whether it's paid work, volunteer work or an internship, i believe almost everyone here has had a job before.

What was your favorite job ever? What is your current job? What was your last job? What is your dream job?

what are your future career and job goals?

My first job was on the campus of the Ohio State University. I worked in the dorm cafeteria. Cooked, cleaned and served food to college students. it was a fun job but damn if those kids were sloppy and disgusting. It was embarrassing.

My last job was as a teacher's aide in a preschool. i helped watch the children and pass out snacks and do fun activities. it was a nice job and i loved it alot. i was sad when I got laid off.

currently I'm a home health aide for special needs children. The family I care for during the week as 2 kids, one being autistic. i arrive right before they get home from school. I help with their homework and cook dinner for them. After dinner we usually sit and watch movies and then i tuck them into bed and read them a story. After that their dad arrives home and I go home for the night and I see them again the next day. I only work 3 days a week though since I am still in school. the 2 days off allow me a good time to rest and study.

On alternate Saturdays, i care for another child. He's disabled. I arrive their early and help him get dressed and cook his breakfast. We sit and play games or watch movies then I make his lunch. After lunch we play a bit more and then I leave to come home.

My job is a bit exhausting but it's so much fun. I really enjoy working with children and it's even better working with those who cant quite help themselves. It makes me thankful for what i can do and what my daughter can do.

When I finish school I hope to become a school counselor at an elementary school or a social worker. Either one will make me happy since I can help kids which is my ultimate goal in life, to help as many kids as I can.

My dream job is being a TNA KO...cause i want to wrestle a cage match, dammit!! lol

My first job was......yard work for my aunt. I'd go every two weeks and do yard work and she's pay by buying me a CD or...paying me money lol. It was fun, it took me FOREVER to do little work...but was fun.

My last job was working with my dad, he own his own electrical company. I had to do electrical work, to this day, still hate it lol...BUT it twas fun doing almost nothing lol. And I will admit i learned a lot.

My current job is my internship, which is basicly doing administrative work for this company. Sending invoices and shit. It's okay, hate it, but it's for my study so must do it.

My fave was probably being a Camp Counceler, which i did for 3 summers.It was amazingly fun, tiring, the kids are awesome. They just make you hate em and love em at the same time. Really amazing experience.

I want to go into advertising. Doing marketing and stuff. That is basically my goal right now.

My dream job? I'd probably want to own my own TV network and work on creating original programming. Actualy i'd love to write and star in my own TV series. I actually have a Pilot writtin with several Idea's and a whole season worth of a script. Just not sure who i should leave read it yet lol. It's one of those teeny bopper drama's but I like it and it's kinda awesome lol.

I currently volunteer in a charity shop, and cos my mother is the Assistant Manager there I do sorta get paid. More bribed but what the hey.

I've not had a job before that, the purpose of this one is so that I can get a reference for jobs when I go to Uni.

Dream job would be to work as a curator in the Natural History Museum in London. Always loved history, thats what I want to do.

My first job was as an Apprentice in the After School Matters Tech 37 program. We leard the basics of Web design, HTML, computer networking, and graphic design. I was paid $5 an hour and we NEVER got our little $90 checks on time, they were ALWAYS late. Our first check was 3 weeks late, and I hated that shit. I could never make plans for how I wanted to spend my money, because I never knew when I was going to get my money. It got so bad that most of the kids end up quitting because they were tired of being at the school from 8am to 7pm and not getting paid. We ended working a month and a half and never got a check, and it wasn't just the Tech 37 members that wasn't getting paid, it was EVERY group there. The program started out with 150 kids and ended with 40.

My second job I was once again with the Afterschool Matters program except this time I was in the Word 37 club, we made newspapers and commercials, our checks were still late, but not as late as they were when I was in tech 37, though one week I only got paid 15 damn dollars, because someone screwed up my check and when they wouldn't fix it, I quit. One of the instructors had me come back though because she really liked me. But I was completely uninterested in the program when I returned, so I usually just showed up and did nothing but collect a late ass check.

My third job was with The Chicago Park District. I was a seasonal Rec-Leader. I was in charge of organizing and supervising activities for 32, 11-12 year old boys. It was fun because my friend Kanisha worked there too, so we got to hang out for the entire summer. But there was this chick there that made it her mission to get rid of me, she hated me with a fucking passion and I loved it!!!!!!! Her hatred for me like was like a big tub of warm bubbly water and I bath in it every day. She tried everything she could to get me fired, the lies she told our supervisor were amazing!!! Every morning he'd call me into his office to tell me about "The Misadventures of Shawn", well at least that's what I called it. Finally once her stories got dull and boring I had my sister come up there to beat her ass, but the chick locked herself in our supervisor's office and wouldn't come out. They then had a huge meeting about it, because the other 2 supervisors heard about what had been happening and they felt things were getting out of hand, she told them that when we were in the pool I gave her a threatening look and she was scared for her life, I then laughed and she got upset started crying and stormed out, the meeting was pretty much over after that. They told me to ignore her and her stories, because they had been secretly watching me and none of the stuff she said happened actually happened, except for my sister coming up there and me threatening to drown her ass.

Now I'm more of a wedding photographer/invitation maker. I recently filmed my cousin's wedding and the videos and photos came out amazingly spectacular!!! So then my Uncle asked me to film his wedding and take pics so I did, and those came out amazing as well, then after that my cousin's wife who's going to school to be a wedding planner gave me a call and told me that she was hiring me to be the photographer with her company and I accepted the offer, so I've been working with her to help get things started, she called me yesterday and told me that her sister's college saw some of the flyers and invitations I did for a few beauty salons and they wanted me to make their College Graduation Invitations so now I have to make 750 invitations before May 2. So far I've made 2. Well it was actually 3, but I lost one.

I'm currently doing a marketing degree, so I'm sort of doing a work-training kind of thing where I work and study at the same time to get experience in working.

So I work in a marketing role in a sport club nearby. So I sort of help give ideas about what could be good for sales, and things like that...

Oh! Forgot, I have a £15000 a year job lined up for when I go to Uni, provided by the Army. Which means I'm likely to start a career in the Army after Uni. That should cover at least 8 years (Uni included).

VLG - the cute, rich, history buff

Starship Pain, you'll probably make really good money doing that.

Kevin - you are very creative. i could see you writing your own tv shows.

Tank - I'd hire you to photograph my wedding but i'd rather have you there to give me away

I have about 5 weeks left till I sit my Maths exam. After that, the only thing that will make me do it again is if I fail AND don't get into Uni.

So, I'm pretty sure most of you know what I do. I have not had a paying job yet but I do Volunteer with the Rescue Squad. I am looking to obtain my EMT-B and depending how that goes maybe my EMT-E. I am currently in E-VOC(Emergency Vehicle Operator Course) where I test on the driving part this Sunday. I have already passed the written part. If I pass on Sunday, which I know I will because no one fails. They wont let you leave until you pass. I do have to be 19 to drive the Ambulance due to insurance so it will be another year before I am able to drive the Ambulance but I will have my E-VOC license. I am looking to get my Class 3's which means I can drive Ambulances, Serv(it's a Tahoe), Squad 4(a small jeep) and Firetrucks. I am only getting the Firetrucks just incase of a county emergency requiring a lot of fire trucks and them may needing a driver. I'm very excited about becoming a driver. I can't wait to start EMT class, either.

As for my dream job, I'm obviously going into Accounting. That's pretty well known as well. I do not have a certain place in mind to work but I just want a job in Accounting, wherever or whatever it may be.

I wanted to be an accountant...was thinking of doing accountancy....then i heard i have to do some Law as well....i was hell nah lol....soo good luck lool.

My previous jobs have been as a barmaid, nursery nurse, supermarket worker and voluntary job in catering for a sports club.

Now I'm the manager of two schemes where people with learning disabilities and mental health issues live. I support 6 clients and manage a team of about 8 staff. It's a pretty full on job especially as some of our clients can be physically and verbally abusive , but at the same tine, they can be very funny.

My dream job would either be running a deli / cafe as I love food, or being a creative writer for the WWE, as I've got so many ideas on how to improve the current product and it would be fascinating to see what everyones like in real life and how all the politics work.
