To ask what you do for a living?

[LetsHaveAnotherGo]

I'm almost 30, married with two DC.. and still have no idea what I want to be I am educated to degree level (law) and would consider going back into education if it were for a job I'd love, but I just have no idea what that is.

Currently a retail manager, and used to think I'd enjoy working in a school but done some voluntary work in DD's school last year and have now ruled that out.

So please tell me what you do, just throw ideas my way!

I'm an academic at an RG university.

It's a great job- lots of freedom, I get to do interesting research, most students are great, I set my own hours, I work from home 3-4 days a week, I don't feel overwhelmed by pressure, I get paid a good salary relative to what I actually do.

It's getting harder and harder to get academic jobs nowadays but the best people do make it through.

Workforce planning, but looking to move into Learning & Development.

If I could pick anything to retrain in, it would be quantity surveying.

I work in construction but mostly I just make super fancy awesome whizzy spreadsheets all day. Sometimes I get to walk around building sites with a hard hat and a clipboard looking important. My favourite bits are sitting in meetings with vaaiir important construction types professing that I know the absolute mostest about what we need to do because I add up all the numbers at the end of the day, so my word is LAW. I like it very much

Ha, CaseStudy, that's technically what I do!

Pastoral support in a high school. Love it but want to be SLT eventually so going back to studies to help me progress.

I tutor GCSE students part time, which gives me a lovely combination of not working much and earning some money!

Its great for now while DC are small (and we are likely to have DC5 at some point in the next few years too) but I want to re-train and become a social worker once they are all at school.

Accountant.

Call centre manager. If I had my time again I'd be a paramedic.

R and D Scientist, currently in the private sector although have worked in the NHS and academia

Operations manager in health and social care

Love what I do and started my career (like you i have a law degree) working in Prisons , Addiction services and Rehabs. I think I've been incr3dibly fortunate in the career I've had ... lots of luck and it's interesting

I work in hr for a medium sized company, I love my job and can’t inafibe doing anything else.

Can I ask why you're not doing something in the legal profession if you have a law degree?

Foster carer.
Love it, very hard work but so rewarding.
Never get a day off, holiday pay or sick pay but wouldn’t change it for the world.

Lawyer. Love it, wouldn’t do anything else (until I complete my best selling novel, sell the film rights and retire as a milionaire)

Peripatetic Teacher of the Deaf....absolutely adore it!

I do what @CaligulaBlushed does.

I make myself look mega busy, get on my high horse every now and then, and generally make loads of money. Actually, most of the time I'm doing very little and get paid a ton to do so

Massage therapist in people’s own homes

£40 an hour, steady income, can take my baby to work, drop the kids off and pick them up every day, don’t need to pay for childcare and love what I do.

Sales Director - would have loved to join the police force but my parents were having none of it!
