What Do You Do?
 

Thought it might be fun to see what everyone does for work and/or studies in school. Also, what is your dream job (assuming you don't already have it!!).

I do facilities work for a technology company. I studied astronomy in school, but never graduated. My dream job is to own my own business: a wreck/salvage/scrap yard with a focus on recycling.

I went to school to get on the road to becoming a Chef. I graduated, and am currently unemployed trying to get a job that can help me get the hours I need to finish my apprenticeship.

As for my dream job, either my own restaurant or a catering service.

I am currently unemployed and I do not plan on continuing my education until I know I am financially stable enough to do so. My dream job would be a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Counselor, or Counselor's assistant. Both my parents were addicts while I was a child, but luckily (if you can call it lucky) now they're only alcoholics though my dad does smoke weed every now and then. I'd love to be an abuse counselor because I want to prove to the people that thought I'd fall into that lifestyle because it's what I grew up in. I made mistakes and I've learned from them, and I'm going to show everyone that they can to.

I am a student studying Computer Science. If all goes well I will work at Microsoft or Google. Maybe who knows were life will take me. I'm just keeping my mind open and seeing where the river of life flows.

I don't do anything at the moment. I'd like to make a career out of either cake decorating or pretty much anything Halloween-related, but I'm not really sure how likely that is. Currently, I'm in the process of applying for Disability. I wouldn't mind finding some sort of part-time job if I could in the meantime, but while I'm not giving up on the idea, I know better than to count on it. As for school, I don't plan to go back unless I've got a specific plan in mind. Right now, there are too many things that need to be done and put together first.

I work as a janitor. My dream job would to be a writer for comic books, or something in the videogame industry.

I'm currently unemployed, though my dream job would either be a baker and owning my own business. Or being a professional artist focusing on the anime and manga field. I think that I might end up making sweets, since I have a knack at it >w>

Currently, I am working at McDonald's. I just quit working for Playboy Energy so I needed a job quick. I plan on leaving McDonalds as soon as I can. I honestly hate it even though I really do try to like it. I just can't because of the people that work there. I went to school for communications but got into a car accident so I had to drop out then I started working at a PetSmart and stuck around there for three years and am having a hard time going back to school. I plan on opening my own aquatics/pet fish or reptile store eventually. I also am writing a book and going to write some children books as well.

I hope to write some books, too. I'm not sure I'd want to make a career out of writing (I'm worried it would lose something for me if I did). It's such a bummer the economy is so bad all over the world right now :(. I wish I lived back in the late 1800's where everyone had a chance if they worked hard enough at it.

I do enjoy what I do now, though , and if facilities work ends up being my career for the rest of my life (or at least until I retire), I could be ok with that.

@RuneKitten: If you can land a job w/ Google, you'll have it made! They have manditoruy nap time, daily catored lunches, free on-site daycare, and a gym amongst other things. Their mentality is that if you make work a more enjoyable place to be than home, then the employees will start to spend more time at work. If I knew much of anything about computers, that's probably where I'd try to work.

I think I'd get bored if all I did was write for a living. I write what I want when I want to. I can't be forced to do it. I know I am going to write a book that sells millions though. =P

As for my store, as soon as I can get around 20-30K I am finding somewhere and opening it. I know I can be successful, it's just a matter of getting the supplies I need and the products in place.

I'm a stay-at-home Mom and wife. I'm happy that way. I did want to become a doctor and find a cure for Tourettes Syndrome, which I have a mild case of. I dropped out of school in the 9th grade, got highly bored and my rapist 'fahter' wouldn't teach me unless I learned his way. I play my video games and write some stories in my notebooks. I'm a published poet tho so yay. But I guess I could say that I've got my dream job now. Being a mom and wife. :)

I work at Wal-Mart.

I play video games, draw, crochet and would like to have a career in one of those hobbies as a field.

I study (from home that is) at highschool level, just common socialstudies, history, english, religion and all that stuff. I used to go to a school with lots of courses in the area of international relations. Which I got very intrested in and wanted to work as maybe international mediator or something like that. But I left that dream when I got sick. Now my dream job would be to be an archeologist or some kind of museum work, which I have wanted to be for a long time.

I also work at wal-mart, I run the craft department solo.

My major is in education/business.

I'm a librarian - specifically a Children's Librarian but I help anyone that needs help that comes into my library.

I really love my job and am so glad I took the time to get my masters. Before I got the degree and the librarian job I was a department secretary at a university - the job was OK but not exactly fulfilling.

I've heard Wal-Mart has more people in uniform than the US military does; in theory, Wal-Mart could take over America and there wouldn't mbe much of anything the military could do about it. Kinda scary, but at least if Wal-Mart ran the country, everything would be affordable :)

Sho-Shonojo: Have you ever watched/heard of The Animation Show? If not, you definately should! It's a collection of animated shorts from various animators, including Mike Judge. There are 3 volumes and I think they're the greatest!

i'm still a student, but in my school we are in a year where you get frees (a lesson off) and if a teacher isn't in you get a free.
i want to do something with swimming (because i love it so much) like scuba diving or marinebiology.
but i also love coding and graphics, so if i ever go to university i'd like to take a course it that.

I'm still in high school just now, so I don't really do much to be perfectly honest. In January though I'll be looking for a job, shop work is what I'm hoping for. I wouldn't mind a clothes shop, but anything really.

Then after I finish my last two years in high school, well, one and a half now, Imma head to university. Dundee Of Abertay here I come!
