Mousie doesn't have the money for another 4 years of school, and she has had some major life changes and doesn't really care too much for her major anymore anyway.

Well I am a nanny for wealthy families so I make $10-20 an hour depending on the family.

However I have all my pre reqs and I start my program this fall to become a Certified Vet Tech.

I'm a registered nurse and work night shift on a cardiac care unit.  As you can see, I am real busy tonight! 

my 1st real paying job was working at arby's in the drive thru!
Then i went to college and worked various odd jobs in retail and hospitality while in school. Then when i graduated with my degree in criminology i worked for the state of florida and used my degree...i worked on correcting criminal records and helped people with criminal records get back on track and find jobs/housing and not get in trouble again...i got bored with that. not to mention i got tired of dealing with felons who would end right back in jail no matter how hard we tried to screw their heads back on straight.
so i left the state and my tiny cubicle to work with animals. now i work at an animal shelter. i work with animals in jail and i work to get them back on track...help them find homes and sometimes even employment (farm dogs, barn cats, police dogs, service dogs  ) most of my inmates do not come back!
the only 2 parts i hate about my job is 1) mean people 2)euthanasia...it's a part of the job but if only people were more responsible i would not have to do that part of my job. too many animals on death row because there are not enough homes for them all...please spay and neuter! 

You guys are having a night hike at Caumsett? My fifth grade graduation overnight trip was to Caumsett (I still have the goofy blue shirt with kids hanging off the word CAUMSETT). I think the building we stayed in was condemned a few years later.

Until today, I was a barista. I made coffee 40 hours a week. It was a blast. But now I'm unemployed, start classes next week (I think), and will hopefully be teaching in September.

Currently I am a Park Aide Guide for a local county park. It's called the Great Basin Adventure Park, it's basically a little outdoor park. There's a petting zoo, pony rides, log ride, a mine the kids can go through, a dinosaur play park, and a discovery room. It's fun. This is my third season working here, and I haven't left yet. It's a great experience. I started working when I was about 15-almost 16 years old.

Before this job I was a full time nanny for my aunt. I've watched my cousin grow from about 5 months old until a year, and now they're moving back to WA. So it's very upsetting that he is moving. And I hate to talk about them moving because it makes me want to cry. 

I also babysit and dogsit.

Well I'm 12, I don't have a job yet, but I'm going to start training for baby sitting (they have classes)....
When I'm 14 I hope to work at a bakery 

I am a Registered Nurse at a Detroit area hospital. I am in the "float pool," so I get to go to many different units in the hospital. I love it.

I hear you on that!

I'm a "Business Analyst" working tier 2 support for a scientific distribution company, in the Information Services department.  Means when one of our (236) computer systems does something unexpected, and the help desk doesn't know what to do, it lands on my desk (or one of my other four team members' desks).  Mostly I tell the users what they messed up, or pass the problem to the developers to fix.

Mu first job was sales - of wigs.  I got fired because they refused to pay me for the time between "store closing" and when I actually left (after clean-up, etc).  Not their official reason, but that's what it was...

I've also worked as a promo clerk (tallying store receipts for bonus points, before the computers did that), other sales jobs, a brief stint at Mc Donalds, staple-puller (officially, "document prep") for an insurance company, graphic artist (I still do some artwork, just not as FTE), systems tester, and programmer/analyst. Not to mention babysitting and pet sitting, paid and otherwise... 

This is such an interesting thread.  I'm glad to see so many people who really enjoy their job; and I sympathise with the people who don't - I've been there.
I work as an extra in films and tv.  Because I live on my own, and very frugally, I earn just about enough to get by, most of the time.  I'm getting two or three days a week at the moment, but I've had some really quiet patches, which can be difficult.  My aim is to earn some money from my art as well (I do children's book - style illustrations and greetings card designs).  I have lots of free-time on film sets, sitting around, waiting to be used in the scene, so I get lots of drawing and painting done while I'm being paid to be there!
I've worked on all the Harry Potter films (though only been visible in the first one); Finding Neverland; Gosford Park, to name some of the larger ones, and lots of UK tv: Eastenders, Holby City, Spooks (MI5). 
I've been doing this for eight years and I really enjoy it. 
My favourite jobs are stand-in jobs: on some larger productions they hire someone who is the same build and colouring as the actress, whose job is to 'stand-in' during technical rehearsals so the camera and lighting can be finalised.  Usually these jobs involve working on the whole shoot, from beginning to end, so that means a guaranteed period of work, sometimes months at a time.  I always get treated like part of the crew on these jobs - ie, much better than when I'm an extra!  Unfortunately, there are just not enough of those jobs around, but because I know lots of the crew members now, and a few actors, when I go on set as an extra, I usually meet a few friends on the production side of things that I can hang out with.

I have three jobs at the moment:

Job 1:  Mom.  Been doing that almost sixteen years now and so far nobody's fired me!   

Job 2:  Asst. Editor/Proofreader, and now Receptionist.  We publish poems and short stories written by kids (K-12).  I love my job most days and only want to slap people stupid once in a while.  I just moved up to the front office, so I'm not really doing the editing and reading so much.  I also take home typing on a contract basis.

Job 3:  Cashier at one of the two main home improvement stores.  I like it, too.  Mostly I like the extra paycheck when it comes to feeding to ravening horde responsible for Job 1. 

My very first job was as a babysitter when I was twelve.  That job also took me up into the Shoshone National forest to live in a tent for a month.  Loved it!  My first real job that the IRS cared about was as a Lifeguard/Swimming Instructor at the YMCA.  Little kids I taught to swim are now married with kids of their own.  Good grief!

 Being the brother to a deaf woman, I'd just like to say thank you for the work you;ve done. IMHO, you relay operators don't get enough thanks and recognition.

Me, I work in the IT dept for a "Customer Service Center" (aka warehouse, distribution center) for Rite Aid.
