What does every one do for a living?

[DarkEros07]

I work as a Direct Support Staff @ a Group Home from MR (mentally retarted which i hate saying) Adults. It's a crap job but It pays my bills & I love my guys! I'm also a Certified Nursing Assistant that isnt currently certified. Trying to get that back to go back to my old people in the nursing homes! Yay!

I'm a cop in a little town in Indiana.

Kudos to you, JamieH, for going to school for your criminal justice degree. It's an incredible job field and has any number of opportunities for specializing, if you care to. It's been the hardest and equally the most rewarding job (career, I guess) that I've ever worked.

Pretty cool to see/hear the variety of jobs/careers people have and a shared interest/love of reptiles in common.

I suppose I can actually answer this question now. I'm going to be an account manager for a "contact center". I start on the 21st of this month! My first full time job ever!

I was a college student and worked for people with mental disabilities in a house setting. A nice change of pace with my new job I think.

Slitherin, Luscious, my hat's off to both of you. That job field take a very special kind of person to work with people with those diagnoses.

Congratulations on landing that job, Slitherin, hope it's everything you want it to be and it works out well for you!

Thank you very much! I'm super excited to start the new job and you are so right about it taking a special kind of person! That was one of the hardest jobs ever and I did it for 2.5 years while working on my BA. I'm totally burnt out and happy to move on to a desk job!

I actually started my school 'career' in criminal justice, but switched to Sociology to be more diverse and I enjoyed the research part. My original plan out of college was to get a job as a social worker in the prison system, but Iowa is on a hiring freeze in many, if not all departments I put in 160+ apps and finally landed this job and I'm happy as a peach.

I've been in the Air Force for just about 12 years. Currently working in Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station in Co Springs. I keep the Stargate clean...

I'm going to be an account manager for a "contact center".

Congrats!

I am an emergency services dispatcher for my city... AKA I answer 911 calls and dispatch fire/police/medical to those who request it ...

That's awesome, Slitherin! And IOWA, really?! Heck yeah! My wife was born and raised there and still has family in the Cedar Rapids, Shell Rock, Waverly areas.

I hear ya' on the hiring freeze. Sucks. I was hoping to make a move out there to the State Highway Patrol or a small town agency but it isn't looking good for the present time. I loved my sociology classes in college. Those and anthropology...hahahaha! I'm such a nerd, lol!

And Cheyenne Mountain...that's NORAD territory, isn't it? Thank you very much for your service, whatever you do. Have the utmost respect for service personnel and I very much appreciate what you all do.

OHMIGAWD!!!! I love anthropology, too!!! And most people don't so that's why I'm so excited!!

Lol, yep, Iowa I'll admit it, I love Iowa, other than the cold... The hiring freeze totally screwed me over. I had the chance to chat with the guy that heads Iowa Corrections and he pretty much told me I had a job when I graduated...then the hiring freeze happened...

You know...I just saw a posting for State Patrol in Iowa not long ago. I told Blake, my fiance, about it and he just looked at me like I was nuts, lol. He didn't really like the idea of me working in a prison either. He worries too much I think he was really stressed for the first year of our relationship because I was working in a locked unit of juvenile sex offenders That was my favorite job!

You know, as a cop, I've sampled some of the finest gourmet pastries around, lmao! Hahahahahaha!

oh god, you kill me!

I'm a CNA in a long term care facility (aka a nursing home) I'm hoping to get hired into a hospital where I can do more stuff, and further my career in the medical field. I want to eventually get my RN.

I commend you for your hard work. CNA work is no doubt the hardest job on the planet. I worked as a home heath aide in a dementia unit and it was horribly hard work emotionally and physically. I hope you get to your dream of being an RN. I know you can do it! My mom was prego with me at 17, got her GED, and now she's an RN making good money. It's hard work and not an easy path, but if she can do it, you can do it! Good luck

Although, it sounds like you might be following a different passion, good luck with whatever you choose!
