Employed or not? What type of employement?

Post Reply New Topic

I work as a paraprofessional. I work with non-verbal students. I'm going to college to become a speech-language pathologist.

I am unaware of my IQ.

High school teacher at an inner city school. IQ 148.

which "inner city?"

My former company terminated my employment on Monday 2/2/2015. I am looking for a position as an accountant. No idea what my IQ is. Maybe around 130/140?

I am not employed currently on SSI, I have not really held employment in the past. I did attempt college, but dropped out since I couldn't cope with the stress...even when I tried just taking a couple courses at a time at the community college. So currently working on mental health issues and just generally attempting to figure life out, I would prefer not to have to rely on SSI for the rest of my life but not sure how much things will improve.

Employed at a multinational oil & gas E&P as a financial analyst. Last IQ test was 7 years ago, 146.

Employed. Graphic and Web Design.

IQ tests were 132 and 138. (I guess it depends on how long they are before I zone out)

I'm employed as a graphic designer at a web development firm. I would prefer to work from home, but I guess it keeps me on track and away from the temptations of going to sleep, browsing the web, and wasting time.

I tend to get bored with jobs after a period of time and get the strong urge to quit and do something else. Does anyone else get that way?

I've worked at several places, but I've only had 2 places where I've worked longer than a year. Restaurant, cashier, and phone rep jobs I tend to quit after my limit is reached. I find it is usually too stressful and I have a hard time dealing with people - co-workers, bosses, customers.. all of them.

I have no idea what my IQ is but when I was in college my GPA was usually around 3.9 or so.. that is until I became too overwhelmed then my grades went down and I ended up dropping out with the intention of going back.. but it doesn't look like I will any time soon. Meh.. who needs a piece of paper to get a job.. what employers seem to want is experience and people who know what they're doing - which is how I got my current job... but I wish I was paid more.

accounting student and work in retail

I deliver pizzas right now but I'm educated in the field of Educational Psychology. My IQ is around 130, but if I take a test that tests puzzles and spatial stuff then it's like 160. If it's more language based, then my IQ is lower. Anyway, I have had a spotty job history spanning more than 2 decades. I even spent 3 years in the U.S. Army and that was high stress!! I had many meltdowns and got written up often. Most jobs I did not get along with people too well. However, I seem to get along well at my current job even though it's a food service min/subminimum wage job. It gives me purpose. I want to go back to college and learn web design. I think that'd be really rewarding.

It was interesting reading everyone's jobs.

I'm currently the sous chef at a restaurant, but I've been a lot of things over the years; retail clerk, delivery driver, software tester, gunsmith, IT tech, welder, machinist, salesman, bartender, probably a few other things I can't remember at the moment.

My IQ is high.

I am unemployed because I have no objective value, and as an Aspie I can't tickle the little social parts of the human brain that causes it to release chemicals and trick people into liking you.
