What is YOUR career jand/or job?

Question

What is YOUR career or job? What is your career and what type of education or requisites were needed? I am in my early 20's with a college degree in psychology (but not necessarily dedicated to that subject matter) and still trying to figure out a path. So just let me know what you do so that I might get some ideas. Thanks a bunch!

Answer 1

I am a Behavior Health Technician in a residential for SMI homeless individuals. I started out as a CNA in hospitals, nursing homes and private duty. I just branched out to mental health. I am almost done with getting my associates in psychology and may become a case manager or clinical liaison. The mental health field is rewarding. No matter what you do your degree in psych will come in handy. There is no job on earth that involves never dealing with people!

Answer 2

I work in retail - started at the bottom and have worked in a lot of diverse areas.

I don't think what I do for a job will help you much....

With a psychology degree you probably have the opportunity to apply for more jobs than you think.

Clinical practice is obvious, but most large corporations use psychologists for thier workforce. HR recruitment and selection firms use psychologists for selecting candidates.
Marketing firms would value someone with a psychology background.

My biggest suggestion would be seeing a careers counsellor, and also get your Myers/Briggs test done (if you haven't already) I found that really helpful for me.

Answer 3

I am a Welder and a Machinist. Welders need a certification in different kinds and classification of metals and the art of joining them together ranging anywhere from Cast Iron to Titanium.
On the side I also work on blacksmithing.
There is always the military they can help you with a steady career and a job experience.

Answer 4

I am a Receiving Clerk in a local Supermarket. Job entails not only accurate counting of inbound shipments, but maintaining the back room of the store in an organized fashion, handling damage product for credit and preparing return trailers for distribution center pickup. That said I am also a relief manager, the unofficial store photographer, store newsletter editor, political analyst, military analyst, unofficial "shrink" or "the bartender" for employees with problems amongst other duties.
Didn't finish college, but my studies were in both history and air traffic control.

Answer 6

Well, I have been a teacher in th UK for 30 years, and have really enjoyed it. As you have a degree, you would need to do a PGCE, which I think takes a year. I don't have a degree, I have a Certificate in Education, but I think nowadays to should have one. Hope this helps.

No for real... my JOB is working in the fast food industry. That's right I'm one of those older fast food ppl who wanna grumble under thier breath about annoying teenagers and ppl who wanna change thier order 5 times AFTER I make the damn thing. Otherwise I'm usually a warehouse worker because it's a lot less stressful.
