I would like to know what career path people have chosen and if they are truly happy with what they do. I work as a freelancer and am extremely happy, but my husband is a mechanic and is miserable working for the company he has been with almost a decade. If he could change employers he would, but we can't afford to cut his pay in half or more.

Im a CPA working in public accounting. I am still figuring out where I want to go and what I want to be. Traveling is not the greatest
-
I am currently still studying business administration. Would love to work in HR positions but I've heard it is hard to get into.
-
I'm a disabled nobody working on getting paid to be a free adviser to those who want advice from someone who's "been there."

I am now retired. But i chose retail when i was working. Loved working there. Everyone was so nice (well execpt for a few) and my bosses were like family. I miss working but as time goes by and he older i get the worse my back gets from wrecks. (not my fault) I still like being around a few people at a time. now.

Yep, marriage & family are the backbone of society (though 'schooling' tries to take their place (under the name "education")). Schooling is to 'education' as the medical-industry is to the immune-system :-( I hope you can consider my responses as 'freelance consulting,' and/or that I can learn more about the psychology of relationships from you!

I'm working on becoming a CPA. But in all honesty, I'm not sure if it's the right path for me. I'm having a hard time getting a job as it is cause I lack experience.
Mythociate, I should talk to you if ever I need counseling. Hope you won't charge. LOL! xD

@Jiuchan -- you can always work in public accounting with a CPA -- if you earn your CPA license any public accounting firm would interview and love to have you, guarantee it.

I think of 'my office' as more of an 'online "monastery on a mountaintop" (like where the hero goes to hear the wisdom of the guru :-)) )'---'the monastery' being FusionCash's Community Forum. I 'added you to my Buddy-List,' and hope to serve as one of the many responders to your online cry-for-help 0:-)

I chose to go to a vocational school and get my certificate in Medical Billing. I am making decent money and have room to grow so I am happy with my choice
-
I have worked as a housekeeper, a Clerk/Receptionist, an Accounting Clerk, and an Accounts Technician for over 20 years. I love the Accounting/Finance and the Administrative/Clerical fields. I sincerely hope that you decide on your career path. I am looking to rejoin the workforce, and I hope I won't have that hard of a time. :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:

I'm studying to become a civil and structural engineer. I chose this because I love drawing and designing buildings.

Man.... I'm still trying to figure that out.... I'm in school now and doing odd jobs on the side occasionally
-
I am currently disabled. But when I was working, my primary job was working with Ford. And years ago I worked with the NYC DEP.

It seems like we are the ones whom Jesus 'needs' now---those 'needing a direction' and the disabled, because we are the ones with 'an empty shoulder to carry His cross upon' (though He calls the 'heavy-burdened' to place their crosses at His feet & take up His instead, He need US to snap them out of their 'rut trudging'-stupor ... Amen?)

:) Commercial refrigeration technician for 45 years. Loved it but now am retired and work on internet. :)

... am retired and work on internet. :)
We should be 'internet-cops'---oh, still doin` the "money-making" in our off-hours; but otherwise enforcing 'the way we know the Net should be.' ;)
-
I work in the Life Insurance field. We offer life insurance, disability, long term care and annuities.... I LOVE what I do. Helping people to prepare for life events!

I am not employed currently, but I studied computer science in school and have been trying to learn 3D modeling on my own. If I could have any job, I'd love to sorta combine those two skills. My current plan is to work in the video game industry as either a character modeler or 3D generalist or to work on the coding side developing the AI or the game dynamics.
The biggest problem for me is finding a way to break into the industry and narrowing my scope. I've had many people tell me I can't do all that and I'd be better off choosing just one thing, but the whole scope is fascinating so it's hard to choose just one thing to learn about.

Who could use your services to do what? now

I hate working 9 to 5 jobs. It sucks the life right out of you. I'm very passionate about music. I would love to make a
living as a songwriter or music producer. I've been honing my skills and soon I hope to have a career in music.

What's your focus?

I am retired now but I was a teacher. I was so lucky because I got paid to do something I truly loved doing. I think that is the key; finding a job you truly enjoy. Otherwise work will be just that. The hard part for many people is finding that thing they can get paid to enjoy. That's why I feel I was so lucky because I always knew what I wanted to do.

I think the important thing is to stay focused on the ultimate purpose in life---to endure, to live to the glory of your god. & public school is all about that ... filling young minds with distractions that will make them feel 'accomplished' in doing whatever we taskmasters set them to :angel12:

Right after high school I went to a local community college with journalism in mind. 1/2 way through my first year I was engaged and that took my life in a different direction. I never completed my college education. For nearly 20 years I've "dabbled" in several things... had tons of opportunities to grow and promote in companies utilizing my skills from coaching gymnastics, cake decorator in a wal-mart store to owning my own drywall/home repair business. I'm now in a happy moment... I'm home with my 3 kids again. Although now I'm bringing an income in through sites like Fusion Cash (although these guys are the best) I'm learning how to utilize affiliate marketing. In the warmer months of the midwest my husband and I do lawn maintenance. Going on our 3rd year with that. Each year I pray we grow a little bigger with it.

I'm very strong metaphysically so I do well with numerology and helping people understand their natural tendencies and strengths. We all deserve to know some pretty intimate details about who we are and where we excel.
I guess you could call it "out of the box" counseling. :heart:

I study accountant. During school I work at a doctor office place and be a Medical Billing. I like it very much so didn't even finish school for accountant.

I went to college for interior design and racked up enormous amounts of debt sadly graduated the same time that the recession attacked and was never able to find a job for what i had gone to school for still stuck paying over 120,000 in student loans though funny how they never really mention that to kids before they go to school that you may never be able to find a job. any way i now dont work besides online as i have had to become a stay at home mom because it was not going to pay for me to go to work once we paid for my gas and the day care. i have finally found my nitch it seems not only do i get to spend time with my children but now i can work online and i get to be creative that is when my kids let me. i loving painting and making jewelry and knitting and now that i can do this and make money for it im ecstatic. does it get lonely some times all by my self with the kids sure but i wouldn't change it for the world.

At the moment, I have my own business as a removal company for funeral homes and coroner's first calls. I have not chosen this career path it chose me. In other words, I receive and deliver dead people to funeral homes!

I see that I'm lucky to have heard comedian George Carlin's observation that 'school is just "training to be an obedient worker" (one who can learn to push all the right buttons, but who'll shut up about how unfair it is) ,' along with the wisdom of Napoleon Hill's classic self-help book (now available for FREE on the Internet) Think & Grow Rich (http://selfhelpsanctum.com/tagr/indextgr.php), that education IS NOT 'what they give you at school.'
(Hill illustrates this fact with Henry Ford's libel suit against the newspaper that called him "uneducated" because he hadn't graduated from any school. Trying to prove him 'uneducated,' the defense lawyers asked him all sorts of 'trivia questions' that all "schooled" people know the answers to, and Ford answered them with the common sense answers (not the "right" answers :angel12: ))
sherryinutah has the right idea. tuyetmai & moon29 are catching it ... and they're right; we don't want a revolting revolution against schools, but more a re-evolving one within schools ... getting all the fishies to the worm-rich mud!
