I'm 21 and in Fargo, North Dakota. I currently work for a big name technology and software company. It's paying the bills, but my plan is to return to school next fall. I'd like to go for zoology, and ultimately I'd love to work in a zoo or conservation center type environment. I'm really interested in breeding and nutrition especially.

Hi! For the next 4 days I am still a teacher! This was my last year! .. I'm only 40 so I don't get to enjoy retirement. I'm joining a friend with her photography business which turns one of my hobbies into a little bit of money! so I guess it is somewhat of a dream job! It allows me to feel like a real parent and wife. I have a servants heart, I feel the need to give 100% in every area and when you add up all of the hundred percents you do not feel effective anywhere because it's not humanly possible to achieve that success rate. I also coach club ball, all of our kids play. Two soccer and one volleyball. We have an absolute fantastic time doing everything! My sweet hubby and I have spent many hours discussing the kids of today: the things they are having to endure in junior high and high school that we feel I need to be "very available" for them. It isn't good enough for my husband and I to just be on campus with them any more. I need to be in each of their rooms and randomly bringing them lunch!!

Now after this week I will be successfully doing my dream job!! I can feel like I'm being real parent to my kids (my animals are my kids as well!!) and a good wife to my hubby!

TMI rt?!! Lol

I was a long distance truck driver and I loved it. I pulled a 53' trailer across the U.S. and got to do and see things and places that some people never do. It was the best thing I ever did. I live in the Pacific North West, am old as dirt and was forced into retirement do to an injury. So I hang out, care for my animals and watch as much NASCAR as I can. As well as my animals, my hobby is cars, hot rods and speed, I have a 1989 IROC-Z and I show it at the many small local car shows here in Oregon. I also keep turtles and tortoise and have Bob a 150 pound Sulcata. Proudly, Yvonne G is my sister.

1.2.0 Cats (Stormageddon, Lola, and Hippo)...
I also am a cat lover...Stormageddon??? That's a scream! I have Lil Roxie and Maks. There's another tort keeper here who raises Persian cats, and one of his (hers?) is called Booger. Persians are so dignified and Booger??? It cracks me up every time I read it.
This is Lil Roxie looking out the window at me...

I'm 29 and currently a receptionist/technician at a veterinary hospital (cats/dogs/horses only) in Iowa. My dream job is to be a lab geek. Microscopes, slides, bloodwork.... All of it.

His full name is Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All. We call him Stormy. It's a Doctor Who reference and it fits the little turd nugget perfectly.

Hippo was short for Hippolyta, but now she's just Hippo. She's also earned the middle name Potamus. Sometimes she goes by Princess Fluffybutt.

I'm currently a chef on an oil rig. Good job, with PLENTY time off to potter with my tort. Would love a job with animals, but none around here pay the same wage as offshore sadly. Either that or pro wrestler, been wrestling Around UK for 10 years, mostly weekends, but never made it big. But being nearly 35, I never will. Ach well.....I have my family so can't complain.

 

[erdavis]

Wow, so many different interesting jobs that people have.
I'm 19 and a LPN (licensed practical nurse ). For now I just work helping a 93 year old lady with whatever she needs while I am there (bathroom, bathing, cleaning the house, meds, etc) because she works around my schooling, but hopefully will be getting a job soon as an anesthesiologist tech (it's between me and one other person). I love talking to patients when they're out of it, it's hilarious, but the main reason I want the job is for the on call stuff and the crazy emergency surgeries. I'm taking my last class I need to be able to bridge into an RN program, I won't take a break with school until I have my BSN but I know that one day eventually I'll go further than that. I hate gen ed classes but I do like nursing related classes.

Wow, isn't it amazing that for professional sports that 35 is considered on the older end of the spectrum? You have such a small window of time, however when you are in your 20's it seems like you have an eternity. Then when you are 40 it seems to be a lifetime ago.

Being on an oil rig, how do you keep your skills up?

 

[StuMac]

It's crazy, sure I'm more banged up than my mid 20's but I'm not ready for the scrap yard just yet! I keep busy in the gym, riding my bike and playing football( soccer). Plus I train a few weekends at a time. After 10 years I'm considered a veteran though, so I am still quite handy!
