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!

Ex lorry driver, now working for the DVSA as a driving test examiner.

PR.

I'm a quantity surveyor. I'm only working my way up due to the recession and my locality.
I never wanted to move away due to family etc so I'm only getting the opportunity to really gain experience now.
My dh has just started to retrain as a qs as well. He has wanted to retrain for the past few years so is taking the opportunity now to do it.
I'm always afraid I'm doing something wrong or I'm missing something.

Wonder will I ever stop feeling like this??

Education department for an LA. I generally cause trouble and boss Headteachers around - I love it

I work in social housing as an Asset surveyor. Doing epc's, stock condition surveys, asbestos reinspections. Love it & could write a book (was a hairdresser for over 20 years, so never write anything off!!)

Trialsmum - can I ask what that entails? I have a SEN child and have been a TA and pre school teacher in the past and want to work with SEN children but unsure what route to take!

Distance tutor, lecturer, classroom assistant, freelance assessor ... Basically, I have a cluster of part-time and rather insecure jobs that enable me to care for my family.

Solicitor. I love my job.

Got two degrees from an RG university.

Work in a call centre.

I'm 29, and I know I'd like to be a proofreader, but it takes years to build up a client base, so I'm just working through the training and dreaming of something better.

Project manager for a large corporation you all have heard of. I worked my way up. I like the company and the people and have been there for 20 years now.

Pawnbroker

Welfare Rights Officer with my local authority

Love my job however I'm currently on MAT leave and due back in 6 weeks - I am NOT looking forward to it. I'm heartbroken tbh

Support worker. Currently studying BSL in the hope of becoming a Communication Support Worker.

Hair stylist/salon manager
I love it. Flexible working, work on weekends when hubs is home so save on child care. Free hairdressing for myself and great discount on products. Always training and learning new techniques. Constantly need to adapt and challenge myself.
NO two days are ever the same.

I'm a nurse, work in haematology

Police here, started early 20s not my dream job- done it 10 years now so hard to match the wage in other places once mortgages and kids get in the way. Love to change career but who knows to what!!

I work in a children's nursery. Have a level 3 qualification in early years, safeguarding, first aid, health and safety.
I'm also a qualified hairdresser with a City & Guilds.
I'm going to try and get a job teaching in Pre School again as I much prefer it to nursery.

SLT in the NHS. It’s awful. My colleague broke her leg recently and is so happy about it because she gets a long time off work. Everyone else in our team is so jealous of her.
I’ve just got a new job (not NHS) so hopeful it will be better. It couldnt be any worse.

Investment banker. It’s dull as fuck but I’ve been doing it for over 20 yrs now and nothing else would pay as well.

25 with DD4.

Currently manage the accounts for a small company but currently re training in Microbiology.

I’m 28 and work in the civil service.

I’m a qualified MFL teacher, but couldn’t get a permanent job, and after having DD (now almost 3) I decided I needed something more secure than temporary contracts or daily supply.

Hi @User07964 can I just ask why SLT is so awful? government cuts, too much work and too little pay? Or something else?

Nurse in a care home

I make stink bombs and sell them on ebay and to joke shops

I'm a teacher - I work in an SEN school. I love it - always have and always will! Best job ever!
