So what do you guys/gals do for a living, or want to do, or currently in the process of?
For the moment I am working at the second largest lumbermill in Ontario, but I hope to be going to school next year for Architecture, at the University of Waterloo.

So..how about it? :)

What's your actual rate and rank, Christmas? :|

I am currently majoring in History at a small community college in the state until I earn my associate's degree. After which, I will transfer to an undecided university of my choice and continue majoring in History, perhaps going after some sort of teaching credential. I might get a job sometime soon and make myself somewhat useful.

Erm I work part-time on the make-up aisle of Superdrug (so glamourous). It's just for the money really, I've just finished my A levels and am waiting to find out if I got the grades to go to uni in September to do a joint honours in English Literature and French.

I'm not optimistic though :(

I've been a part-time retail assistant for DW Sports (formerly JJB) for well over a year. I'm trained on footwear, on the till and on the shopfloor.

However I'm awaiting my A Level results, and, grades depending, I'll be packing up and leaving Merseyside for Yorkshire to study Sociology and Criminology at the University of York. There's talks of transferring me to a DWSports nearby.

I'm a student in my final year of university, studying to become a social worker. I hope to work with youth and adolescents in a counselling role, so perhaps a school counsellor or maybe as a case worker for some sort of agency that deals with youth disadvantage, like a teen-focused community centre.

Right now I’m doing a field placement at a community centre. It’s on the grounds of a primary school but not actually part of school, so most of my clients are parents and I’m enjoying that too, so when I graduate I’ll probably just go where ever the jobs are, I’m not picky. I just want to help people (and make money xD).

As I am so often reminded,

I am a Marine by profession. A Marine is a warrior.
I am a 6113 by trade. A 6113 is a CH53 helicopter mechanic.
This has pretty much been inscribed/brainwashed into me since day one. I must be ready for battle at any time and all that. Right...

But then again if this ever happens (http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2010/06/marine_aviation_061410w/) when I am likely to go to Afghanistan next year. Maybe I can try out my profession. But lets hope not.

I attend uni for English Education 5 - 12, and I do a middle school/high school TA with that.

I have three paying jobs throughout the year. I work at a deli and make sandwiches for hours on end, I am a writing tutor with my own cute little office where college students come to me for editing/revision and writing help, and I am a TA at a summer program for autistic children.

So two of my current jobs are actually related with my major in uni.

I also work with survivors of domestic violence and IPV, specifically with teens and young adults (and their families, of course), since the circumstances and laws surrounding youths and adolescents is completely different from that of an established adult.

Sometimes I have time to say hello to my husband and run a raid in WoW....sometimes.

Last year I worked as a Game Master for Ndoors Interactive. That job is an overrated dream job for MMO players. You basically just do the dirty and tedious work such as Customer Support, In-game patrolling, Viral Marketing and Quality Assurance. Pay isn't good too.

Then I worked as an online English tutor for Korean kids. Tedious too but pays better.

Right now I'm preparing to take over my father's business of selling auto and chainsaw parts once he retires. I grow tired of employment.

I guess having a job that doesn't take up all of my day, and leaves me free to do whatever it is I do, would be ideal. I've had jobs that felt suffocating, and even when I wasn't working I still felt trapped. Never again.
