What do you do for a living?

[Tuxie]

Ok... ok.... why don't you just CUT to the chase? :):lol: Did you like the product?

[Tuxgal]

lol @ cut. Yeah, actually I do like their products though in my hands they are dangerous. (to me cuz I'm accident-prone) But, I don't like their products and I don't like their practices. I won't name names, but...if anyone ever offers to come to your house and do a "quick and fun" demonstration with their knives and similar products, just.....say...no! :D :lol:

I work as a cashier (and sandwhich maker, cleaner, coffee maker etc...) for a local convience store. It can b kinda hard at times. But it's a nice active job. No just sitting around and the people I work with are really nice.

I'm a special education teacher. I'd been doing it for over 10 years now, and I'm actually enjoying it. After working in other areas in the past, I knew that this would be my calling in life, when I started working as a day program coordinator for individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). In the classroom, I initially taught students with dyslexia, learning disorders, speech and language delays and emotional/behavioral disorders. Later on, I got into working with individuals with Autism, Down Syndrome, MR and multiple disabilities ... and pretty much it's what I do today. :)

[Sweetpea1022]

I work in a warehouse packaging eye glasses and lenses. Great benefits. I also deliver news papers as a part time gig.

Wow! That's awesome, Stoner! :thumb:

[stoner]

Thank you Pink ... I truly take that as a compliment. :)

When I started working with these individuals, I must admit that I was extremely nervous and had no idea what to do. The only capital needed in this line of work is patience ... and plenty of it. Yes, it's true that their ability to learn and do things are delayed (as per the disability) compared to an average individual, but these peeps are very enthusiastic and are willing to learn as everyone else. When I begin to see them raise the bar up one level, it means the whole world to them while I can just take a step back and quietly give myself a pat in the back. It's the little things that we often take for granted, but these are major obstacles for these individuals, and The festive part of this vocation is when they are able to overcome it. :)

I work in retail. I'm the assistant manager of a charity shop and love every minute of it. Have only worked there just over a month though so its all new to me right now

[Beautiful Mystique]

I work as an Assistant Manager. What I do basically is manage a student academy, make sure everything runs smoothly. It's mentally and physically draining - students can be very rude and think they can disrespect us just because their parents pay a lot for them to study here. I am leaving pretty soon to pursue my own business so I am looking forward to that and working hard for it to happen by the end of this year!

If everything goes well, who knows... we can all meet up at my new guest house! ;)
