Self employed sculptor/scenic artist, but I get my work through my union. I do a lot of overtime when there is work, so I can comfortably pay my bills on as little as 36ish weeks of work a year if I have to.
I'm well respected in my industry and good at my job. I usually like the work, but there are times like last night when I supervised a sandblasting project until 12:30 at night, when I think about doing something clean, quiet, and stress free, like operating a jackhammer on a construction site.

SoOoOoo, since earning an MA in May of 2011, I have been laid off 5 times, on jobs not related at all to my former career experience or in a field of interest where I can utilize skills sets I have earned since May of 2011.
For me, my worksearch each day is not an ordinary exercise I commit my time and energy too. It's difficult finding paid work and in particular, because I'm on a last round of emergency-tiered unemployment benefits (which are painfully small - it's less than my basic monthly cost of living), I've taken to developing field notes - ethnographic accounts - of the particular barriers I face while competing to be hired for a job. Here's a "snapshot" of a identifiers and driving influences associated with use of a particular item identified. A sample of items I record: age related practices, class practices, sex & gender based practices, company culture (-/+), power structure: Culture of Obedience (top down) or if the company employs bottom-up practices, etc., to items pertaining to whether a company fosters collaborative efforts in a community-based ways to items related to the what the company feels constitutes Green or Sustainability industry standards (if there's any trend to note on social responsibility, toward that end). I also look at how long it takes to complete a company's work application and mechanistic features that drive the application process.I do this for myself because it's a feasible way for me to develop a record of barriers I face and there have been a few times I have taken my notebook with me to mandantory appts at the employment office, because agents are frustrated with how it is that I can't find a job, and I show them my matrix. The look on each person's face is priceless.

I have been in the same line of work for 15 years despite that time having been spent with two different districts. I love working in education, however I hate that the government still ranks education on the lowest of priorities and as a result I can barely make ends meet half the year.

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 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.
