So what's everyone's profession here? - Page 4

I'm going to be a writer.

Currently, I work as a server/busser/bartender/dishwasher/cook at a pizza place. I work three times a week, each shift being five hours in length. Pays 8.00 an hour + tips and on average make 16-18 dollars an hour including tips. Certainly the best paying job I've ever had in my life so far, especially considering its pay to actual work ratio. It's a great student job.

In regards to future possibilities? Freelance/Creative writing, English Professor or the forest service seem promising.

I'm still in school, but my job is working as an intern in Electrical Engineering.

Right now, I want to be a lawyer.
I'm thinking of majoring in math.

I'm not sure I've met any lawyers who were actually glad they went into law. For serious. Actually, my dad (ISTJ) likes it. My husband (INTJ) hates it, so do I (INFJ).

At the moment I work at a machine shop. Sometimes it's alright, other times it's absolute shit. Problem is when I'm constantly exhausted at the end of my shift.

I guess the idea of being a freelance writer/journalist would seem a good career for me. Problem is I lack any credentials to go into that line of work. I couldn't see myself doing academic work.

BTW, I concur with the advice of NOT studying law.

Ivy · 08-31-2008, 08:01 PM

Credentials for freelance writing are not as important as connections. I basically fell into it because a friend from college got a job as an editor at a small publishing company and convinced me to try doing a project for them. That was three years and fifteen projects ago. Now, just like that, I have credentials, if I should ever choose to try to freelance for other companies.

Thanks. I often have problems with making the right connections and so on.
