Personally, university was a waste of time and money. If I knew what I actually wanted to do with my life, I could have leveraged those four years to help me get there.
Live and learn. |

I don't know exactly why, but this had me laughing more than most comments in the c0r these days.
Straight logic, I approve. |

Sure, I guess, if you actually had a house of your own to return to. |

I'm a freelance programmer and web developer. I work in a shared creative space called The Thought Fort, it's pretty rad. I can't stand working from home, it was so boring and lonely. Also, freelancing is cool but I am well and truly realising the value of having a boss to keep you on task :tongue2
As of next week I may be moving back into a full time job as a web developer for another company, been for one interview and it's pretty good so far. :gsmile: |

right now with not being well, I do what I can which is to help look after our grandmother who has problems with her mobility now having worked manual labour all of her life. it's rewarding helping somebody who has spent much of the last 30 years giving all of us grandchilden a good upbringing but sad to see somebody who was so independant struggling with everyday tasks that you've got so used to seeing them doing. Until 6 years or so ago she thought nothing of walking the dogs with us for miles, keeping up with a brisk pace, and climbing ladders to help with jobs almost bouncing up the rungs with anticipation.
My absolute dream careers are two things which are very different.
Firstly, Volunteering with captive breeding programmes in Africa with Lions, elephants and other creatures, hand raising them and allowing them to be released into the wild to try and replenish the numbers which are so lacking through hunting/poaching and mismanagement.
Secondly, I have a massive love for french cuisine, most notably pastry where there is some amazing technique and flavour combinations and would love to make things like this to sell to people3 from the awe inspiring croqembouche, used often as a wedding cake in france - which is profitteroles, filled with boozy cream (often grand marnier) and finished with spun sugar.
To some of the small assembled things like these
And the awesome things like croissants, pan aux chocolat/raisins and cinammon swirls, tartes etc

I work for a large pharmaceutical company as a pharmaceutical representative, specialising in cholesterol and previously hypertension as well. Looking to move into product management in the near future as I like what marketing involves, and I'm a little bit bored of sales.
In terms of career prospects, you'd be hard pressed to find a better industry or company to grow in. Sales reps can be cut quite quickly and brutally but a smart person knows which company to work for and at what time, so that can be negated.
I never wanted to go into sales but I knew I would need it in the long run. At the end of the day you have to experience what your sales force experiences before you can do a good job in management or other divisions. I've settled into it over the last few years and while there's times when I feel like a glorified drug pusher, there's other times when I've seen the changes made to patients lives and their families so it balances out.
Considering I'm only 24 and where I'm at right now, as well as the potential in the next 5-10 years, I can't complain. Every job has it's problems, as does every company but I could be doing far far faaaar worse than I am currently.
(I swear this is like the 35th time I've written a post like this in virtually the same thread though...) |
