Man.... I'm still trying to figure that out.... I'm in school now and doing odd jobs on the side occasionally
I am currently disabled. But when I was working, my primary job was working with Ford. And years ago I worked with the NYC DEP.

It seems like we are the ones whom Jesus 'needs' now---those 'needing a direction' and the disabled, because we are the ones with 'an empty shoulder to carry His cross upon' (though He calls the 'heavy-burdened' to place their crosses at His feet & take up His instead, He need US to snap them out of their 'rut trudging'-stupor ... Amen?)

We should be 'internet-cops'---oh, still doin` the "money-making" in our off-hours; but otherwise enforcing 'the way we know the Net should be.' ;)

I am not employed currently, but I studied computer science in school and have been trying to learn 3D modeling on my own.  If I could have any job, I'd love to sorta combine those two skills.  My current plan is to work in the video game industry as either a character modeler or 3D generalist or to work on the coding side developing the AI or the game dynamics. 

The biggest problem for me is finding a way to break into the industry and narrowing my scope.  I've had many people tell me I can't do all that and I'd be better off choosing just one thing, but the whole scope is fascinating so it's hard to choose just one thing to learn about.

I hate working 9 to 5 jobs. It sucks the life right out of you. I'm very passionate about music. I would love to make a
living as a songwriter or music producer. I've been honing my skills and soon I hope to have a career in music.

I am retired now but I was a teacher. I was so lucky because I got paid to do something I truly loved doing. I think that is the key; finding a job you truly enjoy. Otherwise work will be just that. The hard part for many people is finding that thing they can get paid to enjoy. That's why I feel I was so lucky because I always knew what I wanted to do.

I think the important thing is to stay focused on the ultimate purpose in life---to endure, to live to the glory of your god. & public school is all about that ... filling young minds with distractions that will make them feel 'accomplished' in doing whatever we taskmasters set them to :angel12:

Right after high school I went to a local community college with journalism in mind.  1/2 way through my first year I was engaged and that took my life in a different direction.  I never completed my college education.  For nearly 20 years I've "dabbled" in several things... had tons of opportunities to grow and promote in companies utilizing my skills from coaching gymnastics, cake decorator in a wal-mart store to owning my own drywall/home repair business.  I'm now in a happy moment... I'm home with my 3 kids again.  Although now I'm bringing an income in through sites like Fusion Cash (although these guys are the best) I'm learning how to utilize affiliate marketing.  In the warmer months of the midwest my husband and I do lawn maintenance.  Going on our 3rd year with that.  Each year I pray we grow a little bigger with it.

I'm very strong metaphysically so I do well with numerology and helping people understand their natural tendencies and strengths.  We all deserve to know some pretty intimate details about who we are and where we excel.

I guess you could call it "out of the box" counseling.   :heart:
Have a great day!

I study accountant.  During school I work at a doctor office place and be a Medical Billing.  I like it very much so didn't even finish school for accountant.

I went to college for interior design and racked up enormous amounts of debt sadly graduated the same time that the recession attacked and was never able to find a job for what i had gone to school for still stuck paying over 120,000 in student loans though funny how they never really mention that to kids before they go to school that you may never be able to find a job.  any way i now dont work besides online as i have had to become a stay at home mom because it was not going to pay for me to go to work once we paid for my gas and the day care.  i have finally found my nitch it seems not only do i get to spend time with my children but now i can work online and i get to be creative that is when my kids let me.  i loving painting and making jewelry and knitting and now that i can do this and make money for it im ecstatic.  does it get lonely some times all by my self with the kids sure but i wouldn't change it for the world.

At the moment, I have my own business as a removal company for funeral homes and coroner's first calls. I have not chosen this career path it chose me. In other words, I receive and deliver dead people to funeral homes!
