    I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Professional Writing and I'm working in a warehouse. Soooo yeah. Unless the economy gets better and I get a lucky break, I'll never have a "real job" and even less likely, one that uses my degree. *sigh*

    I work for the local Area Agency on Aging. I supervise a team of social workers that assist senior citizens and those with disabilities get in-home care so that they can stay in their homes and avoid institutional placement (read: nursing home). I love my job, but it is quite stressful at times. If you stick with it, the money is ok, but no one goes into not-for-profit social work for the glamorous lifestyle or the big money!

    I'm going to school studying Human Nutrition, with plans to go onto Physician Assistant school. Med school wasn't for me, neither was nursing, so when I discovered PA's, I knew it was for me. Good luck! BTW, I'm a junior and I've changed my major 3 times. Don't be afraid to change it!!! It's worse to stay in something your heart isn't in.

    I got my Master's in Education this year, and am currently working at a treatment center for troubled teens...I've always planned on getting a doctorate...let me put it this way, I'm thinking of getting the doctorate in social work so I can keep with this field :)

    There are days that are a struggle, but there are also days when we can see that we are making a positive difference for kids who seem to have everything at odds with them.

    this has depressed me...should have decided on which uni I want to go to, finally narrowed it down to a course "criminology with law", hate all the universities in england that do the specified course as a major/minor ...therefore I'm either moving to and studying in America, or doing another course either criminology with something (joint honor) or just criminology ...
    For a living...hmm I don't have a life anymore ..studying is my life for the foreseeable future

    I finished a two year internship in August and at the end of it got a job to give me some money while I figured out what I'm doing next. I've been a receptionist for three months and I cannot stand it lol! I have to be constantly on the go and being challenged and I never am. So I'm thinking about going to Uni to study possibly business! :)

    I am studying to be a nurse, just finished my first year and I have three more to go. I never thought I would be going to uni and I never planned it when I was in high school. I work part time at a local supermarket. It took me 2 years of working to figure out what I want to do and even to this day I wonder if I could do anything...

    I'm a demand and supply planner. Don't do it cos I love the job, just that I am quite good at it and fell into it 7 years ago. Would love to do something different but don't really know what, which is part of my problem. Plus starting again would mean dropping down pay scale which cant afford to do!
