    I'm majoring in Psychology. I don't know where I'm going with it just yet though.

    I'm currently unemployed after recently quitting/being laid off. (I'm not exactly sure what happened.)

    I put in 5 applications today.

    As far as a long term career, I have no idea what I want to become. I'm planning on majoring in a foreign language, so maybe that will take me somewhere.

    I am currently unemployed but I am helping my girlfriend's father build two garages as a side job.

    I am not entirely sure what I would like to do. So far, my options are: History Teacher, English Teacher, Lawyer or Journalist. The last of which is only a slight possibility. The two main things preventing me from doing any of these are apathy and fear. I just want to travel around the world.

    It appears that we are at an impasse.

    That is probably the direction I will be going. However, and be honest about this: would you put me in charge of teaching your children?

    Yes.

    Besides, you probably can't be much worse than many of the teachers I had. Hell, one of them is in prison now for pedophilia.

    Currently I'm a peer mentor for our freshman engineering program. I have a group of students that I meet with individually once a week just to make sure everything's going well with their college experience and to give advice if they're having any kind of trouble with classes, homesickness, dorm life, etc.
    For the most part we just sit around and talk about whatever, though sometimes I do have some more serious stuff to deal with. I enjoy my job pretty well.

    I'm studying computer science because I'm good at programming and could see myself doing it for at least a while. My big dreams include making video games, writing/directing movies and opening up my own tabletop gaming shop. The one I want the most is probably the least feasible (movies)

    I worked as a caregiver for a couple years at a Alzheimer's facility. Absolutely loved it but my coworkers were pretty useless. Got fired due to illness. =/

    Than I got a job working with the developmentally disabled and hated that so I quit that after a few months to work in a factory. Which I got laid off due to budget reasons. Was a pretty boring job and I worked a 8pm to 8am shift. Kind of happy that I got laid off.

    I've been taking little side jobs here and there. Built a deck last week and painted a lot of an interior of a house today.


    I wanted to be a doctor until I scared myself out of it. I don't want to accidentally messed someone up...

    Wanted to be a historian until I found out they mainly just sit behind decks, write, and read reports. I don't have the linguistic skills to be a history teacher... nor do I have experience coaching football...

    There is a few other things I would of loved to go to school for but the whole thought of my diploma being nothing more than another form of ID to collect food stamps irks me.

    So I've decided to become a carpenter. Might as well get paid to something I not only enjoy doing but already do fairly often...

    I work as a photographer. Events, portraits, headshots, etc.

    I also do some very very minor graphic design work.

    And I have tons of stuff on the back burner. More than anything I feel like I'm an entrepreneur. I couldn't even tell you the number of business ideas I have running through my head. The latest one that I've been researching has been owning and operating a small boutique letterpress design and production company.

    My wife has the same dilemma.

    I'm currently working at Quik Trip as a manager until I finish my degree in meteorology. I started that in the Air Force. Quik Trip is not a half bad company to work for. Depending on how far up they promote me before a I graduate, I might stay with them.

    Currently I'm a student so I'm working on the side teaching English conversation to older Japanese people. I'm majoring in Asian Studies and would like to go to graduate school for either International Relations or Communications.

    The weirdest job I have had was a couple weeks ago when I worked at a butler cafe. I dressed up like a butler, served Japanese women their tea, provided some English conversation, and always addressed them as "My Princess." That was weird. Tiaras too!

    I'd really like to be a photographer, but I just don't think that's possible.
