What is your Job?

Post Reply New Topic

For the past 6 years I've worked for a major weapons manufacturer where I've been in the handcuff department. Recently got a promotion to Team Leader where it is my job to set up machines (possibly doing minor repairs), assign people to there work, take care of rework, solve production flow problems, and pitch in where needed. Everything but the social stuff is easy but I'm working on that.

In the past I've gone from job to job which possitions including but not limited to (in no perticular order)

Dishwasher, Fastfood Cashier (ended up there reather then a cook although I hate dealing with people), Kitchenware Assembler (slow cookers), Retail Electronics Salesman, Pharmacy Tech, "Reader" (hard to explain), Worked in the Mail room for a newspaper briefly, Grosery Store Stocker/Clerk, And I've done some of that temp work thats been mentioned.

I pursued collage at one point looking into a Computer Science degree (with a smattering of pholosiphy classes for fun) but didn't finish, normally tell people because I ran out of money. But to be honest that isn't really true, more to the point I think It's was as much fear of success and/or rejection then anything else.

I have an interest in patterns, which leads to mathmatics which lead to the programing. There is another offshoot of that however. That would be Role Playing Games of the table top verity (like what Dungeons and Dragons is) Of and one for the last 10 years I've been working on a system of my own, always talked about self-publishing it but never done anything. I've recently made myself a promise that I would try it. Looking at 2 years to get playtesting, artwork and layout done. I've been told that it's good and have had people who would reather play it then comercial products. Worth a try anyhow... right?

Have typed in enough circles for now.

i am a scientist working at a university, somewhat temporary position. design experiments, analyze the data. typically it requires all kind of things because sometimes i need to make parts of the equipment, do a programming and stuff. i loooove it but need to transfer to a permanent position with the same description and than i would be perfectly happy .

I supervise nurse's aides who work with mentally ret*d adults in a state institution. I love my job. I like making a difference in the lives of people who don't have much.

I have done so many jobs, started in the construction industry.
then I joined the Royal Air Force, but was medically discharged (Diabetes), I then turned my hobby (computers) into a career and this lead to me becoming a data analyst in the oil industry. after several years I developed an interest in the new advances in the digital age in photography, this then become my obsession and 2 years later I was working as a photographic editor and have been doing this job for 3 years.

civil engineer here, its alright just real slow right now. my dream job would be a professional surfer haha

I work as a copyeditor and proofreader, and I do some writing in connection with those jobs. I'm also a standardized patient at a medical school. In training classes and exams, I play the part of a patient.

Currently the Taco maker at Taco Bell

Since I've been doing the deathly shift ALONE for the past 6 months (This also includes the lunch rush and a 6 day workweek.) I am quitting, and praying I get accepted into the Geeksquad at best buy, because I'm good with computers and audio systems. It should tide me over until college I hope. And as usual, I always have a good stash of money saved up for the time between.

Maintaining the status quo

I'm currently the assistant manager at Spencer Gifts.

^ Thanks. I got the job because of my management experience at my first job, which I got promoted to at 17. It was against company policy because I wasn't 18, but they got away with it.

I don't think I'd like a job where I wasn't in charge now.

Wow, that's interesting.

I am graduating from college in less than a month, and I am looking for work as a cartographer or urban planner.

I'm a behavior analyst/intern at a facility for adults with MR and other such disabilities. I like it quite a bit, and they already said they'd hire me on the spot immediately when (if ) I graduate, which is kind of nice, although I'm not sure if this is ultimately what I want to do.

I just finished secondary school and am still unaware as to whether I want to go straight into university next year and pursue a double degree in banking and finance/law or take a year off and spend it working on petroleum or mining firm in East Timor/Western Australia where I could make a small fortune with only brief training and intermittent weeks of employment. This would allow me to pay off any uni fees I'd incur and I would attempt to live my dream of a being a barrister (and managing my own real estate port-folio) for a while (still not sure what area though). If I worked for a corporation and did commercial matters I'd eventually hope to be selected a CLO or better yet a CEO for that company. Otherwise I'll practice as a barrister and strive to become the PM (enabling me to fix the mess that Labor has created and will create). It's going to be a busy life, but my recent years in school have taught me that I hate feeling idle and not progressing.
