What do you do for a living?
Where did you go to school (If you did)?
If you could do anything else for a career, what would it be?

Re: More GTKY Fun...
I am a school counselor on a K-5 campus
Where did you go to school?
The University of Tennessee for both grad and undergrad (I was also at the historic game last night where 159,000 people attended our college football game....it was nuts!)
If you could do anything else, what would it be?
I worked retail while I was in college. I was an assistant at Ann Taylor, and I absolutely loved it. If retail was more family-friendly, I would rather do that!
I'm a Scentsy Consultant full time, and a nanny part time!
Where did you go to school??
Which time?? Lol. I was pretty indecisive on what I wanted to do with my life! Truthfully, I just want to raise babies and run my Scentsy business!! Made it difficult with massive fertility issues though! So, I went to UW-River Falls for 4 years studying Comminucative Disorders and Spanish. Then St. Paul college for 2 years studying Sign Language Interpreting. From there I took online courses for 2 years getting a degree in Medical Administrative Assisting & Coding from the Ultimate Medical Academy!
If I could do anything else what would it be??
I believe I am well on my way to building my Scentsy business to be strong enough to quit my part time job and live the dream working my business from home so I can be home with my first little one!
I went to college at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg (a little over an hr SE of KC). I just started online Masters classes with Missouri State University in Springfield (south central MO).
Teaching is my life, but if I could have another career, I'd do almost anything in the field of books. An author...an editor...bookstore owner. I also feel I'd enjoy working for the newspaper or at a pet store.
I went to FSU for my undergrad in fashion merchandising and got my MBA at Florida Institute of Technology
I was an assistant buyer for a dept store right out of undergrad and loved it. I would love to still work in a buying office for a major retailer but you need to live in a big city for most of the good ones and they don't pay enough to live in a big city.

I work for the government in quality review.
I went to Rockhurst University for business.
I love the flexibility and security my job provides. I don't see myself going any where. However, if money and pension weren't a concern I'd love to be a full time fitness instructor. I've taught Zumba fitness since 2007 and am licensed in WERQ and Fierce4, and have my group certification. I just don't have the time with my full time job and family to prep for several classes a week.

Where did you go to school (If you did)? I went to Assumption College for both my bachelors and masters for counseling psychology. I then went to UMass Boston to get my Ed.S in school psychology
If you could do anything else for a career, what would it be? I love the stability of my job. However, if I could I would love to own a bakery : )

I went to the University of Florida, go Gators!
If I could do something else, I would probably be an Elementary teacher or a writer.
I'm a high school physics teacher. I teach 3 levels of AP physics.
Where did you go to school (If you did)?
University of North Texas. I have a B.Sc. in Chemistry. The plan was to be a doctor - that didn't quite pan out
If you could do anything else for a career, what would it be?
I don't really know - if I look at the jobs where I've been the happiest, it's always been teaching. (Personal Trainer, Dance teacher, horseback riding instructor). But it can be a pretty stressful gig. I sometimes think about being a doctor again - or a nurse maybe? But so much school and debt is daunting.
If I could have any job, once my kiddos go to school maybe, I would LOVE to go back and be an ultrasound tech. Id want to work for an OB, but im not sure id want to go back to school so im thinking maybe I could do something at my towns pregnancy center. Otherwise id love to own a coffee shop
Adventist University in Orlando fl

University Of Utah
I would work in health and fitness if I ever left
I graduated from Auburn University.
If I could pick a career (and skip the going back to school part) I would want to work in a funeral home. (Sounds crazy...but somebody's got to want to do it.)
I'm a college professor
Where did you go to school (If you did)?
One of my schools was Michigan, which is here in my picture. For now I'm going to decline answering the rest of this question (as a professor I have multiple degrees) because I want to remain slightly anonymous.
If you could do anything else for a career, what would it be?
Lucky for me I'm in the right career and have a hard time imagining doing something else. I could do work for the government, though, or a private company, but I'd miss teaching. On the flip side, I could be a high school teacher, but I'd miss research and the more advanced / specialized course teaching that you can do in college. If I were to do something complete different, I could fill my time with my art (I'm being vague again about what type of art it is.) I am good enough to make some money doing this because I already do sometimes, but I doubt that I am good enough -- even if working on it full-time -- to make enough money to cover anything more than the expenses I incur in doing the art.
School Psych is booming I hear. Everyone gets a job that graduated from the program. One per district is tough though. We have a lot but we are spread thin. I'm responsible for 2 schools as well as some of the out of district kiddos.

I got my BS in biomedical photographic communications at RIT and while my degree is badass, the job field is way too small for my liking unless I want to do ophthalmoc photography. That unfortunately turned out to be not my cup of tea.
I have always loved working in an office setting with some interaction. Im hoping to get back into that again eventually when the kiddos are old enough to go to school full time. Record management or something similar appeals to me
Where did you go to school (If you did)? The New York Conservatory for the Dramatic Arts and Butte College.
If you could do anything else for a career, what would it be? I'm also a doula. I'd love to do that more full time if it were possible. But, it's not, and I love my career.

I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

i went to Eastern Nazarene College for my undergrad and Boston University for my master's.
I love where I'm at in life right now... I am not sure if I can think of anything I'd rather do. I think in the future being in charge of my own business, like an independent tutoring/literacy clinic would be really Amazing.

I went to undergrad at the University of Arizona and I studied archaeology.
If I could do anything, I'd be a SAHM. I wish I could take just a few years off but I'd never get back to where I'm at now, career-wise.

DS: 2
I did my undergrad and grad work at MIZZOU!!!
I would love it if I could be a SAHM, but that's not in the cards for us unfortunately... But I do love teaching! I can't imagine doing anything else. Now if I could get paid to travel, THAT would be amazing! Or if I was an incredible pastry chef! I love to bake... And eat!
For my first degree in biology, I went to both University of California, Santa Barbara & University of California, Davis. I thought I wanted to be a doctor but switched it up when my dad was in the ICU. I saw what the nurses did and wanted to do that instead. So I got my second degree in nursing at Samuel Merritt University.
I'd love to be a SAHM and that might work out soon... And just do per diem to keep my license. If time and money weren't an issue, I'd be a Neuro surgeon!

I went to the University of Missouri Kansas City for undergrad and I went to Avila University for my masters and then I just recently finished the CPA exam back in March.
If I could do anything else it would be owning an event space.
I work in a number of alt-ac projects. My field isn't doing so great jobs-wise so I'm happy to be employed in my specialty!

Went to the local university in my hometown.
Being a SAHM has always been my dream job. If I had to do anything else, I would love to be in fitness.

BFP #2: 8.31.16 Dx w/ GD @ 28w DD Born @ 36w: 4.21.17
I went to school at Colorado State University for Apparel and Merchandising.
I think about changing careers often, but it seems that I have come to far down this path to make a switch that makes sense financially. If finances were not a question, I would want to open my own business. Either becoming a small business consultant or opening a yarn store/coffee shop.
TresGatos--I'm in Buying and have spent the last 10 years in the field...the pay gets better as your career progresses, but the work life balance really blows. For an industry so heavily penetrated by women, it's incredible how inflexible it is. And big cities are definitely best, but there are some buying offices in more suburban spots, too!
I am a massage therapist
Where did you go to school (If you did)?
I went to a local private school for massage

After baby comes I would love to be a SAHM
What do you do for a living? --I'm a financial advisor
Where did you go to school (If you did)? --James Madison University
If you could do anything else for a career, what would it be? --I'm not really sure, TBH. I used to want to be a novelist, but I can't actually ever write a complete book, only pieces. So I'd be a huge failure!
