My Turn to be bored - How about this... What does everyone do for a living???

You work too much

Nicole,

Do you have a Ph.D.?  My daughter is working on her MSW at Columbia University in New York.  She is contemplating clinical psychology in the future.

D

No I don't. My Masters is in Social Work and I got my Clinical License. I considered going back for doctorate in human sexuality. But to be honest with you since i had the surgery i am making up for lost time and I am not sure I Want to spend 5 years of what I have left in a doctoral program.

Nicole,

Yeah, I'm not sure what she's going to end up doing either.  She graduated from U of Chicago in 2007, and after that tried to get into a Ph.D. program.  As you know, it's extremely difficult -- so, she's working on her MSW now, then will decide.  I have a feeling she'll be going back to Chicago, though, she LOVED living there.

 i went to school in chicago, it's amazing out there. i miss it so much

OMG I wish I had jumped on this thread earlier because after reading all of your posts about exciting and rewarding jobs I feel like a schmuck posting mine!!

My 'paying' job is working for General Electric Corporate Environmental Programs - I am the office administrator (aka Office Goddess) - we're a small group comprised of geologists and lawyers. Our job is to clean up toxic sites that we either created (unknowningly, of course) or bought over the years as we acquired other businesses. I have been a secretary/admin for 35 years (gulp) but had always worked in a finance or sales environment so this is a totally new type of work for me and it is very interesting - its also a small office (9 of us now and 5 of us are the same age) so there is no back-stabbing or b.s. involved, and that makes it a wonderful place to work. And sadly I never get to work from home, but 2 years ago our offices were totally renovated and updated and I was the only one who got new furnishings and they are quite lovely, so its not a bad gig at all.

Of course my 'non-paying' job is caregiver to my mother who has NSCLC and we're entering our 4th year of fighting that horrible disease - and of course taking care of hubby and my precious pooch.

First off more than anything im a mom of two and a half!! LOL

Second I am a accounts rec manager for alittle company that sells Christmas tree products such as tree stands, pruners, and ev erything basically as tree farmer or business needs to sell christmas trees and wreaths. I also do ordering and other office things. Its a pretty good job for the most part!! It has its moment like any other place!!

Let's see...By day according to my business card I am a client account specialist for a small sign company. I pretty much do all the inside sales and service. It is a small shop me, production guy and designer and the boss. Well boss does half my job for me and I am already bored. I don't like it and fill very unfilled most days.

In a prior life I did insurance customer service along with sales. I was burned out so I left that and now thinking maybe about going back if the right thing was on hand.

Weekend I do private event DJing nad have for the last six years as one of the house DJ's for a local catering hall and even that has lost its appeal for me because rather spend my weekends home with Dennis. It is good extra money when I do it though so I don't count on it to live at all to me it is all bonus money at this point.

I am thinking of going back to school but for what??? or even career change any thoughts???

Beth,
I looked you up in the yearbook why don't you go back to school for hair design. That was you original goal to be a hair dresser and that way you can hook me up girlfriend.

Shilpa....I have not been home all week but will look at the yer book tonight for sure once I get home. I went to school for hairdressing whiel in High School finsihed the hours but I didn't like it at all. I didn't like working on strangers and not having a choice to service them.
