Wow. That's pretty crazy. Will the bus driving gig pay more?

Woohoo!! Go Cole!! So glad you are changing work!
Watch your back with bus driving though. Most companies cover massage therapy for their drivers, take advantage of that!

Currently working doinf a job but the company is just crazy, I always put myself at crazy jobs (masochist

) but I have a side job that I love so I am working to cultivate my side job so I can quit the crwzy job and enjoy life.

I have extended experience in the healing arts but my headspace is not right for that at this time.

cinnamongrrl · 04-30-2016, 09:12 AM

My situation doesn't fit the cubby holes of categorization.

I technically "work" full time but more than half of my 40hrs is spent in school. After I complete the program I will be working 40 hrs (or more) at ONE job. For the first time in about...thinking...wow...12 years...

MissItalianDiva · 04-30-2016, 09:36 AM

I work 70 plus hour weeks typically. Lucky to love what I do but I am definitely my father's daughter. He had an amazing work ethic and it rubbed off

JDeere · 05-05-2016, 07:59 PM

This upcoming job will be manufacturing of make up products, I am not really sure what it all entails but I will find out come Monday!

I work for a temp agency for now.

Venus007 · 05-06-2016, 05:45 PM

I am a physician educator by day but I have a side gig as a consultant. I am working 3 jobs all told at the moment. If I can keep up the pace I may have my student loans paid off before I retire.

Lecheloco · 07-14-2016, 08:17 AM

I finally got myself down to 1 full time gig, I am the head honcho

TL1 · 07-14-2016, 08:28 AM

I work with mortgages....

I like it partly because it's possible to make really good money. (Bonus) And I have made some good money. And I happen to like money. So I have been doing it for 3 years.

Zimmeh · 07-14-2016, 10:29 AM

Transitioning from working retail to being a nursing assistant. I am scared but excited about what my future holds.

Currently home on short term disability, should be back to my logistics job in about 3 weeks

Kätzchen · 08-07-2016, 06:56 AM

Weeks ago, I interviewed for an alternate situation of employment and was officially hired on, two weeks ago.
I ended my former employment in good standing and will assume my new role on campus, tomorrow.

I'm thrilled because it will be the first time ever, in my work history, where I will benefit from a fully paid, employer sponsored, health plan that includes vision, dental and overall health care services.

I am so elated: I've waited such a long time for this kind of position of employment. I'm still in awe of the cumulative result of all the steps I've taken to find the right kind of employment situation.

For those who are hurdling challenges, like I have for the past two or three years, don't give up. The best job of your life is out there, somewhere, maybe even closer to you than you think.

I feel very blessed today.
