Good luck to both of you! This past year was simultaneously the best and most stressful year of my life.

I didn't know what I'd specifically be teaching until 2 days before school started. What a fabulous way to start the year! I survived and you will, too. :)

Do you have your undergrad in urban planning, I am wondering why the switch...

I just ask because my undergrad is urban planning. I am a wireless zoning consultant to a large carrier. I file the zoning/site plan reviews/building permits necessary for new towers or collocations.

I'm a research assistant for a professor who does a lot of Supreme Court litigation and I'm clerking for a DA this summer.

I'm an associate on the personal staff of the executive director of a consulting firm. I deal with media relations.

I majored in studio art and American history. I took a year off after college to get a better sense of what I wanted to do, and got a great, but pretty random job in the meantime...but it's not the kind of thing I would want to do forever. And then I looked into urban planning. Taking the long way around, I guess. I'm glad to know youre in that field!

Part of me kind of misses doing the media relations stuff. It sounds like you do it on a higher level than I did (I did it for a legal non-profit); sometimes it drove me crazy, but it was fun.

I am a Captain in the Army

I'm an Exec Admin/Program Coordinator on a contract for Customs...I spend my whole life taking and typing minutes.

I am the HR rep. for a small tech company.

Just graduated and I'm working with a lobbying firm in DC. And I'm tutoring with Kaplan for the SATs and GREs on the side so that I can put my degree to good use and make some extra cash to help pay off my student loans ASAP!

I like it sometimes. It makes me sad when I read the articles reporters have written about us because it usually just makes me think about how I would have written it differently. After my life settles down a little bit (getting married in a month), I'm going to start pursuing reporting jobs.

That's funny, I actually used to feel the same way. I thought it helped out a bit to have a journalism background, because when you were trying to pitch things to outlets, you can at least show that you have an understanding of their job and daily demands.

I tried going back to the reporting thing briefly, but I found that I didn't love it as much as I did when I was writing professionally in high school and at the beginning of college (sports and politics reporter for a couple of local papers).

I joke that my career has slowly gotten more cynical, from reporter, to media relations, and now law school...

Oh, and congrats on the upcoming wedding.

I do Client Data Management (manage the information in the database) and Accounts Receivable billing for a satellite networking company. I also back up the Manager of the Dispatch department as necessary.

I'm a District Manager for a retail company (killer hours)

I also run a Greek Store on the side with a couple of my fraternity brothers.

I'm an officer in the US Army (Military Intelligence Branch) and I love it. :)

I am the News Editor for a member-driven non-profit organization.

I am an eligibility worker for a county government. I determine and maintain eligibility for families who receive food stamps, Medicaid and TANF. I make referrals to other county programs or agencies or non profits when necessary. Its a LOT of paperwork, a ginormous caseload (~500 right now), policy, training and political issues, especially immigration. On the other hand, most of my coworkers are amazing and I like my job. Most days.

So, I know this post is old, but I had to say something.

Go into exotic animals and you'll have very loyal business. I have two chinchillas and the only exotic animal specialist is in Raleigh, so I plan on moving closer once I graduate.

And, us lovers of exotic animals need some well trained, highly qualified vets to take care of our babies.

After playing around in Television Production Management for about 25 years, I've gone back to where I started.

I'm a television director.

And now I am a reporter! I cover the House and Senate floor.

I'm a computer programmer. And for some reason considering becoming a middle or high school math teacher.

I love exotic animals and I thought about that, but exotic animal specialists are hard to locate at times. There's just so many laws regarding exotic pets. A lot of exotic animals are bred in captivity but the laws in some states still apply. But believe me, I thought about that for a long time.;):)

Let me amend mine a bit...my coworker just put in her two week, so I'm now going to be doing her job and mine. Which comes with a raise and major ass kissing by my boss. I think I might enjoy this for awhile. So I guess I'm now an Office Manager/Project Coordination. Does that make me an Office Coordinator??

musician/songwriter

What kind of music do you write/play?

It sounds dull, but I'm a Business Project Manager for the Wholesale Mortgage Banking Department of a large national lender. I work on a lot of process and technology intigrations.
It's also my job to keep everyone else organized.

acoustifolkountrisurferbluesy type stuff. and southern rock. whatever suits the mood, really.

Manager of Marketing and Inside Sales for a manufacturer's representative firm in the chemical and plastics industry.

Not exciting or all that interesting.

Not bad though, it's a family business so I have good job security and a stake in the success of the company. It makes me work harder (when I'm not wasting time on the internet).

Oh well, I won't get fired:rolleyes:

I work for a payroll company, it sucks, but I get paid well and I'm moving up fast and hopefully will start getting some good management experience in the next few years as well as start and finish up a masters and then I'll branch out.

I actually am going to play the "take a week and a half off and figure out WTF I can/want/should do for my next real career move and what sort of masters/credential I need in order to advance towards that goal and then play the "what school can I get into AND afford in order to get this degree or credential"

Oh life.
