I started life wrenching on cars when I was 12. Went to tech school for automotive and graduated an ASE mechanic. Year and a half later I suffered a cracked C3 vertabre and from that point could not do the labor involved as a mechanic. Took a year to even get back to a semi normal life. Even changing my own oil was painful.
Got involved in this thing called computers (talking 1989). I've been in IT now professionally since 1991. I now am "glorified title" - senior network engineer as a consultant. I mainly do servers, networks and firewalls and am heading up a disaster recovery plan for clients to provide virtual offices in case of disaster. Love AND hate it at the same time.
It isn't life gratifying work.. neither job was really. However I was lucky in that what turned in to careers were both hobbies at the same time. Makes going to work easier at times
My advice to anyone is try to find a career you WANT to do.1 -

My career is raising small little humans to be amazing adult human beings when they grow up. I'm not perfect at my job but I give everything I have to make sure I guide them in the right direction.7

Healthcare.
I manage folks that have suffered catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury.
Gratifying but requires endless self sacrifice. Including my health. And that is why I find myself here, once again.1 -
I empower people to reach their goals in health... and YES, I love it!1

Im in college atm working towards a science degree. I want to work in field ecology or wildlife conservation and would love to retire later as a professor of biology. I WANTED to be an entomologist but my son threatened to move out and disown me. Bugaphobe.. While I work towards this dream, I contend myself with pet sitting and dog obedience training. Do I love it? Eh.. I dont hate it. If I cant tag a litter of fox kits yet, I suppose working with pets is the next best thing!
I also have two teens who help me with everything. They have helped me since they were in 1st and 4th grade. I thought it was hilarious to hear so many other adults gripe and complain how they couldnt study for an exam or complete an assignment because they had kids at home. I utilized mine! They helped me study for every test and were my audience for every paper I had to write and powerpoint presentation I had to present.1 -
I am a medical student . I'll my degree soon then its time to revive some folks xD2

I'm a software engineer.
It's great, because I get to be nerdy all day long, it's mostly guys, and I get to spend a lot of time not talking g to people. Being an engineer also means I'm not expected to be big on socializing or tact. I'm kinda of known as the weirdo who gets results, and that's more thank OK with me.2 -
I had been working as a carer for the elderly from 1989 until 2016, when I decided I'd had enough and changed career path ... I am now a CSA (Customer Solutions Advisor) for a large international facilities management and building company, I work on the Direct Line Group contract.
I am starting my NVQ in Customer Services in March, plus a volunteer as a school governor at a local primary school; I enjoy my job, it is challenging at times, especially as I have only just moved onto the DLG contract - I was on Virgin Media before the new year, I loved that contract, I worked my way up to being a senior CSA on there, so I hope to get back to that level on DLG in the future, but it is a tough contract because we're such a small team.0 -
I'm an accountant. I graduated from FSU. I own my own small accounting firm and I have 5 employees and subcontract 2 accountants for the overflow.
Don't give me wrong, I love my job. It's a lot of headache and stress I deal with every single day. At least 50-60 emails and phones calls I receive on a daily basis I write 2-3 thousand dollar checks just in payroll every week. Do I make a ton of money in profit? No. Had I rather become a stay home wife and have some children? Yes.
Am I my own boss? No. I'm a slave to my clients.1 -
I'm a manager in a children's nursery and I hate my job, I would love to be a yoga teacher as I'm in love with my practice and it's become my life. Only problem is I have no clue how to switch career and maintain a paying bills at the same time0

I work in dentistry. It's afforded me the opportunity to meet some lovely people and it's nice to help them, But, I don't generally enjoy what I do. Too much paperwork, entitlement and belittlement. I'd leave in a heartbeat if I won the lottery.1

I am a full time Realtor. Any idiot who can fog a mirror can get a real estate license and make a few sales here or there but it is hard work to actually be able to make a decent living doing it. Most of the time I love it, sometimes I hate it LOL.
But it is always a roller coaster...often rewarding esp when you help buyers with financial challenges get their very first home that they can actually afford. Rewarding when you sell a home that is a huge burden to the owner.
I can choose my own hours. That is my schedule is extremely flexible, often I get to work 10 hour days for 21 days straight!
It is full of adventure, laughs, insanity, anger, euphoria, and depression. No other job like it. 10 years doing it full time ...can't imagine any other job being this exciting.2 -
Correctional Officer(Corporal) and I love it.0

Lpn at a correctional facility. I like the "never know what you're Gonna get " and learning about gang stuff...it's not a very rewarding job though and you have to have thick skin. Verbal abuse goes both ways lol2
