    I am VERY impressed that you're managing to do that job during first tri. I can't even be in the same area as food cooking on some days.

  • I went to college to teach English grades 7-12.  However, I absolutely HATED student teaching.  I had a nightmare experience and I can never see myself teaching.  My license has since expired so even if I wanted to, I'd have to go back to college for additional credit hours.  So, I'm in a rut.  As of now, I work part time as a bank teller...not my dream job.  It's not a horrible job, just not what I imagined myself doing.  I've been at the bank for just over three years.  It was originally supposed to be a summer job...  I'd really like to get out of here and do something different, but the problem is is that I have no idea what I should do.  I'm seriously in a terrible career rut.  Ugh!

    I have a degree in criminal justice! Love the field! I should have taken an internship while in school. I was working full time and going to school full time. There was no time to have an internship that didn't pay the bills. I searched for a job in my field, it's nearly impossible with out some sort of experience.
  • I am a registered nurse for a small but busy emergency room
  • I'm a stay at home (soon to be) mother, which is a major blessing because there is no way I'd be able to leave the house everyday with how difficult this pregnancy has been so far!

    @lucylove619 I worked in PR before switching to speech path! You'll love the change! What setting do you plan on working in?

  • Such wonderful diverse experiences, life paths, and adventures of all of us on here!! You go you awesome women you!! What each of you does is so important no matter what it is. Don't ever doubt that! :)

    I'm currently a pharmacist but previously had been a social worker. It was such a tough job. I salute all the social workers on here!!

  • I was a double major in college with photography and education, I meant to teach for at least 5 years and build up a photography business.  I ended up leaving teaching after my first full year, I liked it but my business had already grown to a point where it made sense to do it full time.  

    Now I'm able to schedule work around the kids (mostly) which is great.  I mainly shoot weddings and portraits but I have a few great corporate clients as well.
