Careers: What do you do for a living and do you love it?
Come on ladies...What do you do for a living, do you love it and would you consider a career change?
I think I am getting bored of my career and want to change but not sure to what?

Re: Careers: What do you do for a living and do you love it?
I was in computers for a few years... and got tired of the layoffs and the uncertainty in the business world....
So I went back to school, got my masters degree and became a teacher! I just got tenure in a high school on Long Island and I really do like it--but it is the hardest job I have ever had.
Yes, I'm on summer vacation and it's AWESOME... but during the year you are consumed by grading and lesson plans and thinking about your students.
I am glad I made the switch... but it isn't easy!!

Re: Careers: What do you do for a living and do you love it?
I work in advertising and I have always loved it- I have not always loved my job-- but I love it when I am at the right company.
I would consider a career change-- but anything I did would roll up to my skills in advertising and marketing-- so regardless of what I did, it would always be an aspect of my carreer.

Re: Careers: What do you do for a living and do you love it?
I used to have a corporate job (finance) then I played around with floral design & event planning for a few months.
Now I have a real estate appraisal business.
do I love it? no, but I love
the flexibility - that I'm not in an office 9-5
the dress code
that I can work from home and/or take my daughter to the "office"
that I'm not working for the man - I'm working for myself

Re: Careers: What do you do for a living and do you love it?
I work in university administration. I love the mission of the university, and like the atmosphere, but am not particularly thrilled with the pay throughout the university. If I got to do it over I would do school district administration. Higher ed. just doesn't pay that well compared to superintendents/principals/asst principals, though I need a doctorate for my job. I also adjunct teach master's and undergrad classes, which I usually enjoy.
Before this I worked on Wall Street and hated it. Before that I worked in event planning at a Wall Street firm and at the White House. Event planning was fun in theory but involved dealing with a lot of pompous self-absorbed jerks.

Re: Careers: What do you do for a living and do you love it?
I worked at radio advertising company for 6 years in the city. I loved the people that I worked with (and the money) but I hated dealing with the nonstop BS (oh and a crazy lunatic boss)
I now am selling real estate on Long Island. I think it is the perfect job for someone who is planning on having a family in a few years. Very flexible schedule, potential to make lots of $$, and got rid of the psychotic boss!

I'm a 4th grade teacher. I love it and can't imagine doing anything else. Yes, it is a tough job and your day does not end at 3:00 (like everyone thinks), but its a job that's very rewarding.

Re: Careers: What do you do for a living and do you love it?
I work in higher education. I work in the Office of Admissions and I teach. I LOVE my job. The pay was not so great in the beginning but since I have moved up the ladder to a new position. Its a good field for learning and growth depending on where you are.

Re: Careers: What do you do for a living and do you love it?
I run a small non-profit but I'm working on my writing - I write fiction and hope to actually earn a living off of my novels (one day). I will be leaving my job next year though and I'm playing around with the idea of being a ballroom dance teacher.
