MEGA: What types of jobs do BLers have?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Paralegal for an 8 attorney Plaintiff's firm. I will hopefully be starting law school soon. I also am a street level pharmaceutical sales rep of sorts...
 
I'm currently an undergrad student, about to start my senior year (so I guess "unemployed jackass" would be the technically correct answer :D). I'll probably end up matriculating to a mediocre Ph.D program after college (my grades are solid, but not Harvard-worthy ya dig?) and then try to find some sort of job in research. I'm not really picky, I just want to be able to keep learning organic/medicinal chemistry every day because I love it and have an aptitude for it.
 
What was the original title, I'm curious to know...

Also, I'm a recent college grad...starting with part-time work as a customer service representative. Hopefully I'll be able to substitute teach for the local schools starting in the fall - as that would look good on my resume for the type of longer-term work I'm looking to do.
 
retired from skilled labor - only volunteer work now for this geezer.
stuck with my union though thick and thin so now i draw social security and 2 small private pensions.
medical is free as i get the crappy care that all veterans receiving (except those that have service connected disabilities) .
carcass is not in the best of shape due to working so fucking hard in the mills, shipyards and the very largest machine shops. but, i manage to fell, buck, split and stack 5 or 6 cords of firewood per season.
 
labor sucks, there's no way around it. i mean the "peons" like helpers,board toaters etc.
I'm dong landscaping this hotass summer, sucks being out in the blaring heat. but its good. get paid cash daily, so every morning i got a paycheck coming at the end of the day :).

I am going back to school this Fall to do what I love doing best.
 
I'm an aircraft mechanic and I would like to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. It's not too bad but its not something I want to do forever. There are few opportunities for advancement and so many ridiculous bullshit rules from the government and the company(the flight safety rules are fine, there is just a lot of other unnecessary shit)

I know a couple people who did landscaping for the summer and they got in the best shape they had ever been. Not to mention they got an awesome tan. :P

What are you going back to school for? Just curious. I can't wait to be done with school--When I graduate this program, I'll have been in college for five years (over the course of six years) and have earned two Associates. 8(

Dude, I remember reading in elementary school that that's basically the most prestigious and highest paid blue collar job there is, and has a union that would make the Teamsters bow down. You SURE you want to give it up?
 
Friend showed me how to make money in tax liens, I invested, saved and don't have any health insurance. I mostly sit around all day on the computer (not earning money) . . . hope to sell everything and get outta Babylon, write a screenplay.
