First and foremost, I'm a Mommy to my 15 month old son, Jedi.
Secondly, I work on the front end of a grocery store (Big Y is the name of it for those that are curious, but you'll only find them in CT and MA) and I am trained for a variety of things. Sometimes I just run a register and be a regular ol' cashier, sometimes I work in the customer service desk, sometimes it's my job to watch and assist customers with our self-check registers, and lastly, near the beginning of this year I was trained to be a Head Cashier which I love because it means I basically run the whole front end and get to be a boss. This is going to sound so nerdy but there is nothing I love/enjoy/appreciate more than watching a customer go from red in the face pissed to walking away with a smile on their face, telling me that they'll be back. It's really satisfying for me and it seems to make the job (and all the other crappy stuff that goes along with it) worth it. I'm hoping to move further up in the chain of promotions or maybe even just be trained in different departments of the store but only time shall tell.
A big to everyone that didn't fall asleep while reading that.

I too work at a Grocery Store. I work in our produce department and enjoy using machetes to cut fruit as well as throwing stuff when the boss is gone.
I also worked as a bill poster this summer for an advertising company. Yes, I was the guy on the billboard with the stupid safety harness on.

Well I'm not working yet but my biggest dream would be to be in a band... It may seems to be a bit *complete it cause I can't find a word* but I'd love to start something with passionate and motivated people (+ I could progress with them ) but unfortunately I don't know anyone who want it as much as I do. I hope someday I'll find cool people, even if it's just to play for fun.
Here was the story, now let's be more realistic ^^
I've started my last year in high school and so in July, if everything's OK, i'll have my HC diploma.
In France, at the end of our 1st year in high school, we choose to belong to 1 section (scientific, economic or literary) and since I didn't know (and still don't) what to do then, I choose the scientific one because it let you do lots of things.
I'd love to study in the USA and then do something that allows me to travel.
If I can't do it, I'll try to become a physiotherapist or something like that.
Congrats to everyone who read it.
I could talk about carrers for hours... It's an obsession since I can't make a decision ><

Well right now I am a baker for BP but not my dream job. I have no idea what my actual dream job is. My job is stressful for the first 4 hours so busy but after that it calms down, except my coworkers love to bring their drama to work so that keeps me entertained in the down time.

Well up until about 6 hours ago I was working for a bank, at the moment I am not working at all as I am packing up and leaving this city. Will be temping where I am going probably still in the finance sector, but all this is not permanent.
I have a couple of degrees in design and my goal at the moment is to land a PhD scholarship, I am looking for opportunities more or less all over the world, but haven't had any luck yet. My passion is colours and I'd like to work with colour consultancy in design or marketing, or within colour forecasting. Oh and then it is the dream of one day becoming a crazy Professor...

I am an inside salesperson at an engineering company. It is a fairly technical knowledge based position. Not what I thought I'd do when I grew up, but it is a really good company and I work with good people, which is hard to find these days! I've been at this company for 11 years, and unless I win the lottery, I will probably retire from here.

I'm a college student majoring in criminology and psychology. During breaks I work at a company called LifeCell that deals with donated human skin from cadavers (cause skin is an organ). The skin is "processed" and then sent out to hospitals around the world for burn victims, surgeries, etc. Oh, since highschool it's been fun trying to explain what my summer job is...
