 I am a Vet Tech for an equine veterinary clinic. I get to be around horses all day however since the place i work for doesn't require you to have a certification let alone a degree as a vet tech they don't pay me what I am worth so I am trying to find a second job to fill in the income gaps I have. Some days I really like my job and other days I don't. There are days when I get to help the vets out quite a bit and days when I do nothing but the dirty work and I put in 10-12 hour shifts.

During the school year, I'm a full-time college student. I work three paid jobs:
-Writer for the campus magazine
-HP Electroink mixer for digital print lab
-Social Media Coordinator for social achievement game

The president of our college decided that we don't need the physical presses anymore, so our magazine won't be printed. The editors are scrambling to figure out what to do next, but it's not going to be the same pay as it is now, most likely.

I've also been running my pony merch blog and making a small bit of money off of advertisements, nothing to live off of. I'm also doing a social media marketing internship (unpaid) for a children's magazine for the summer, and I might write the story for a video game, too.

So yeah, I do a lot, but no one really wants to pay me a lot for what I do :/

I'm a School Psychologist. I generally prefer to work with high school students, but this coming year I'm switching to elementary. I am essentially a testing expert for the areas of psychoeducational assessment. I give a lot of IQ tests, Achievement tests, and other psycho-social assessment instruments to determine a small part of a child's strengths and weaknesses in order to help them be successful in their academic careers.

Most days I like my job. I like "my" kiddos and I like making a difference in their lives. Most kids go through school and end up in "special education" tend to feel like they are stupid. No child is stupid, they are just wired a bit differently and learn differently than other children, I like using my skills to help the kids figure out how THEY can make the most of their education. It will be interesting working with a younger population, since there is quite a bit of resistance at the high school level. Also, parents. Some are wonderful and amazing people, some are not. Those that are not make my job very hard, I've even been chewed out before when their straight A student didn't qualify for special education and couldn't be diagnosed with a 'disorder' of some sort.

I meet a lot of people though =) I also have an anxiety disorder. I definitely wish you luck!

Awesome to see another English teacher!  I teach 9th and 10th grades.  How do you like those freshmen?

I'm a retail drone.

[Katika]

Currenty struggling to start up being a riding instructor.  Need a tad more capital to fix the arena footing, and I need a good month or so of both me and my horses staying sound for us all to get back in shape.  Other than that, I'm a stay-at-home military wife.

My degree's in animal science, so the only real jobs that I've done have been animal related.  Mostly vet "teching" (I won't call myself a tech, since I never went to school for that, specifically), but also handling military working dogs, socializing resident animals at the campus vet school, managing horse farms and tons of rescue/rehab/training work.  A couple summers in college I worked temp work for the HR department of a big corporation back home - mostly filing and other mundane clerical stuff.  I actually kind of enjoyed that job, as sorting things is therapeutic to me

I know! I never see any on the other forums I post around.   Ah, well keep in mind this is my first year teaching, but they kinda drove me insane. I did request to teach only 9th next year though. I work for a district that is high poverty and by some large prisons...it's not the best area for education.

I work at a nursery, the kind that sells plants. I'm kind of a multi-purpose employee? I'm a cashier, I label, stock, and take care of plants, and I try to help customers with my limited knowledge of plants. (I haven't been working there long.) It's definitely not bad, but it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life, either

i am a very over educated layabout. actually, i make and sell art dolls. but mostly layabout.

I'm a just a mom right now, but in my former life (pre-kids) I went to school for culinary arts and was a chef.  I really enjoyed that, but the hours don't work well with being an active parent, so after having kids I stayed home for a few years.  I've since worked at a coffee shop (fun but the pay sucked), a video store (another fun, simple job but low paying), as a customer service rep for a credit card company (easy and paid decent), as an underwriting liason for a mortgage company (I really liked that job a lot, I got to help people buy houses but I didn't have to deal with the actual customers and it paid pretty well.  When the mortgage industry crashed here, I got laid off.), and then the last one was a para legal for a tax attorney (I hated that job with a passion).  So now since I'm going to be home again for a few years with my newest baby, I'm focusing on ponies and getting my etsy stuff up and running which will mostly be costumes and children's clothing.
