Good luck with school.

Right now I am off work, well I quit, due to a dog bite and then treating me like sh** but I am going to go back to school to better my knowledge as a landscape designer. I love working with plants and stuff. But I also do mobile grooming and I train horses.

I used to do volunteer work with autistic kids. I just loved it. They changed my life!

I am a full-time student and I work full-time doing writing and editing for a government agency.

I hope to become a lawyer and become a low-income criminal defense attorney. I am graduating from undergrad w/ two degrees - a B.A. in Political Science and a B.S. in Communication and it will have only taken me 4 years!

We're trying to have a baby and Dr. said i needed to de-stress so i stopped working. I used to be the Supply-chain administrator for LVMH in Southern California.

Now I'm a stay at home mom to one active yorkie.

WOW! Great job! It has taken me 4 years to get this far and I still have 1 more to get my B.S.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I went back to school late...did you got to college right out of high school?
I'm impressed!

I graduated in 2002 from Purdue University (Go Boilers!!!!) with a BA in Sociology. I stayed In West Lafayette for a year after I graduated while my husband got some work experience as a Manager(he graduated in 2000 from Purdue with a BS in Management). I got to be friends with the Community Manager at the Apt's we lived in and when she got promoted she recommended me for her job so for that year we were in West Lafayette I was a Community Manager, I really liked it so when we moved to Miami I wasn't fluent in spanish yet so I couldn't find a job in my field so I stayed in Property management and unless I find a market research job now that I am almost fluent in spanish I think I am going to get my real estate license. but I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities!

I feel pathetic...you all have great jobs and I'm a waitress at a resteraunt & bar. I LOVE my job. ( I know that sounds dumb) but I have a really good time. I'm 28 years old, and have done nothing with my life....now I'm depressed! I didn't even finish a full year of college. Oh well, life goes on!

centralnewyorki · 08-13-2005, 09:13 PM

My degree is in public relations, and I'm currently doing PR, event planning, and fundraising work.

I am a hair stylist!!!! AKA--therapist, councelor, psychiatrist, the person that they tell everything to, problem solver, and advise giver!!!! hehehe!!! No, but seriously- I love that I get to be creative, and stay up on all the fashions and talk all day long!!!!!!!

Jin · 08-13-2005, 09:55 PM

I'm currently a student majoring in business/economics, going to UC San Diego (Management Science Major) next month but thinking of trying again for UCLA or Cal as SD doesn't accomodate well to my educational goals. I'm a business owner. I distribute and manufacture a variety of things (mainly cosmetics and pigmentation machinery). I'm trying to score a real estate and contractors license so I can do that as a hobby or on the side. I used to own a web hosting company and designed webpages but sold the company a few years back.

chewysmom · 08-13-2005, 10:10 PM

last September i quit my job to stay at home full time to take care of my son and hubby. before that I worked in commercial real estate, magazine publishing and then worked for a chiropractor, running his office. I'll probably return to work in the next few months but am also thinking about getting certified as a pilates teacher and going to school to study nutrition.

Yes, I have been going to school straight through since I was 3 years old

. It would have been wonderful to take some time off, but I didn't trust myself to go back - so I decided against it.

For my full time job I am an aide at the local high school. I work with kids with learning disabilities and I've been doing it for 13 years. It's rewarding and frustrating at the same time. I also coach the High School Envirothon Team which is my pet project! I've been doing that for about 14 years. It's an environmental learning program where we teach materials supplied by the county conservation district. Materials are from 5 areas, wildlife, forestry, aquatics, soils, and a current event topic that changes every year. There's a county competition and who ever wins that goes to state competition and who ever wins that goes to nationals. It's a great program!! I also work part time at a financial consulting firm doing payroll for some of their corporations. Keeps me busy!
