriously turned on by dust women often a cute Filipino girl broom in one hand dustpan in the other, those cute little uniforms bits jiggling all over the place, very sexy .

Aussie, you do know this website has a quote feature to it, right?

Musician/music teacher.

Studying music at the postgrad level.

What kind of music do you teach? Instrument? Is it Public school, or private lessons?

I would love to study music at the postgrad level.

Sorry, just stumbled on one of my interests, there.
