Your occupation/future occupation!

I head off the electronics department at the factory I work at. I am also their second in line machinist. I hold my aws welding certificate, 3yrs auto mechanic school. I'm certified for confined space work, and have my arc flash electrical safety training. I'm certified to work with 14,700 volts ac and below. I'm the project coordinator for machine vision and automation, and also design the systems. I deal with distributor relationships, and get to attend most automation and packaging expos and fairs. I will be enrolling back into school come spring for software development, and hopefully electrical engineering.
Not too shabby for be 23 with no degree lol. I've worked with the systems encountered since I was 18, and worked under some amazing teachers.
The more I get involved with herps, the more I want to design control systems that make out days easier. Networked room diagnostic, with thermal sensors ( or cameras) that relay the current conditions to your smartphone or computer. Just an idea that I'm currently working to design.
I also volunteer for my local fire department and hold many certificates for related fields. Dive license, hazmat, rapid intervention team, repelling, pump operator, and driving cert.

I'm working towards a bachelors degree in Marine & Freshwater Biology. After that I'm hoping to either A) get a masters and go work with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans species-at-risk lab (where I work in the summers and love) OR B) go for a masters and phd and (hopefully) get a job at a university that lets me pursue my own research.

Working on bachelors (pt) for psychology, will continue on for masters. The original goal was to work with military families (so I can smack sense into obnoxious wives) or police families.. However since becoming a zoo keeper i'm pretty content living my childhood dream.

Like the ATM machines? Cool!

After this semesters over ill have all my gen eds outta the way. Still not sure what i wanna do in life though so i may take some time off from school before i choose a major to apply those credits to. :P

I'll be starting my associates in nursing the spring I hope with the possibility of going on to get my bachelors in nursing. There is also a thought of furthering to a nurse practitioner or a physicians assistant. The hospital I work at now will pay for all my schooling if I become a PA. I just have to donate the years I did at school to them after I graduate.

Welllll.... My boyfriend and I currently just breed crested geckos, but we're going to start breeding gargoyle geckos, as well, next year...
But when we are not doing that... I work in an Elementary School, cooking and feeding all the little kiddos in the Cafeteria :)
And, my boyfriend works at a Toyota dealership... He's also in school for IT.
We also have a 5 year old daughter who's in Kindergarten :)

I'm am currently an application developer for JPMorgan. I hope that with more experience I can work on software for high volume trading or maybe bond volatility. And then when I'm old, I'll maybe open a fish/reptile shop. THEN when I'm a grandma I''ll open up a bakery :D. Yep there's my life plan right here. Haha!

Veterinary assistant... and will hopefully change that to DVM in quite a few years!
