I intend to do accountancy, thats what I did/am doing at college, but I'm taking a year out and for now I work Mon- Fri in a private school, and weekends as a domestic in the hospital.

My other jobs have included:

Chef
Dog Trainer
SSPCA worker
Stable hand
Book keeper
Call centre sales
Machinist/Curtain maker

All you young uns who can't wait to grow up....don't wish your life away. Working is mostly a pain, especially if you aren't lucky and you hate your job. OK, honestly working sucks, so enjoy your youth, what I wouldn't give to only have to go to school every day again....lol Laughing

First job out of high school was the Army, during the first Gulf War. Since, I've managed restaurants and did office work and now build houses.

Oh haha Ghost Riders was just the name of my Platoon, there were four platoons in my company (Charlie Company aka Cougars) There was Scorpions, Wolf Pack, Ghost Riders, and Death Dealers.

I haven't read John Ringo has he wrote? And thats pretty cool RZ Smile

I have always wanted to have a farm, but of course I can't haha

Linksage I am sure you will find something, and you won't run out of time Wink

Thats a lot Cosmosxx haha wow, must have been fun being a chef?

See thats what I did Alabama, except for the fact I am still in HS, I am a senior now, they have made it so you can join as a JR and you are 17, which is what I did. I tell you though, it really sucks going to high school after you have been to basic.

Cosmox, you realize we;re setting ourselves up to be writers? It would take a couple of pages to list everything Ive done, bearing in mind that I have occasionally worked 2-3 jobs, and am rapidly becoming a doddling old fart

I graduate as a veterinarian on the 5th of December. That's what my job is going to be.

Before that I sold stationary over summer holidays and ran a stall at a market.

The courses are changing to 5 or 6 years in Australia. I believe it's longer overseas.

Pet groomer here. Been doing it for almost 19 years now: I occsionally handstrip and groom a few of my clients for show, but for the most part, I have to try to make pets with improper and damaged coats and equally-difficult temperaments and/or medical conditions look as nice as possible while keeping them as comfortable as possible. Above all, my motto is "Humanity before vanity!"

I got my Bachelor's in Elementary Education with a minor in Biology and taught at apublic school along with my night job tutoring at Sylvan learning center until I suffered Congestive Heart Failure in 2000. I re-prioritized and went back to grooming.

My very first job was working at a stable. I didn't have my driver's license then, and Mom got tired of driving me 20 minutes for 3 hours' work, so she made me quit. I was soooo angry at her! Of course, since this was back in 1990, I've forgiven her! Laughing

That's where I'm at right now, but who knows where I'll be in a few years! You never can tell...
