Just thought it might be a cool to see what kinds of jobs people around here have and what they'd like to have as a job.

I'm still in high school and i'm currently doing work experience at my old primary school. It's been going so well that it's made me seriously consider presuing a career in teaching. I've also been interested in a career of web design. Who knows what the future holds for me.

I work for a local theatre company.

It's a pretty cool job, especially for someone who loves drama, music and films. I do it all there.

I'm an elementary school teacher, highly I recommend it. The kids are usually fun to work with, and it's a very rewarding job. Though billionaire playboy would be my true desired profession, teaching is a good alternative!

I would like to do economic psychological research with a bank or marketing agency, currently, I do both.

I am unemployed because the fish at Nimbus Fish Hatchery died.

I work as a graphic 'designer' for a print shop. But mostly I'm just a highly trained monkey on an assembly line, doing the same menial tasks over and over and pushing through as many dockets as I can in 8.5 hours.

Want to do? Anything else, and as soon as I get some time to myself, I plan to look!

*edited for spelling errors! Another good reason I shouldn't work in a print shop!*

I do too. It just seems like the most interesting subject, although, that probably has to do with the fact that I'm something of a royalist.
What I am doing? Nothing, except working on some games in my spare time.

I'm not quite sure what I plan on doing since I usually don't want to be too optimistic and risk something not turning out how I'd like it to and make all my plans collapse

I'm a salesperson at an electrical retail store. But a movie director is my main intention and passion.

I'm currently studying to be a Pastor. I go to a seminary in Washington in two years to earn my mDiv.

For the time being, I work for the Social Security Administration. It's not the most gripping of jobs, but the hours and pay are great, and paperwork beats a lot of other stuff I could be doing instead.

I'm one of two owners of a Serious Games computer game company. Currently this means very long days as I juggle management stuff like meetings with creative stuff like game design and the actual hardcore coding.

Where I see myself going? I'd like us to grow to such an extent that I can focus completely on either the management or game design process and only jump in on the coding part when something comes by that really sound extraordinally fun

I'm a theatre director and I also do some acting from time to time. I like this quite a lot, although I'm currently thinking of becoming a diving instructor.

Well, I had plans to go to South Korea to teach English for about a year and explore the area, but recent events in the region have given second thoughts (i.e. a certain country's recent testing of long-range missiles). Thinking about either Hong Kong as a backup option, going back to study or jetting over to England and do some pub work or try and get something over there.

Music Head · #23 Post by **Music Head** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 11:27 am

I reckon it'd be great to go to England. My Paretns are both english but I wasn't born till they got into Australia. Got alot of family over there i've never met like grand parents and stuff.

Perhaps the most difficult (and without a doubt most important) question one must answer in life. Sounds like were all doing fairly well (though I'd wager to say none of us is curently 100% satisfied with what we do) One of the biggest issues of the day seems to be that of money vs job satisfaction. That is would you take a job that offered high pay for only that reason or do something you enjoyed more for less pay?
It's often all to difficult (if not impossible) to reach a desirable medium for one's self. I myself am in this predicament, I am currently a social work major in my senior year, yet having recently married and all and had a for real taste of job experience of this sort, (via an internship) find myself questioning my earlier decisions for choosing this field. Is it all fortune and circumstance? Or do we each really have a say in where our lives go and the satisfaction we derive wherein???

Music Head: Yeah, my parents are English as well, so I qualify for a UK passport. My dad's the eldest of 7, so I have quite a few cousins over there, some I haven't seen for about 12 years or so (last saw them on a family trip over in 1993), and I've got a grandma over in Bournemouth who heads off to Spain every so often.
