Jobs: What do you do?

I'm a sales associate (actual title is "Sales Consultant" lol) at Best Buy. It's a pretty boring job because I work in a very low traffic store. I liked my old store a lot better.

How did you get this job??? That sounds so perfect for me! I used PSycinfo every day during my degree!

I am a bank teller right now. I'm training to move up to work in financial services soon. It's not exactly what I want to do but it's work and I really like my colleagues.

I've never really had a dream job. Sometimes I would really rather just not work.

CPA in a high stress industry

Currently on disability.

Previous jobs have been sporadic.

3 of my longest running one were working for a cable company in technical support. An alarm monitoring company and I was an Information Systems Technician in the US Navy.

Sounds like an ideal arrangement. Your husband must be a very happy man.

I'd like to think so. We certainly don't have the most perfect marriage by any means. Long long story not for the internet. Married 17 years, I guess all couples have skeletons

I work in healthcare as a manager for a specialist group. I like it pretty well most days.

I do fund development for a nonprofit, but I'm able to work remotely from home. It's 30 hrs/wk. I don't love the job, but I'm very proud of the work my agency and its staff does; I'm glad that I can help make that work possible. I do this job for the incredible flexibility and its support of life-work balance (especially family life).

I dropped out of medical school and changed to science, then worked in a lab for years. Retrained and went to the NHS, did some time in pharma and now work for a not for profit. Mostly from home but lots of travel. I wish I didn't have to work but I'm a carer and sole wage earner and live on my income. Ideally I'd like to be a writer and live on a farm......

Luck! As soon as I graduated in December, I put in my application for a Technical Information Analyst. Had the interview in February and started the job April 1st. It's been three years.
However, the training was so frustrating. But then it clicks and it's fine.

I was a bank teller for about three or four years. I then switched over to financial services representative for about a year. I was no good at it because I'm horrible in sales. I didn't feel comfortable putting people into debt. My "sales" came mostly from deposit accounts.

This sounds a lot like me. I'm moving into Financial services now but I'm looking at it as another step toward something higher In the bank. I am not sales minded at all.

Right now I work about 20 hours a week in a Printing department of a big retail chain. It is just to get me through university. It is a low paid minimum wage job and I hope for better in the future. Before this I had 5 years unemployed due to illness and before that I worked as a Case Manager which I loved. Wish I was well enough to go back to that

On disability for years but keep trying to go back to work. Last job was as ESL tutor for the deaf at the community college. Before that worked at a school for the blind as a living skills teacher. My favorite job was was working for a state tax office...not the job but the people I worked with. Co workers can make or break a job.

Next month I start a very part time job working at a recreation center for the city.

That job sounds awesome! I want it. Is it fun? It sounds like it would be fun. Do you operate a ferris wheel? Or, even better, a rollercoaster?

In my adult life I did an excercise one time where I had to write down what my three dream jobs were and one of the things I put down was carnie. Lol!

I work at wal-mart as a greeter. I give people smiley face stickers.

It has it's ups and downs. It's fun, but there's a lot of rules I have to enforce which can be kind of a bummer, especially when I tell someone they can't ride and some days I do so much yelling I can hardly talk at the end of the day ("Sit down!" "Keep your hands out of the water!"). I operate a pirate ship, a haunted house, a log flume, and a couple kiddie rides.

Oh cool!

Anyway, actually I work at a salad bar. I make fruit cups and veggie trays and fruit trays and fruit baskets, and I make orange juice. Lots of running around and cutting and sanitizing and lifting heavy objects, so I'm in shape. Toned upper body. Pipes. Love showing off my muscles. Haha!

Writer by night.

I'm on disability but I was a early head start primary caregiver (teacher) in one year old classroom

Lots of teachers and quite some computer programmers, right?

I am a computer programmer and entrepreneur (or "undertaker" ). If I were better at the latter I wouldn't have to do so much of the former. I'm also quite the perfectionist, but (doing the) business helps, balancing short-term and long-term gain.

My mania, borderline personality traits and perfectionism make it impossible for me to work as a software engineer for a (big) company that is not my own. After 1.5 years I get either severely depressed or manic. Both to such extent that my services are no longer required (or they are, but they don't see it like that. I am serious).

It's the combination of boring work with still so much room for improvement (mostly in design and business processes and strategy) that is toxic.

The worst thing is that you don't meet customers/users when doing just computer programming. I like work where I am not stuck with the same people all day.

You are also overpaid, so you always disappoint your employer and you have to work a lot harder. Worst is that you have to deal with bad design that needs to be changed, but few see the business value.

It's easy to take on a goliath in such markets. And a lot more fun.

Last job was customer service/data entry. I liked my job very much most of the time. I think the chronic paranoia I suffered from social interactions may have made me physically sick, but overall, it was an excellent job for me. If I could have put an opaque netting around my cubicle I may have loved it even more. I don't do well with people. Something about me makes them want to hurt me and eventually, if I stick around long enough, I give them good reasons to do so.

Formerly a computer programmer, then public school art teacher (I'm on unpaid medical leave since February and will retire in June!!!) I also have a part-time job as an office personal assistant for a person with a disability. I'm liking this job, but even in a less stressful work environment, I'm finding new triggers. Yikes it's endless!!! And I'm looking for a 2nd part-time job, too.

Started disability this year, but before that 6 years at a wireless company. Position was b2b sales of wireless technology, (phones, tablets, tracking devices...)
Sales is super stressful.
