    I'm just curious what everyone does for a living.  I've been feeling lately that I really don't even know what I want to do for a living right now.  I was wondering is there are any other bees out there who are getting married but don't have a set career path yet.

    I'm a consultant.  haha.  Very vague, but I have a lot of different types of business experience which lends itself to a lot of different types of projects.

    That said, FI has ZERO career path right now.  He was a cook for 6 years, but recently went back to school and is still figuring out what he wants to do in life.  I think it's great that I get to be on this journey of self-exploration with him... and he thinks it's great I make plenty to pay the bills while he figures it out. ;)

    I think it's okay that you aren't sure.  Better to take some time to figure out what you want, than get boxed into a career path that doesn't make you very happy!

    I am a public information officer at a college. Finding a career path is one of the hardest things in life! Just make sure whatever you do that you love it or else you will get burnt out. They say the best job is the one you would never consider a J-O-B.

    Currently, I'm a grad student. :) I will be a speech-language pathologist in a little over a year. The field is so broad though, and I have no idea which direction I'm going to go in. Some days I think I would be happy working in a school, other days I think I would rather work in a hospital. I guess it depends on how my two internships go and what opportunities come up. I'm super lucky and super thankful though that I am pretty much guaranteed a job. The positives of getting into a high demand healthcare related field!

    I have a bachelor's in nursing and have my RN license, but I sell full-time on eBay. The job market for new grad RNs in Boston is pretty tough, and we're moving to Florida in September so I've stopped looking for now. I've been selling on eBay since I was a sophomore in HS, but ramped it up to full-time once I graduated last year. I love what I do and the flexibility that comes with it :)

    napabridekelsey    August 13, 2011   Live in Corvallis, OR/Wedding in Napa, CA

    I'm an account executive for a Destination Management company based in Napa Valley. I arrange programs for people traveling to the Napa Valley (and now all of California) for groups that are 10 or less. So mostly couples and small groups of couples. 

    I love it! It gets stressful as we get closer to the busy time of year, but no day is the same.

    I also manage all of the social media for the company.
