What job do you have?

If you have a job, what is it? What do you do? Do you like it?

If you don't have a job, what job would you like to have?

I am an English tutor at my college. Basically, I do whatever the professor tells me to do which is usually help students with grammar questions or facilitating group discussions about in-class readings. Though I am often dealing with groups of people, which isn't my favorite thing in the world, I find that I do like my job very much. In a world where I tend to keep to myself and feel useless, it's nice to feel important sometimes.

Im female and an engineer. I spend most of my time doing calculations and designing the lighting and power for buildings. I like the predictable parts of my job which are 80% of the time, these are when Im using the same equations to calculate the same things just in different buildings. Sometimes I have to visit places to survey what lighting they have and I always find this a bit daunting and spend most of the time watching what is going on around me and how people are interacting when I know I should be concentrating on what Im surveying. I think most of the engineers in my office (there's 12 of us) are on the spectrum. Im the only female but I feel I fit in because because Im as socially adept or not as the rest of the people there.

i'm a social worker. working with people is a joy and also a drain. i can handle this job because i get plenty of alone time to recharge. there is no high like the high that comes with helping someone.

I'm a personal trainer. I screen people, put together a exercise routine, coach them through it, motivate them, give nutritional advice, etc.

I like the helping people part but I just can't talk to people properly. I don't have a very energetic personality. I'm just not a people person.

I'm thinking about studying Biomedical Science and getting in to lab work.

line cook, will do only pastry in a few years, would also like to be a chemist.

Tax attorney. I love my job because I basically get paid to solve logic puzzles all day long.

IT guy specializing in test data management and gets to write SQL all day. I'm the guy that writes the tough queries for everyone.

Back when I was still working, I had a job as an industrial maintenance mechanic which I thoroughly enjoyed because I worked alone most of the time and had a fair degree of autonomy.

Computer programmer, sometimes euphemistically called "Software Engineer".

Respite/hab worker... I like it well enough. Pays decently, but I can't get more than part-time hours as I am male. Basically males can't get a female client or a client under the age of 6 because we are all assumed to be perverts. So I can get afternoon-evening hours, but that is only about 4 a day a few times a week. Not enough for full time hours, barely enough for half-time hours. During the summer it should be better because my client will be out of school, as will other potential clients.

Finally got a state job as a mental health specialist.

I've been interning at this place for what seems like forever (on and off since 9/09 as I've been working on masters, I don't even have it yet but...) it finally worked out.

Stoked to have a chance to for the first time make some genuinely OK money for someone who's 29 and has a bachelor's degree and plenty of experience.

Stoked more so to be at a place I'm familiar with and can step in from day one kicking ass with zero learning curve.

I'm a Process Coordinator by the DOJ in Holland.

What i do is figuring out easier ways for people to do there work. I like the figuring out part but not so much the explaining it to people.

Most of the time i work for a couple of weeks on a department and see how they work, then i go to my office and do allot of thinking and calculating. Its not a part of my work to make sure they can do the work with less people but to make it saver and faster.

I work in a call center, which is not great for someone who has lousy social skills and hates talking on the phone, but as long as I stick pretty much to my call script or the scripts I have in my head, it's really okay. My boss has an appreciation for bright, detail-obsessed people, so that helps.

I'm an early retiree and get paid a little over 1k € a month for doing nothing all day. That's the one part of my life that doesn't suck.

I have been a race car fabricator, mechanic, and roughneck on an oilrig.

Currently im starting my own business. Im going to be designing and manufacturing automotive parts. Im also doing some race car fabrication work on the side.

Im also going to school and will be transferring to an aerospace engineering program. < my future work lol
