What is Your Employment Situation?

I don't remember if I posted before, so will post anyway...

I am a high school administrator. I never thought that I would choose to be in education or stay in education but somehow I became passionate. I walk the halls of the school and know every student's name, their history, and at least one thing they are interested in. I enjoy the idea that I might make a difference even if I never know it. The possibility is there and that's kinda incredible.

I do have other dreams and one day I may follow them, but for now I continue on this path I'm on. Everything happens for a reason, right?

I changed jobs a month ago. Same field, different title, different organization. I love the organization. Love the flexible schedule. Strongly dislike the mess the last case manager left for me. I cuss him out daily. I'll get it smoothed out eventually.

I am the director of a large and busy sign language interpreting agency! I have no life, I work 24/7, I'm always tired but it's all worth it

I am the clinical director of a program for children and families. I supervise 24 clinicians and case managers. I always end up working over 40 hours per week but I love it. I am also in a PhD program that I am enjoying as well. It's very busy but I really enjoy my work and my PhD program.

I'm a mechanical engineer. Well, actually I'm an aerospace engineer working in the capacity of a mechanical engineer. I work for a telecommunications company that manufactures various GPS and antennas. I'm sort of the "fireman" around the office. On any given day, I could be designing a new product, building prototypes, testing, troubleshooting a customer issue, or fixing a problem on the production line. I spend a lot of time drawing and working with various equipment and power tools. Each day is a bit of an adventure because I don't know what the day will bring.

My field of work is in Public Safety and I work along side with engineers, executives and property management owners. I work more than full time. I am usually on site, working complex 12 hour rotations of duty. I love where I work and will stay with this career, until I retire.

Hi,

I am an Environmental Scientist. My specialties include aquatic biology and endangered species. I conduct field surveys for endangered species and aquatic systems. The purpose of my work is to identify and catalog existing conditions then determine the impacts on that habitat or aquatic system by an action. In addition, I recommend and manage mitigation projects to improve the habitat or aquatic system.

I love my work and have spent almost 20 years walking across the US to survey the indigenous flora and fauna including the flora and fauna found only in aquatic systems.

Currently I am focused on coastal processes, restoration, and mitigation.
