What type of job/career do you have?

[Leonardfan]

Hey guys,

I was just wondering what type of job/career field all of you are in. I am not really happy doing what I am doing now and am just curious as to what you guys do for ideas.

I'm a janitor in college and feel smarter than all the kids here. Sometimes there's an equation on the blackboard half written and I already know the answer to it...true story.

Lol. It's a joke from Step Brothers about the movie Good Will Hunting. Jimmy Chitwood probably got it but just in case you didn't I was joking. I'm in highschool and take AP English/ US History. If that counts. Like all of you, probably because we have similar personalities, I want to be a teacher or a state trooper.

thats crazy that a fair amount of us are teaching or working on becoming a teacher

Im working on becoming a History teacher and hopefully work as some type of football coach at whatever school i am working at in the future, which was advised to me by the Dean, a former football coach.

He was talking about how most kids think you have to major in p.e. to coach sports in high school but you can teach other stuff and it will actually be harder to find a job as a p.e. teacher rather than something like History or Math, so I guess better job security and History is interesting and very important.

Not only that but you can usually receive a stipend for helping out with after school events. Be careful about rushing into teaching though. I work in a rural, predominately black, title 1 school. Title 1 means low income. Depending on the "type" of students you have classroom management is going to take up a LOT of your time. Having said that I'm glad I picked the field that I did. The pay is good, the working hours are excellent, and where else can you earn a living talking about history?
