I'm 24 (as of today) and just graduated and looking for a job as a recreational therapist. :)

Anyone know anyone hiring? lol

It would be a bit of a commute, but we do sometimes (all full right now, though!) www.qliomaha.com for an old video/site

But that's just to make money for now, going to school to become either a social worker or a speech pathologist :)

I'd definitely pick the "Speech Pathologist." :)

I am currently unemployed but in school. :shy:
I might end up majoring in engineering, but so far I've been facing obstacles with my school as they have too many students in those types of departments.
I would kill for a job, but they are few and far between where I'm at (as it is with many other areas, I'm sure).

If you can get on with the Electric company, the phone company or a cable company, they will teach you communications engineering or electrical engineering.

I'm 23 and I am currently a teller at a bank. Not sure I fit in, the girls I work with wouldn't even pick up a turtle. Haha before this I worked at Auto Zone for 4 years and went to school for radiology.

I am the sum of my years as a Computer Programmer and thrice my years as a Database Administrator plus 2 years old. I have been a DBA for the same time spent in school prior to college and was a Programmer for twice that plus 1 years. I received a B.S. in Biology (Pre-Med) the number of years I was a Programmer and one half the years I have been a DBA years ago and a B.S. in Medical Technology 5 years thence.

Armed with the above information, what color are my eyes? :p

I'm a contracts and proposals manager for the largest professional services firm in the world. I work primarily on large Federal government proposals. The total value of proposals we work on have ranged from $100M to $5B. We're expected to do all we can to win. Whenever I'm on a proposal, I sometimes have to work 80hrs or more for 4 weeks straight (we have 30 days to respond to a proposal unless they extend the due date) - so there's a lot of stress to deal with.

Basically, my job sucks - but it pays the bills. I've actually found my new Tortoise buddies to be very relaxing to watch. I wish I could be working with animals all the time.

If you're interested in electrical engineering, there's growth in the renewable energy sector. I know that Southern California Edison has College interns every summer. Here's SCE's internship website:

and their jobs website:

Just saw this thread! In chronological order:

-paper boy
-grocery bag boy
-grocery stocker
-residential home designer
-and for the last 20+ years, I move stuff from here to there, and then sometimes bring stuff back from there to here. It's not really as exciting as it sounds!

SAHM.
Before that I was a

1. Nanny
2. preschool teacher for 10yrs at the same school
3. Nanny for 2 years then met my husband through the mom
4. Then a nanny for a family for 7 years.
5. Stay at home mom.
I feel very fortunate I am able to stay home w/ my kids.
I never went to a 4yr college or have many skills so I have no idea what I would do if I had to go back. The whole thought frightens me. That reminds me, I better get off here and get my house clean:)
