Just for fun! What do you all do for a job? How long have you been doing your job? Are you happy with where you are at, or looking to move into something else eventually?
I am a student, teach 1st grade (only the English part, class is split) , and work in retail...
Next May I graduate and will hopefully be teaching full time. I am debating on staying in retail for a little while because of the discounts (and everyone knows discounts are amazing while planning a wedding!)
I produce tv commercials and music videos. I'm happy with where I'm at but, would eventually like to do something else once I start having kids. Production work is way too stressful and the long hours don't help either. I've been with the same company for four years.
I am an RN....I just started my job.....yesterday! I haven't had any meltdowns yet....but I think I might soon. The responsbility of my job is just starting to hit me.
I am a "Financial Services Representative" at a bank. I basically open accounts, originate non-mortgate loans, general customer service. I've been doing it for about 5 months. I love it. I'd eventually like to get into recruiting, but for the bank.
Ms iPhone- My uncle produced in Hollywood for several years and always told me about how stressful it was. He now is doing his own thing teaching film at a university, because he didn't like all of the politics and everything involved with it. But it really sounds like an amazing job if you can handle the stress!
lrwedd- my FMIL is a RN, working at children's hospital with the babies that are in bad condition. It is an amazing job, and I totally wish I was smart enough (in math and science) to do something like that! Good luck with your new job!!!!!
I am a graphic designer and have been with my company for 6 years. I have a good job that treats their employees well and couldn't ask for more in this economy. But like all jobs, it gets old sometimes. Like I said though, I can't complain.
I'm a wedding photographer. Been doing it full time for over 3 years now. Honestly, my job is awesome! I love it and my clients! When I have a family (in a few years) I want to scale down the number of weddings I do and focus more on portrait work. That's what I love the most and it's easier to do a 2 hr portrait session while nursing etc. than a 10 hr wedding :-) Then I can also reclaim weekends with the FH who works during the week :-) But like I said, that's a few years off and I'd only scale back the number I accept :-)
I underwrite Management Liability for a large Insurance company. I've been doing it for 3 months, but prior to this I was a Business Development Manager for a different insurance company for 3 years and prior to that I was doing exactly what I'm doing right now at my first job for a few years :)
Im a BSA/Compliance Specialist for a Banks corporate office.
been here about 9 months and LOVE It but I eventually am going
back to school to become a teacher :)
I am a student. I have been in school since I was four (almost 20 years) lol. But I in a few years I will be a lawyer. I am also starting up my Mary Kay business.
I'm head of the sales department for a Hilton property. I currently coordinate all events as well while we train a new employee.
I have a degree in culinary arts, so it sort of ties in. I am taking my CMP after the wedding, so hopefully that'll give me some more opportunities.
Being awesome.
Ok, not really. I'm a student, and then I do freelance stuff. Exciting.
I have a B.S. in Advertising.
I do advertising, web management, tv commercial production, photography, etc. for a very small family-owned chain of retail stores.
One day, I want to be my own boss. FI and I are talking about purchasing some greenhouses and growing tomatoes over the winter. We have a large market for it, but no suppliers.
We'll see........ :)
I am a student and work full time for a chiropractor
I was in equity research for about 4 years which is one of those Wall St type jobs where you look at the financials of companies and then tell clients which ones to invest in. Stressful and not fulfiling but a great experience.
I am currently back in school pursuing a career in nursing with the goal of becoming a nurse practitioner.
How many others bees out there are on 2nd and 3rd careers?
I'm an Admin Assistant for the "Distribution Planning" department at a large electricitiy company.
Full-time student for another two months. After that it's off to the races with me. Right now I'm looking for internships, freelance work, and other work experience while I write a book. :)
I was a retail Buyer for 4 yrs - then I flipped sides of the industry and now I'm on the wholesale sales side - which I have been doing for the past 4 years. Currently I manage the US/Intl Sales of a fragrance company. I love it - I have been in the bath/body home gift industry for about 8 years and its the most fun. Product product and more product 
Hairstylist by day, musician by night. Although not much music in the past year, but the FI and I are moving to Seattle in November to follow our dream to write/play music full time!
student and I work in Archives, sorting old senatorial constituent mail. Riveting, I know. ;)
When I graduate, I'll probably be doing some sort of office work.
I have been teaching HS English for 5 years.

@lrwedd - I'll be an RN in two months, eeeeeeeek! I am starting my final preceptorship soon. I know what you mean about responsibility...good luck with your first job!
I'm a manufacturing engineer, working in production for a large food producer. My work spans everything from helping with the high level production decisions (can we afford to take on this new customer?) down to the detailed production operations (what are the exact steps to follow to produce this product?).
I've been working with the company for about 3 years now and I still enjoy it a lot. It's very fast paced and I can see my work making a difference. Plus I get free food! :D
For the time being, I work for Victoria's Secret. It's a pretty good job. I work with fun people.
I'm graduating from college next year and after that I will be a high school teacher.
Well, i went to beauty school to be a stylist...since the economy is soo bad now building a book is almost impossible. We bought a house two years ago and I decided I needed to make more money than I was. So I became and Admin Assistant. About a year ago I got laid off :( BOO! I was laid off for 9 months until I found my current job as and Admin Assistant at a virtual charter school and I love it! Great pay, great benefits and awesome people to work with! I hit the jack pot:)
I am in school to be a pharmacist (two more years to go!). In the meantime I am a pharmacy intern. So far I am really happy with my career choice. There are a lot of opportunities available.
Quit the graphic design/ad biz a few years ago and now I'm an art store/teacher supply/book store manager. Hours are infinitely better and my stress levels went way down! Yey for loving my job again!
I'm a clinical data coordinator, managing data for Cystic Fibrosis clinical trials. I've been doing this for 6 months, previously I worked at a drug biotech and was in the hospital twice last year for stress related ulcers! I like my job now, great work/life balance. :)
I'm in the midst of a career change (exciting and scary at the same time!). I am ABD in French, and due to a confluence of events, I decided to leave my program and am pursuing a license in Massage Therapy. I love it! It is a total 180 for me in terms of the career path I have taken so far, and I think my parents may have been a little disappointed when I told them I was leaving my PhD, but I haven't been this happy in ages! I will graduate in June and am looking forward to it!
I'm an "associate" aka a professional personal assistant to a huge asshole. It's been 9 months but I start my NEW job as a marketing admin assist for a very large property group on Mon!!!
i'm finishing my fellowship in hematology/oncology in a year and a half and will then have to find a real job! i have been training for eight years already....
I help discover new antibiotics for drug resistant bacteria for a biotech company. :OVE that my work helps save people's life :)
I'm an environmental engineer, working for a small consulting firm. I also tutor high school math and science two evenings a week and go to grad school two evenings a week. I graduate this May after five semesters and I'm super excited to get that over with. After the wedding I might stop tutoring but I really love my students and it covers the dry spells at work.
I'm a materials engineer, doing research and development for aerospace grade materials like titanium, aluminum, and proprietary blends that are fancy and stuff.
I spend a lot of my days bored, doing paperwork, and entering things into online systems. I also do a lot of project management/coordinating type stuff like ordering tests and analyzing results.
I just applied this weekend to a radiation therapy second bachelors degree program. I don't like my job enough to stay here forever, but it truly helped me figure out what I want most in life.
Fourth grade teacher here :) I've taught for 6 years and although it can be high stress, it is also incredibly rewarding...I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else!
I'm a children's librarian at a crazy busy public library branch. I love the librarian profession, I love my co-workers AND boss (lucky me!), and I love the kids in this neighborhood.
I hate the bureaucracy, having to be nice to mean crazy people, and the current administration that keeps cutting staff and giving us longer hours.
At some point I want to quit - have been looking at jobs but I'm not really qualified to do much else, and I don't want to take a big pay cut to start all over again. I also want to write books, but am so tired and drained all the time from serving the public 5-6 hours a day and shelving books 1-2 hrs/day.
Im a Conference Services Manager at a hotel, I coordinate the planning for Corporate meetings and events. I also oversee high profile guests who come to the hotel. I've been at the hotel for 6 years...I love my job!
