Title: Careers/Part-Time Jobs
Post by: Firey on 2012 Sep 05, 04:06:21
There are lotsa careers, more careers, more choices.
Law, medicine, business/economics, politics, science, media production, journalism, engineering, etc.
and then part-time jobs....like McDonald's or Burger King.

My older brother works for McDonald's and some kebab shop.
My oldest brother studies law.
My dad works as a lawyer and my mom works as a JP in law (Justice in Peace).
I plan on studying law and becoming a lawyer *squee*

Anyway...how about you ponies?

My parents are both lawyers (though my mom only works part-time as one now, she also creates jewelry)

My older sister is an occupational therapist.  Apparently having a high-functioning autistic brother inspired her career choice :)

Right now my only job is making my comic strip for the school paper, though I'm already working on my career as a children's fiction author.

I regret not getting more into that in school, now that I know how awesome programming is.  Too bad i'm in too deep in my current career or i'd go through college for that right now :)

Full time student. I'll be applying for a job after exams are done. Unfortunately the places I do want to work I'm so short I can't reach the counters. (like Jay Jays, for those of you who are Australian.)
Anyways, I'm hoping to go into law after I finish school and uni.

I'm an Accountant at my mom's office. Boring, but the only thing I know how to do. :P
I also rang bells for the Salvation Army last Christmas. And if schedule dictates, I wanna do it again.

I'm not sure what kind of career I want yet. I originally wanted a Computer Technician Career but I might focus on computer networking instead as the need for technicians is on the decline for various reasons. I do love fixing computers though and maintaining routers and networks I used to enjoy learning how to program but I don't seem to have the will to learn about programming applications and games anymore.

Whenever we had crappy dial up I constantly tweaked my PC settings and the way it handled networks to get the most out of it, since at the time I liked playing a few online games that were a bit action oriented and adjusting MTU and Nagle's algorithm and various other settings sometimes helped depending on the games design and if it used UDP or TCP/IP.

Not 100 % sure, but probably a psychologist, or a social worker. Anything that let me help pepole in the only way i know and can do, talking, hearing and understanding.
I'm still young tho enough i guess, so if i ever want to study/work on something else, it's not too late.

HVAC

Oddly Because of my schooling I could be considered a master (usually a 30 year trial is accomplished before being considered one) and Im only 19 :3 I am pretty much qualified to work on Nuclear reactors... even though replacing anything on one  takes about 20 hours. even a single wire needs A LOT of approvals from 2 different people of different respects. I am happy I really thought ahead in my career choice.

I'm a Mental Health Technician, been working full-time in my hospital's psych ward for 2 years now. Let me tell you, working in the mental health field really wears at your own sanity, after the first year I had to be put on Paxil. It doesn't help that we get paid a whopping 8 dollars an hour, especially considering we have to deal with patients who are physically combative, morbidly obese and need to be lifted and bathed, or incontinent and have to be cleaned.

Comically enough, my parents both work at the same hospital. My mom's the Night Supervisor and my step-dad's the Head of Houskeeping.

Sad as it may be... going throughout the whole course of my life i have had only a few past part-time jobs.   One was from when i was around 10 - 12 years old and i used to deliver the papers to ever one on my route,  other then that i only ever else worked in the library.  Though i am planning on returning back to college coming up this January.
