What do you do for a living? (Your occupation)

Hi Everyone!

I just like starting topics of conversation. A message board is always more fun when there are new replies to read.

What do you do for a living? (What is your job?)

What do you enjoy most about your job?

What do you like the least about your job?

Do you think you will be doing the same job in five years’ time? (Will you still be working there in 5 years?)

I am a high school English literature teacher in the United States. I am at the end of my fourth year teaching.

I enjoy being able to interact with great students and help them figure out their futures, particularly what college they will go to. It makes me happy when I really have taught them something that they can use in their lives.

I hate grading papers and dealing with excuses why a student doesn’t do their work. I hate having to repeat the same thing over and over again.

I am not sure if I will be a teacher in five years…. that would mean being a teacher for 10 years! And if I have taught for 10 years, likely I would teach for 15 more, and retire as a teacher. Scary to see your whole life planned out like that!!!!

actually, if u were my hign school teacher, i would be happy!
i’m from China, though i majored in english i changed my occupation and now i work in a network company.

In the year 2003 I start my career in this company,for the first half year I was working as a energy management engineer,at the begining of 2004 I chang my job,still in the same company but other position.So last two and half year I was working as a price audit engineer for this company’s internal audit department.

What I enjoy most about my job?hehe,it’s really hard to say,money?yes,I think I have already found out the answer.I need a lots of money.When I was graduated from college I went to be a garduate student,but my parents tell me"Sorry son,we don’t have enough money for your study, you’d better get a job first".At that time I have no choice.
Other reason why I need so much money is I need to take care my parents.I came from mainland of China.My parents right now is over 70 years old, but I’m just 24.They living in the country side, they are farmer.Maybe for most of the people in here don’t understand what is farmer mean in China.In China if you are a farmer it’s means you have no insurance,when you are getting old,you must pay the living and the medical treatment your self. As the only son my parents have,I have the duty to take care of then.
OK,so can get a good payment is the thing which I enjoy most for my job. For the last three years I have already save enough money for the next 5 years living include my parents.If enerything is under control I will start my MBA cause the year 2007.

What I like the least about my job? There are so many things I dislike, I must work 6 days per week, I must work over time everyday, I can’t enjoy my vacation. There is one very fames saying in my company about my boss, she allways went to “Use a woman as a man, use a man as an animal”

Last point, I don’t think I will doing this job for the next five years. I doing this job just for money, I don’t like this job, so after I finish my MBA cause I’d like to found another job anyway.

Well, Since i was greaduated from the university my job is always work as secretary. what i almost like with my job is My boss Coz of him that why i still work at this company but everything can cheange all da time I am not sure maybe in 5 years what gonna change. When I was busy I always find a new job but not quit yet. you know what I dislike is all staff at my office they are so fcukin lazy. Hope they come to read it. hehe I"m not dare to tell them face to face.

sorry for my english
