You’ve always been curious? Didn’t you join last week and isn’t this your first q ever?
I work as a Patient Navigator for the American Cancer Society – kind of like a social worker for patients in chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Yes that is true, however, I’ve been a fan of this site before acquiring this account. Sorry ._.
I am currently unemployed, but I’m working on a bachelor’s degree, which I plan on using to obtain a PhD one day. I used to work at a chain office supplies store. I learned to manage money very well early on, and I also got a few large scholarship checks that I got to pocket, so I basically live comfortably off my own savings while attending school for free. I do odd jobs occasionally to supplement my income, and I’m planning on getting a job next semester when my work load decreases.
@interweb No need to apologize, whatsoever. Welcome!
@Simone_De_Beauvoir; Thank you for what you do. Someone like you made my journey through a very unhelpful system bearable when I negotiated those choppy waters 11 years ago. Just sayin’.
I do in-home hospice care.
I’m an investor relations officer for a global conglomerate (which sounds more evil than what it is), though I’m currently looking for a position in equity research at an investment bank.
Lawyer, with a focus in employee benefits and executive compensation, particularly in the bankruptcy context (which is exactly as evil as it sounds ;-)).
Librarian and literature teacher at a community college

job = “Computer programmer”

I’m an undergraduate English Literature major. Currently, I am cramming for my graduate exams. My intention is to get an MA (and possibly a PHD) in Children’s Literature. I’m open to a variety of options for a future career, but writing is my primary choice and has been since I was a kid. Teaching keeps diving on and off my list. My professors keep sparking daydreams.
Last week, I had my first job interview for a tutoring position at my university’s writing center. I don’t want to jinx myself, but I think I will get the job.
Welcome to Fluther!
I’m a registered nurse. Right now I work at a doctor’s office as needed. I prefer working at a hospital though and can’t wait to get back to it.
I’m a retired dentist. Now I am a stay at home wife and mother. I hated working. I liked a good result, but I always worked at large group practises where it was hurry, hurry. I had panic attacks.
I am a Professional Sponge and Investor.
I am an attorney; I took early retirement from a large corporation.
I’m an attorney by qualification, but don’t practice anymore, i hate law. I now own several barbershops with my husband and my dad. It’s alright as far as jobs go – i work from home, with my husband, and my time is my own and very flexible and i have no boss.
I’m a full-time Psychology student who works occasional bar shifts at a hotel when they need extra staff. It’d be nice to have a more reliable source of income as my loan just covers my rent and bills but work’s work.
I’m a retired civil servant.
Welcome to Fluther.
I get an education. I live currently off financial aid and student loans as I’m not in a position to work regularly. On the plus side, I paint a lot more now.
Previously, I worked for an AT&T Dealers as an Account Manager handling personal and business accounts.
Machinist. And I moonlight as a professional pain in the ass.
I like both jobs. I take pride in my work, whether it be precisely cutting metal or precisely shredding some idiot’s poorly constructed argument to the delight of others.
If we all got together…
We could rule the world!
Yessssss!
@ChazMaz; You mean we don’t? Damn. I was so sure.
