work in the sports media industry, an industry that is being decimated by lay-offs and significant cutbacks, so I'm looking at other things.

"I play good, hard-nosed basketball.
Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
Currently working at Nordstrom - Internal IT Help Desk - fixing computers and registers. It's a good job, and Nordstrom is a rockin' company, and will weather the economic downturn...
current job: phlebotomist in the pathology lab of a hospital in the mayo health system.
student?: senior in college with two semesters left (counting the one I'm in right now) studying biology...then off to grad school to become a physician assistant.
5 yr plan: finished with grad school living somewhere beautiful (the further west the better) working as a cardiovascular physician assistant.
PJ: St. Paul 6.16.2003, St. Paul 6.26.2006, St. Paul 6.27.2006, Hartford 6.27.2008, Mansfield 6.28.2008, Mansfield 6.30.2008, Beacon Theater 7.1.2008, Toronto 8.21.2009, Chicago 8.23.2009, Chicago 8.24.2009, Philly 10.30.2009, Philly 10.31.2009, Columbus 5.6.2010, Noblesville 5.7.2010
EV: Los Angeles 4.12.2008, Los Angeles 4.13.2008, Nashville 6.17.2009, Nashville 6.18.2009, Memphis 6.20.2009
current job: IT Documentation/Trainer for a large HVAC corporation. Been here for 5 years. I write instructor guides, Help files and user manuals for SAP and a number of other software solutions. Sometimes train classes. Some travel although not as much as there used to be. Work from home one day a week. I like my job, but there are parts I hate too.
student?: No. I have a BA. History and anthropology. Graduated in 1996.
5 yr plan: Due to current economic conditions, my 5 year plan is just to stay employed. I’ve been laid off before, but I think if it happens now it will be very difficult to find something similar for the same money. A layoff would probably mean a complete career change for me.
i'd rather be...: Flying. I got a private pilot license and an instrument rating several years ago but decided not to pursue a career. No military experience and school would have been astronomical as far as cost goes. Plus you can make more at Taco Bell than as a new pilot fresh out of school. Also, this job can be boring so I think I may try something completely different next time I get the chance. Another major hobby is cooking, but probably would not be able to hack culinary school.
well i was a line cook for like ten years..nightly domination underappreciated by all but my 2 counter parts who also hated their jobs and were jaded by awful ex's usually ending dinner rush with a polished off bottle of three olives and a motionless moment with wasted reprise playing full blast for the entire restaurant to hear our dissapointment in our lives...
but now im a purchasing mngr at a succesful industrial company lovin life..hope i dont mess it up
i have a few minutes to kill, so i thought i'd start a new thread!
so what do you do for a living? if you're a student, what are you studying? is this what you saw yourself doing 5 years ago? what would you rather be doing? i'll start....
current job: Editor for an Oil & Gas publication firm (work from home! woo-hoo!--that's the only perk, by the way) also, i'm a musician that is coming out of hiding from writing/recording. can't wait to play some shows!
student?: yes--in grad school slowly working toward my Ed S degree in Educational Psychology
5 yr plan: not really. i've been w/ my company for about 1.5 yrs and I never thought that i'd be working in O&G. and grad school wasn't on my radar until about a year ago. i thought that i'd be teaching.
i'd rather be...: done w/ school so i can help troubled kids instead of editing articles about rich people getting richer.
k--your turn!
Current Job: Admin Assistant for a Nonprofit
5 year plan: ?
I'd rather be doing something in a creative field.
These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.
current job: nothing! I am a stay at home mom right now, but prior to this, I was a marketing/PR coordinator at a big Chicago law firm.
student?: no, but I have thought about going back to school and 1.) becoming a high school english or art teacher, or 2.) going back to school and teaching at a community college or university, or 3.) get my masters and go further into the field of marketing/PR
5 yr plan: I need to figure out the above before I can make that. I do plan to be either working full time or in school and working towards working full time by then.
i'd rather be...: I'm happy doing this right now, but I really miss the intellectual challenge of school/work.
student?: graduated w/ my marketing degree...can't decide if i want to go back for my master's. i'm not sure what would benefit me the most?!
5 yr plan: moving to seattle in a few months to work at a higher volume store. i'll hopefully stay there for a bit and then move up to one of the company's top volume stores in california. san fran and santa monica are my picks that should be about 5 years...then i'm hoping to have a better idea as to whether i want to move up to district manager or run away to work at home office in philly i'd rather be...: i'm happy with this...though if i cold somehow be the music director for my company, i'd be the happiest girl in the world. i love my company...but i'm sure everyone knows that by now
current job: none, im a broke motherfucker... but i still live wit my parents and am only a senior in college so... (does doing scholarships count as a job???? only if i win????)
student?: yes, full time senior in high school taking college prep courses. Rowan University this September studying Mechanical engineering.
5 yr plan: graduate high school. graduate college. get a sweet job.
i'd rather be...: an animallllll!!!!!! uhhh, idk.

current job: senior editor at cars.com, yes I review and write about cars.
student: 11 years since college or so.
5-year plan: to still be employed with health care and a 401K that rebounds from what it is.
I'd rather be: personal biographer to Pearl Jam. Or personal car shopper for Pearl Jam. And really what they could use is a full time blogger/fan advocate to keep this glorious site updated more often and to answer more questions etc. I do not think they could afford me though
New screenname for the new site. At least for now. Previously Lackofdave
Blogging at <a href="http://www.dadtherapy.com">Dad Therapy</a>
Current job: I've been a waitress for the past ten years. I really enjoy it, except for the 3 bulging discs and terrible back pain. Now it's more like 'meals on wheels' because I use a cart like you would see room service use at a hotel.
Student: I will finally finish college with a degree in Chemical Engineering this June.
5-year plan: I may use the economy as an excuse to not get a job and try to travel until I run out of money. The best thing about taking 10 years to finish college is graduating without any debt!
I'd rather be: Touring with Pearl Jam(do you think they need a chemical engineer on the payroll?). In Mexico, Canada, Italy or anywhere except Ohio. Doing something that makes me happy while helping others. I have a resume if anybody is interested:)
Comments
Student: Never again
5 years: I've got next week planned out but anything past that is all up in the air.... I'll ride the wave where it takes me.
