Your (current or future) Career/Job

[PinkieShadow 4,053]

I'm a senior electronic engineer, working with electronics in a (well can't tell it's classified) but to me it's boring when you done this for years. I have other dreams.... I run an equine sanctuary on my free time, and I love animals. I can't live on this so I need a well payed work to protect and serve my dream..... to help horses, donkeys and zebras. I really wish I could do this full time, but i can't without money.

When I was young, technical things was my goal and dream. Later on I found it just degrading my mind and my physical life, I searched for the nature and started to walk in the forrest. I loved it! Nature was so much more than the technical world to me. One thing lead to the other and finally I found my way to the horses. I quickly found that people dealing with horses mostly did this to proove to others how good they where, and wanted to show others their skills... without caring for the horses at all. And a long storry short, I wanted to help horses in trouble with the human world.

I've been studying psychology for the past few years and I plan on becoming a counselor one day after I finish graduate school. At the moment I'm working a fast food job just to make some money during the summer.

[Dreambiscuit 8,022]

I’ve had the same job for almost five years. It’s based in tourism and isn’t a permanent gig. Sooner than later I’m going to have to change to a related position behind the scenes or in a supporting role to the younger cast members working in the spotlight.

I'm currently employed at my local movie theater, but I'm sure that's the only job I'm ever gonna have.

[Moondrop 💧 743]

I'm working in a warehouse, looking over that all items get out in time and order. Worked at a customer service bureau for four years before that and always wanted to get into logistics. Boy am I glad to not work with customers anymore! 

(I may be good at drawing but never got the opportunity or had the money to study something in that field. I left the house with 18 and had to make money right away) 

[KatonRyu 1,026]

I'm a programmer now, but I hope to be able to make a living as a writer one day.

[TBD 17,228]

Working as a salesperson for appliances or whatever my company wants me to promote. As for my other job, I work as a CNA at the hospital. I hope to become a medical forensics nurse practitioner.

 

[IronM17 5,145]

I am a student for geology on the University in Bonn. Besides this, I currently work for a shoe creation company in my neighbourvillage in the warehous (but only for a few weeks). My future career is hopefully a job as a geologist in an institute or a geological engineering company.

[The Historian 515]

I'm working in IT, which is what I've wanted to do since I was 15. For a while, I was in the general tech support side of things but I'm trying to work my way back into software development. Even if I don't get specifically to that, I have enough knowledge to be a general IT specialist or a system administrator. I gave myself options.

I currently work doing some acting for Japanese TV and movies, usually small stuff but plenty of saigen dramas. I also do some commercial print modeling for the same agencies here in Tokyo. Lots of fun and got me interested in pursuing it when I leave Japan. Problem is it is inconsistent and it’s a lot of waiting around for a 10 second shot or so. Also, I get paid 2 months after a shoot which sucks.

[Stardust 640]

Network software development

[Ixrec 86]

Financial software development. Will probably be doing this forever, since everything else I like doing I like much more as a hobby than a job.

[Magpie 620]

Currently I do Software Quality Assurance. People say I "play video games for a living" but it'a not really playing them.

I’m an aircraft refueler.   I dunno what I wanna do in the future.  Will probably just keep doing this. 

[Yakamaru 3,073]

I work in a warehouse. I drive forklifts for a living. Honk honk, or I will poke your ankles with the forks. :V

Oh no haha.  It’s all done on the ground.

Maaan. You got my hopes up. >:

How is refueling aircraft anyway? Must take ages considering the huge fuel tanks on those big birds, especially the 737.

Would be amazing to see the Antonov AN-225 up close. The sheer size of it in pictures and the like doesn't do it justice to be honest.

For me it’s not too bad. I mainly work around private jets and such.  My airport isn’t big so we don’t see 737s a whole lot. 
 

When we do they can take a lot but doesn’t take as long as you’d think.  We just connect a hose to a port on the plane, and hold a button to pump the fuel in.

Would be awesome if you flew a plane and refueled aircraft while in the air. That'd be dope.

Hah, I know what it is, quite spectacular 

[Theautisticrebel 290]

I want to be an artist, animator, or youtuber when I'm older.

[Envy 5,998]

I currently work in data entry. I have for a while now. Before that I was a grocery stocker.

I have no career, which is stressing me out for many, many reasons. My will to move, my will to have a child, not having a career means both of those will be incredibly difficult to manage.

When I first posted here eleven years ago I still was in my want to be a band director stage. But that didn't work out, I'm not a good fit, as much as I wanted to be.

Musicology was my next step and it is much more of a good fit, as I have always adored music history enough to listen to the weird ancient music that hardly anyone else listens to and would read music history textbooks for fun. I'm also strong at academic writing. People at my former university thought I was so "smart" because of how I was in the music history classes... But is that true? Am I smart enough to do that degree? Smart isn't the right word here, I know that, but I can't think of a better one. I knew how to study for exams, I knew how to pick out pieces when played out loud for us in exams, but when it comes to the deeper questions that I was supposed to figure out for myself, I struggled. I think that, as opposed to it being a matter of smartness, it's more my proficiency at music as a whole that is holding me back because I am a poor performer, and my aural skills are poor as well. Those problems concern me about going further down that path to grad school, and this is really sad, I know. Getting cold feet here toward the end. But just think, do you want a music history professor who lacks so many music skills? Does that even make sense?

Other things are going through my mind... Law? I'm so passionate about the law in my country and am incredibly depressed with how things are. I want to make a difference, I want to fight the church's seeping into government and protect the rights and freedoms of minorities - a thing I have been extremely passionate about since I was a child. But when getting down to brass tacks, would I be a good fit? Would I be proficient? A failure in a case that is on my shoulders would destroy me mentally for the rest of my life.

I don't know, you all... I don't know what to do... But I have to get this figured out fast. I'm already well past college age now... This isn't how I saw my life going. *sigh*

Kind of a "John Lennon answer": I just want to be happy.

I still work backstage at Disney but I'm strongly considering semi-retirement so I can take time to raise my family.
