The Beard Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm the director of student activities at a university. For that I'm the advisor for the student senate and student activities committee and oversee the proper functioning of the rest of the student organizations. Entertainment events like dances, hypnotists, magicians, craft nights, etc are what I help students plan as well as big things like homecoming and family weekend. I also tutor math/physics on the side. For finding time to work out, my work hours are 8-5 and then usually 9PM and later if there is an event so I get time right after work to go to the university's wellness center. 2 Quote Level 3 Bearded Assassin Str: 10 Dex: 9 Sta: 6 Con: 7 Wis: 4 Cha: 3 Current Challenge: Respawn Past Challenges: 1 2 3 Daily Battle Log Album "I'm not losing weight.

JessOfAllTrades Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Currently a student again, but I used to be a high school history teacher. I'm working towards my counseling degree and plan to go back into schools. Graduation in t-minus 98 days! I think my favorite random job though was a ghost tour guide in Gettysburg, PA. Lots of fun. 3 Quote Storytelling Rebel | Blog | Twitter "“You've seen my descent, now watch my rising." ~ Rumi Link to comment
iatetheyeti Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I've had kind of a varied run of jobs, as far as these things go. Sales assistant, kennel hand, volunteer (trainee-ish) ranger, sales assistant, museum dogsbody, car wash attendant... Currently doing the student thing and trying to find some work on the side. So far my only paid work (that of a race marshal) has been sporadic at best. 3 Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

AmandaM Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm a legal assistant at a personal injury law firm. My job is to make sure the lawyers have what they need, when they need it. I spend my day composing letters, transcribing dictations, filing documents, sorting and editing clinical records. The lawyers I work for are great, but sometimes I wish I was doing more with my life. I write in my spare time, and I'm getting close to having something to submit to agents. Whee, progress! 6 Quote 6th kyu in AikidoI write stuff in my spare timeI love Star Trek Link to comment
AlterStephen Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm an assistant manager at a movie theater, and will be going back to school this summer. I intend to become a filmmaker, concert promoter, author, and personal trainer. I know that's a lot, but I'm passionate about all those things, and can't decide which one I want the most, so I figured what the hell -- let's try all of them. I hope to have my first book, co-written with my best friend since middle school, published and on the shelves by the end of 2015. 3 Quote "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you.

Spider-Doug Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I was an Art Director for an advertising agency (and worked in advertising in varying capacities for about 10 years) but last year I left and started a BA in Anthropology. I got to 34 years old and thought "F**k it, I've always wanted to be an Archaeologist", so I'm starting to make that happen. 7 Quote STR0 DEX0 STA0 CON0 WIS0 CHA0 Link to comment
ytterbium Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I translate transportation research from science into English on behalf of several state departments of transportation. Previously, I spent 10 years in the perpetually dying magazine publishing industry. What I'd like to be doing is communications/marketing for a science museum.

It's been a fun path from chemist to IT admin.My friend's father took a similar path into IT, so you'll probably appreciate this story: The place he was working for had just purchased a used storage tank from a local dairy, and they wanted to clean it before use, so they were going to use what they usually did for cleaning - hydrogen peroxide. My friend's dad said, "That's not a good idea", and they said, basically, "You're the IT guy, what do you know?". So Dad just stood at the other end of the lot while they proceeded to empty a 55 gal. drum of H2O2 into the tank. As they were cleaning up the resultant mess, Dad said, "Maybe you should have remembered that you hired me as a chemist, and I'm only running IT because the rest of you were too stupid to learn to run a computer." 7 Quote Tomu-san - Level 3 HalfOgre Ranger [ STR 2 | DEX 2 | STA 3 | CON 8 | WIS 6 | CHA 2 ] Spoiler "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
