What is your job or what job would you like?

Post Reply New Topic

Just wondering what your job is... and if you don't have a job, what would you like it to be?
Personally I don't have a job but I do have an aspiration at the moment in working as a Radio Presenter/DJ.
I do know of someone with special needs who does so I know it could be possible as long as they don't just ignore my request.

My dad made me work at his office as an manager assistant less than half a year ago to keep me away from my obsessions. I can't do much at work though, besides watching over my senile grandmother and playing computer games office work itself isn't for me. I have no organization, can't keep up with his orders, telephone calls, and the noise. Dad is a subcontractor, specifically a fabricator for stone slabs I can walk down the street and still hear his saws cutting through stone.

I am a marine animal keeper and tour guide at an aquarium so I get to talk about and play with sharks and other marine creatures all day. In my spare time I volunteer for a marine conservation group. I am surrounded by scientific people so I get along with my workmates. I love my job so much.

I work in a door to door job that is sort of like a salesman job.

My ideal job would be in wildlife biology, archeology, or paleontology.

However, I majored in English so I'm considering going back to get my Masters, to be a collage teacher.

You might wonder why I majored in English if I am attracted to those other fields, and that is because I was trying to finish school quickly and would have had to take extra math classes. I missed a lot of high-school math because I dropped out of high school to avoid bullies. I was put on ritalin, but of course, ritalin didn't really do anything--and it certainly didn't make the bullies disappear. I'm happily able to deal with *******s now, but it's a bit too late for high school. I've always been good at art and writing, so I figured I'd give English a try, and I'm glad I did because it's an excellent source of education. We had to read Darwin along with Shakespeare--and learn to think analytically.


I think my ideal job right now would be as a novel writer, because then I could still work alone, be free to do all the research I want for the stories. So I could write about biology and paleontology in fiction, without actually being a biologist.

My ideal job would be something I can do at home with little or no contact with other people. I'd like to make things and sell them but I haven't been able to figure out what I could make yet.

Sounds like my kind of crowd Zinia, lol.

I am an engineer and love it. I dream up things and watch other people bring my dreams to life, People rarely care that I am a little strange because my ideas make the clients happy and gives paychecks to the workers. My workers usually pick a translator / handler to talk to me, but they all like me.

I work fixing electronics and it is what I wanted and love to do.

Right now I'm an unemployed college student in a computer course.

However, I was really close to trying a technical school for robotics. I think I would still find that interesting as a job.

I want to contol drones but don't know where to sign up for the testing.

I thank my lucky stars every day ... I'm self employed and work from home, playing with horses all day. When I'm not doing that practice being an Author.

I'm currently working for a Taxi Company, fixing the radios and equipment, as well as showing new drivers how to use the system.

This involves a lot of talking to people, which is my Achilles Heel. I sometimes blame my communication problems on the fact that most drivers are foreign, and therefore I have some trouble understanding their accents.

To make up for my conversational shortcomings, I go above and beyond my job role to make sure the Managers know that I am a worthy asset to the company. For example, I have taken initiative and produced a booklet to hand to new drivers, explaining how to use the sytem, the rules and regulations etc. and also suggested/designed a new Uniform which would make the company look more proffessional. Both ideas were lapped up and put into effect straightaway, and my Bosses were very happy with my work, giving me more responsibilities within the company.

The downside to this is that, due to what I can only imagine is jealousy from my peers, I am now even more excluded from the working group.

All in all, I like my job - I just hope I can learn to fit in socially with my peers. Also, I will soon be tasked with taking regular customer calls, which I am dreading to be honest.

Hopefully one day I will have my lucky break and become a major film director! Maybe I could make a film/documentary to raise awareness about Aspergers? Hmm.. watch this space
