I'm a full-time student at Virginia Tech, but I work part-time as an animal caretaker and veterinary assistant in a local small animal clinic. I hope to begin a career in animal welfare after I graduate this spring.
Hmmm... Interesting! I've been (or was) a carpenter/cabinet maker/contractor/painter/whatever you wanna call it ever since I got out of high-school (too many years ago to think about)
I've been working 6 years in the home improvement business here in Canada (like Home Depot) but I'm getting the URGE to go back to my roots....
Time will tell. In the meantime, I do the odd-job here and there, and am constantly building furniture, etc for the house.. *jumps as MJ cracks the whip*
wish i did something interesting like that...im at school...yeah year 11 sucks...especially coz im doing the hard maths...damn quadratics and polynomials
its really cool that people from all different jobs and all different countries can have the same interest in music
...and rattus if u can play the piano, go for that job...so when people ask what ur job is u can say it and be serious!!! and then see the look on their faces...like mine when i thought u were serious
Yo tambien, moi aussi (no pun intended)Really, this is fun, how people have gotten together, even the whiners--sorry--around music!but also, the Boomtown Rats & Sir Bob have something going or we wouldn't be here like this. Who will answer next??
I am a hospice/palliative care , specialist counselor...primary role to assemble a team of medical professionals, family, volunteers to provide support to the terminal patient who can no longer benefit in curative treatment rather concentrate on the quality of their remaining life. I usually work with the patients who wish to live their remaining days at home.
I have taken a year's hiatus, working on my second book....
The first is a book on how children cope with loss and bereavement , whether it is a parent, close family member, a long time family pet which could be a fish. Children have a unique innocent way of expressing themselves and deal with loss in a far better way than most adults. I used my son's experiences as a then 6 year old coping during the course of my mother's illness and subsequent death from AIDS. How her decline and eventual Aids related dementia affected him. There are many anecdotes from others who had experienced similiar loss.. Currently it is being used as a learning tool for training procedures, teaching volunteers on how to approach children and talk to them about death. Currently not released for public reading
The second one is a book of poetry, short stories and prose. Still in the works.....
Work as an ergonomist...or health and safety if you're not sure...
(get to work with hunky firefighters looking at heat stress - so need them to take off their clothing!! and visit lots of different companies from bottling plants to nuclear power stations).
Oh yes, mine has changed from the beginning of this topic. I am currently a business manager at a Friesian horse & Great Dane farm/organization. It's cool sometimes but frustrating other times. Basically I just got thrown into organizing all the farm owner's crap that he's extremely behind on...hard to organize/record stuff if I don't know what it is or where it came from. But the Danes are a lot of fun & the horses are nice to look at.

Really, Friesian horses! They come from close to where I grew up, from Friesland (part of northern Germany). I used to love them when I was a kid - they're just so huge!
I did horse riding for many years, my favourites were always Icelanders. Small but strong and they have five "gears"! (I have no idea how you put this in proper English, LOL!)
For a living: I'm an online editor for an online magazine aimed at young people who're interested in politics. Currently, I write all about the upcoming elections here in Germany.
They are huge & so cool looking. This guy's into big, tame animals.
Pay is decent, oeokosko - Maryland is better than Virginia, pay-wise (I've worked in both areas, huge difference in the animal career field pay).
I've heard of Icelanders before - they're cute "Gears..." hmm...do you mean gaits (different types of movement...walk, trot, canter, tolt, rack, etc.) or speeds?
ah well we at st. peters visual arts college (we only became a college 3 months ago but hey) enjoy the pleasures of the worlds most vile brown blazers.
