I am at school and I have absolutely no idea what I am good at, what I want to do when I leave, and where I want to live. It is very worring, probably end up working at maccas :S My goal is an OP of 1-10 preferabbly lower

personal-
i think this chatting business gets too personal at times
first they want to know how old you are ,now they want to know what you do for a living.
well my answer on both counts is- thats for  me to know,and you to find out--keep it friendly chat.

If you don't want to participate in this thread then don't, but please... don't show your distaste for it by bagging it and maybe offending the author of the thread.

Me: I am a Carer.
My first job was in a trendy female clothing store
Second job was in a Newsagency
Third job was in a 'Jeanery' which was in a basement
Fourth job was with my Daddy in his Butcher's Shop (most enjoyable job along with the Newsagency)
Since I was 21-22 I have raised children and run a home. I have not worked outside the home for almost 30 years! Wow.

We can tell our age and our job if we want!
I used to deliver newspapers that's all.

I'm a student...final year!! Lol, should be more worried but so far so good.

Have no idea what I want to do, well actually, that's not competely true...maybe something in business.

Perhaps I'll become head of Channel 7 one day

honestly, my intention wasnt to pry into anyone's private life. I just thought it would make interesting discussion about what people chose to do as their career, and if they enjoy it or not. i thought that it was just a harmless question, unless the question was asking the name and address of your workplace or school then i guess it would be too personal..

Since leaving school, did an apprenticeship as an Engineer, then stayed in the trade for 30 odd years.  Then in 1995 decided to quite the ratrace and started my own mobile Dog washing and grooming company.

I'm a teacher (high school) and this semester am teaching English and Maths.  I am also the manager of reliefs (responsible for covering teacher absences), the manager of Work Experience  and the year 8 co-ordinator.

Mmm guess you could say I'm in the photographic area.

done mini lab courses and worked in a few mini labs in the past

also studied photography at college and now do some freelance photography though I'm more interested in the art side rather then commercial.

now thinking about doing a course in web site development and maybe start designing web sites.

Designing websites is so fun I do it as a class lol.
Oh really Paula? That's cool, our year 8 co ordinator was so mean I remember her, bet your nicer lol Hah year 8, seems so long ago, they are such midgets now!

I don't regard the question as remotely intrusive.

Some people are too sensitive by half!

Update, still a teacher (high school) and teaching English and Pathways. I am also the English coordinator and the year ten manager.

... pathways is a pathetic subject lol the only thing it was good for was bludging so I really shouldn't be complaining.

I'm a uni student. No job because I'm quite lazy lol.

Isn't that the program for the really dumb kids?

Oh candy is that gross, what do you do?


A chef that could be fun ^_^

No... professional pathways is where you learn about work and life. So stuff like how to find a job, developing skills, recognising and identifying your skills, sex ed (funnily enough lol), etc. Well that's what my school did, I don't know about Paula's.

Quoted from Dara

Oh candy is that gross, what do you do?

Not at all, I love my job...not the hours and the overtime, but love blood and guts and seeing inside people  

I would never want to be a teacher like Paula....

Ooh. That's not a class! Well that's like PLC for us, no one does anything lol. You're right, biggest bludge.

Thanks for posting my picture, Kiwi.....
and what occupation would you have guessed on reflection...don't answer that  

Lol well I never really thought about it........ um......... I have no idea.. you suit nurse actually, it's just that would never pop into my head

and glad you like it

Nursing for males as well as females is a wonderful profession IMHO. I never really had a career. I did over 4 years with my Daddy in his Butcher's shop, I worked in a newsagency when I left school at 15 and then a basement Jeanery after that. I left work in the Butcher's when I was 8 and a half months pregnant with my first child at age 21. I was a stay at home Mum after that. Until 2 years ago I was primarily a Mum, up until 7 years ago I was primarily a Mum and Wife. Now I am on a disability pension and have not done paid work for 31 and a half years. Not to say I have not worked Looking back on my life I would like to have done things differently. Established a career and kept in touch with my chosen profession. Maybe married and maybe had children. Definitely would have travelled. Professions I would like to have had are: Beauty therapist, Child Care, Tour Guide, Tour Bus operator/driver, Gift shop assitant/owner, Make-up artist, Forensic scientist/Detective, Tropical Resort Manager. Is there a theme there?

I am not living vicariously through my children, most especially my artist daughter but I would love for my fellow forum members to visit my daughter's My Space page because she does fabulous work. http://www.myspace.com/katzbodyart
She and a girlfriend have just started up a production company named 'Eva West' as well.
Kat's website is almost finished being created/constructed and I will post that address when it is up and running.
My daughter is by no means an amateur with her art so please, visit her My Space page

I work part time as a child care assistant, as well as studying for my diploma children's services and full time mum to 2 beautiful boys

I've worked with children since I was 16/17. Then a child care assistant... then group leader for my pre-preps for a few years now having completed the 1st year of a teacher degree.

BUT NONE of this whilst running a household which includes 2 boys... very impressive ozdvl
