I want to change my career (or start one) in the next year.
I currently work at a steel mill, make decent money and like the people I work with but that is it. I do not like the actual job, its the same thing over and over again. 12 hour swing shifts and working 7 days in a row a couple times a year are not fun.
I have no idea what I want to do, but I’m working on it haha.
once i graduate from college, i’m going to be a elementary education teacher, somewhere hopefully in the grades 4-5, and on friday, saturday, sunday, and maybe monday night, I hope to also be either a waiter or personal trainer. This won’t bring in a TON of money, maybe 40k a year, but I don’t really care about that, I know I’m gona have so much fun doing it that it doesn’t matter to me.
After maybe 5-8 years of teaching if I feel I need a little raise or a higher position, I will probably go out for a job as a principal in a elementary school. I’m very excited to start teaching. So that’s what I’m gona do.
Right now I’m a junior in college and hopefully going to start being a waiter soon to start savin’ up.
This summer I have been working as a fisherman. Last summer I did some heavy labor work. Summer before that I sold fruit and wegetables at market place…
During the year, I give private math lessons, write nutrition and training programs, sometimes even labor doring weeknds.

I’m a software engineer for one of the largest US military contractors. It’s pretty glamorous. Between the women, exotic, travel, booze, drugs, and wild parties I amaze myself sometimes that I still have time for training and rugby…
Oh, sorry, dozed off there. Must’ve been sleep typing. Not glamorous at all, I sit at a computer all day writing code. Sometimes I get to go down the hall to the lab to test some of that code. That’s about as exciting as it gets. But hey, it feeds me and keeps me clothed. Plus I get a great feeling of satisfaction that I’m helping our soldiers do their jobs.
hey df what steel mill do u work for? what is ur job description?
I used to work for a steel mill as a crane operator. good money but absolutely hated the fuckin job. I quit and am now a full time student.
I’ve been a Structural Engineer since I was 20 and since then have worked on all types of projects. I like having a job that presents me with a challenge and allows flexibility. Working 4 days a week is great!
I work in advertising. I just started a few months ago out of college. Its not bad but i wish i could have a job where a make alot of money and get to be outside doing something.
