to ask what you do for a living?

[TeapotsInJune]

Currently in teaching, and HATE it!

Any inspirational ideas? Xx

I am a travelling gastric band adjuster

Professional scrounger. It doesn't pay that well but the holidays are fucking excellent.

Doing a PGCE, living off my loan and my parents, had to move back in with them to study.

I am a cheese and pie seller! I work for Simon the pieman! market stalls, fayres, country shows. You name it, I'm there selling pies. It's great!

International Supermodel and Rock Star Groupie..

then I wake up, get up, and carry on selling vintage jewellery..

Why do you hate it?

Could you be a foster carer? or private tutor?

I have always fancied being the vicar of Dibley myself

I work with figures.

Lol how did you train for the gastric band thing!?

(I'd need one if I sold cheese and pies!)

I'm an ex-teacher. Get out, if you hate it. Really.

Tassle tester - go on, give them a twirl!

Account Director in the contact centre industry. I could build you a blueprint call centre out of Lego. Probably.

Marketing Manager, retrained as teacher, currently SAHM for few years.

serin I do fancy the idea of foster carer although I'd really need to sort my house out first. Thanks for reminding me of that.

I just feel permanently stressed. We're in notice to improve, the head is stressed, everyone is stressed. It's awful.

I'm thinking "different school" but haven't been at this one all that long and didn't see out my first year due to pregnancy, which wasn't planned (I know, I did feel bad about it, honestly.)

I just can't enjoy Christmas as I feel stressed all the time!

web developer

Journalist.

I am a retired teacher-I always loved the job but dont think I could do it now.

Ninky, do you worry about your pension (that's all DH can talk about; I think he has a touch of OCD at times, I really do!)

LOL, if you want to move into the private sector you might want to get used to working 10 hour days 48 weeks a year.

But yes, I'd rather do this than work with other peoples children.

Was a fashion model for a very ,very long time...

now, I am a sahm :)

What do you like doing OP, what are you good at? What did you want to be when you grew up? Find the honest answers to those questions, and you're halfway there.

Im self employed and contract for most of the big retailers as a fashion graphic designer. S'alright, like

im currently a student (and community artist arf)
hopefully in a few years i can put on a thread like this that im a mental health nurse.fingers crossed

I thought a different school was the answer, but it was frying pan/fire. Left 12 years ago and never looked back. Done all sorts since, learned loads. Teaching is a trap.

Mmm, well, I am a very caring person, and have been told I'm a very good writer. My degree is in English.

I wanted to be a vet when I was in primary school! I don't think I have very much chance of that! I suppose I could look into something loosely related (I do like animals, although my own drive me potty on a good day!)

I definitely like the idea of foster carer. I'm also very good computer-wise and know my way around them pretty well: typing and other similar skills are very good.

Ummm ... that is probably it!

sahm and MN lurker
hoping to re-train as a nurse when babies are a bit older

Depends which job you would want me to tell you about! I am a foster carer, i also manage a project for people with Mental health issues, I am also owner of a dog walking company and I provide cover for sickness/holidays etc in my sister's day nursey! In my spare time i am a parent for a child with learning disabilities.
