NWR-A lazy Sunday afternoon question for the 05 ladies

hi ladies just a question for you..what does everyone do for a living? Do you genuinely like what your doing? Is it more the people at the job that makes you stay or the job itself? . I ask this because i started a new job about 4 months and i really dont like it i am very actively looking around, but I am not certain its the job more then i hate my boss. Just pondering life, i have about 2 yrs until i am done going to school for social work. just trying to get an idea what everyone does and what lead them to it. TIA

I work for NYC Administration for Children's Services. I have been there for 5 years now. My first 2 years were in child protection (I removed kids when necessary) and for the past 3 years I have been in family preservation which is working intensively with families who are in crisis and help them get stable enough so that their children can remain in their care. I am in grad school at Yeshiva University pursing my Masters in Social work as well. I will graduate in May 2006.

Helping children, families, women, people is my passion. I feel it is my calling and I love what I do.

I am a network administrator and i like the work just not the office politics but i have really good benefits and good vacation. so the only damper to working is the gossip but that is everywhere you go.

flight attendant (to be able to travel)
makeup artist ( i love being girly)
librarian (a nice quiet job)

i think i could definitely do librarian in the near future...and if i could be the school librarian and get to work with kids ...well i would die happy

Re: NWR-A lazy Sunday afternoon question for the 05 ladies

Currently I'm a real estate paralegal. I don't like it and plan on looking for a job after the wedding. The only think keeping me sane at this job are the people I work with.

I quit my job in PR in the city shortly after getting engaged. I knew we'd be buying a house in Suffolk county and I couldn't continue the commute. I miss my job so much though. I tried to find a PR job out here, but they're few and far between and do not pay nearly as much as I was making in the city (try 1/2 as much!).

Anyone know of any great advertising/marketing/PR firms on LI?

Re: NWR-A lazy Sunday afternoon question for the 05 ladies

I am a marketing rep for a psychiatric hospital. And I don't really like it. I do work out of home, haven't really done anything since I got the job in November, no real appointments or accounts because no one wants to hear about us since our reputation is so bad, so no I don't like it. A lot of people would say who cares, you work out of your home. As much as that is nice, I can be very lazy and I know for me, now, it just doesn't work. I mean, hello? I spend more time on LIWeddings than anything else. Before that I worked in teh admissions department at the psychiatric hospital which was a lot more dangerous and I hated even more. My dream job is to work in college admissions. I'm hoping our move up to DC will help me out in that search.

Re: NWR-A lazy Sunday afternoon question for the 05 ladies

I do hardware research for a computer company. I more like the people I work with then the work I do. Half the time it's challenging - half the time it's boring. I'm gonna stick with it cause it's a temp job that ends in May.... then our wedding is in June.... and we move to NC in August, so I'm not worried.

I am an administrative assistant at an IT firm but I attend school part-time, studying nutrition, I hope to become a registered dietitian. I used to like my job more, there have been a lot of changes so I'm not as happy, but I do like the people I work with, so that helps.

Re: NWR-A lazy Sunday afternoon question for the 05 ladies

I work for an internet company that sells perfume/cologne/aromatherapy/skincare etc at discount prices to the public. My title? Administrative Assistant to the CEO. Do I like it? NOPE. Pay stinks people stink, job stinks.

Once the wedding comes and goes I will be actively looking for a new employment oppertunity. But, at this point it is in my best interest to stay where I am until the wedding.
