What is your occupation? 2004

[Division56]

Just a nice little poll.

There's no need to make a post, I just want general stats. -_- :nerd:

[int]

No that I am, but because I was...full-time student with a full-time job. The option is missing...it's possible to be a student and employed you know. ;P :)

[adamjaskie]

College student, normally, but now that it's the summer, employed.

[spaced]

Heh... I'm a student, employed, and looking for work. This poll needs more choices :)

[Johnny]

I'm employed, but being a student's my hobby.

[Birdsnest]

Accounting Technician, 40-50 hours per week.

[Melody]

Electronics Engineering student, 18 credit-hours. I will become a videogame programmer.

[Strephonade]

Student, with little time for else, presently! Arg!

[indczn]

Due to lack of choices

Student of Accounting(want to be CPA), Currently working (job sucks), and lucky to have a job if/when i graduate.
Spending more effort trying to make the ASU bowling team, however.

[ohnoaninfp]

I am a student , but during the summer I am off. I have been looking for a job since May, which really sucks. Hopefully I can get a weekend job once school starts. :(

[Anacaona]

I am a student too, but I work during the summer.

[jittus rye]

I am a student, but I work at home doing autocad whenever I can, for a mere $35 an hour. A great deal compared to having to deal with companies that send you crap you don't need, and charge you for it.

[Hunter]

Student most of the time, annoyingly unemployed the rest of the time.

[The Architect]

this forum annoys me

[ohnoaninfp]

I might be getting a job! I had an interview today. Hopefully I will get the job. I will be working at Mc Donalds. I am so glad that I will have an income coming in, finally. :)

Who said anything about me doing architecture? I am impaired when it comes to drawing by hand. I only draw electronics and engineering type things. God, not all of us are artistically gifted.

Sorry, I didn't mean to direct that at you, it was more of a general rant against CADD in Architecture. I tend to use the word you when talking about people in general, it's a bad habit, I edited my post so it's more general.

I actually kind of figured you didn't do architectural stuff, we don't make that kind of money doing drafting.

[jittus rye]

I am sorry I was put off by your post then. See what the need for money (food, internet, shelter) will do to people? ;)

[Crazy]

I am a United States Marine. I am employed, but not deployed.

[ohnoaninfp]

I got the job at Mc Donalds. Yay! I am not a bum anymore! :) I start training tommorrow.

[Miss Padfoot]

Student here. Actually, I would much rather be a student for life than get a job. But that costs too much. Maybe I'll be a college professor or something - it's the closest I can get to being paid for learning.

[MasterMerk]

Student here, also.

Architecture Student, right now though I'm up near Portland interning at a firm.

I hate AutoCAD, I learned the program in a week but I can't stand drafting on a computer, it's much more satisfying by hand. I understand the need for it while doing construction documents or mechanical type drafting, but unless someone is designing a Gehry building, I have no respect for architectural firms who design with computers, it simply leads to mediocre design.

Mediocre design is the modern America way, no?.

Ah, McMansions...

[Laeskis]

student/toilet paper stocker/CEO

[WetRock]

I'm an engineer employed full-time but I always long to go back to school. I consider myself a student at heart. I always like learning new things and how things work. But that's all part of being the INTP yes?

[GraviTass]

I am an RN. I *hate* *my* *job* !

[Boozer]

software engineer/tester
also taking graduate classes to get my masters in comp. sci.

[Sam172]

Student studying history, english language & literature, ICT and philosophy

Outside of that I get paid by the Government in the way of child benefit ^_^

[INTrPosr]

I am looking for something to tie me over (part time work) and get some debts down. I keep seeing these Work From Home offers. Has anyone bitten? I see them and consider they are basically a farce.

[ohnoaninfp]

I still work at Mc Donalds and I am a full time student.

[synchronous]

I've had a checkerboard empoyment history. My first job ever was lifeguard/instructor. From there jumped to sales, secretarial/clerical work, project coordinator, and at the moment Lab technician in an entomology lab. I'd have to say this one is the best - It's just me, a few other introverted colleagues, my desk and my microscope. No need to worry about what I look like, how I dress, and the level of interaction with the public is just about zero. My desk is in the corner of the lab, beside a window so I can observe the activity outside from time to time. Entomology is a specialized field, you get the opportunity to discover rare and interesting finds, and my work involves surveillance - identifying vector species that potentially carry viruses, so, I'm contributing to the wellbeing of society without getting too messed up in the details of living and socializing.

I'd say, from my life experience so far, I'm best cut out to work on short term to medium term, task-oriented work - thinking of work in terms of a series of projects/contracts as opposed to finding and keeping long term employment with one employer. And, it's important for me to have a definite begining and an end to the work. If the job gets really tedious, at least I know when it will all end and looking forward to starting something new and different. One drawback is finding projects/contracts on a consistent basis to keep you afloat financially. Let's just say, I'll most likely never be rich... :) Another drawback is that it doesn't look too pretty to a potential employer when they peruse your long and varied employment history. I suppose one way to work around that is to sell myself as a company - providing a variety of services on contract. Call me 'self-employed' ;)

I found another link regarding careers and type. The INTP (http://www.bsu.edu/students/careers/article/0,1370,143360-10696-23860,00.html) careers are interesting. However, I see more commonality with the ENTP (http://www.bsu.edu/students/careers/article/0,1370,143360-10696-23835,00.html) careers.

[shaytana]

I need to change my answer now. I just got a job as tech support for ibm.
I am a responsible adult now.

[Ckyzxr]

Production Supervisor for a huge well-known North American building materials company owned by a huger multi-national (err...French) building materials company which has between 172,000 and 180,000 employees, depending on the stock price and the mood of the VPs.

Lawyer

(Called Attorney in the US)?

[jjt]

My careers include RN (my first career and a mistake) I then did a degree in furniture design then travelled widely supported by casual nursing jobs - about 2 years. Then I specialised in designing specialised seating and Positioning equipment for people with disabilities - enjoyable for about 8 years. Next a stint as an artist, only lasted 2 years but sold a few pictures, next a business owner / self employed - Nutrition business, still going. I have also trained as a seminar leader (self development courses) dabbled in property investment (current) and am a mother to 2 young children (pretty time consuming). I've spent 9 years in tertiary education and about 15 working, since I left school.

[athman]

I went to a career advisor once (and only once) he told me to organise my CV as though I meant it all as part of a grand plan. I think he was full of shit, but here goes...
furniture removalist / hardware shop assistant / uni - business degree / self employed - print advertising / large systems sales rep, then training instructor, then state manager of a PC branch at IBM / uni - masters degree / self employed - management consultant & half time staff member of a small MBA school / consulting director global chartered accounting firm / chief operating officer of a software company (hated it) / consulting director, corporate finance arm of the same big chartered accounting firm, at the same time owned a Thai resturant with my wife / now self employed management consultant but getting bored with consulting, am finalising negotiations to create a university spin-off software company but I've also been approached to join a psychiatric research centre to help with business development and that sounds interesting too.
See, that all makes sense doesn't it?

[evil kitten]

I am also a college student, praying to God that I have enough money to finish school.

[jimkopelli]

Student with work study... a nice cushy library job that allows me time for homework... or just general computer usage... like checking forums... hmm.
