I'm a full time art student (1st year), training to become a professional illustrator.

I work with teenagers, mostly who have been chucked out of school.

How do you like your work?

(kidding)

I'm applying for a PA program this January. I have my fingers crossed.

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

How do you like your work?

I am in the 12th year of my career. I enjoy it.
My first 2 years of my science degree were ugly. There was no way I was getting into med school which wasn't the plan anyway.
I got lucky with this career.

 

[double ewe]

graduate assistant where i go to school, and a teacher/tutor for Kaplan Test Prep. i enjoy teaching, and do a lot of it right now, but it's not what I want to do when I get out of school

I'm a forester/landscaper/horticulturist/gardener.

I love the woods, plants, nature, botany, herbs, horticulture, hard work and proper hands-on graft. It's my passion, I don't feel like i've earned my money if im just sitting in a chair all day (which I have also done and was horrible).

Unfortunately there is no work in that field here right now, or any more at all really.

 

[herbavore]

Elementary School Art Specialist (that's what they call you when you are an independent contractor that gets no benefits, etc.) and Painter

The first job gives me 80% of my income and the second the other 20%. I love them both. One contributes to the other.

 

[MyDoorsAreOpen]

Perpetual Indulgence and Cyc, physician assistant is a pretty kickass career. I know you won't believe me when I say this, but I envy you guys sometimes.

 

[panic in paradise]

i um, try and help fill peoples time, make them think and laugh, about what ever helps them do that, more well.

retail.... management atleast.

 

[Cyanoide]

I have a quite versatile job profile but I mainly focus on technical support and service administration of our company. It's a desk job, thank god I have a nice office now. At my previous work we were some 200-300 persons working in the same room with just thin "walls" separating us. It was like being in a chicken farm.

 

[Bardeaux]

I occupy various chairs and seats all day, usually in front of a computer or television. I'm a volunteer so I don't get paid, but I don't mind. In January I'll be occupying a classroom for the first time in 5-6 years. Hopefully during this time I'll be doing something a little more fruitful

 

[B1tO'RoughJack]

Just started working as a support worker for someone who's going to Uni, and has cerebral Palsy.

Work about 40 hours a week, and have my accomodation and food paid for, in exchange for my services, with a humble allowance each week too.

I'm also training, as a scratcher, to be a tattooist til I can find an apprenticeship.

 

[Perpetual Indulgence]

I did that! Transition year between undergrad and graduate program.
My dude has muscular dystrophy. He had use of his thumbs to work the wheelchair.
I was his day aide for school and for evening socials. He drank thru a straw and got wasted easily and I had to help him piss (aka pull down his sweatpants and anchor his dick in a plastic handheld urinal...whatever it was called) so it was a laugh.
I recall getting paid $14/hr in 1996 and it felt rich.
