Professions and Majors

[BirdOnTheWire]

I wanted to pursue that, or at least just take some classes on music composition.

I'm currently going to school for psychology and waiting to start at CVS Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Tech. Whoo hoo, I guess.

Sorry, sort of late to reply    I was actually originally in school, when I first started college for Sociology.  I was thinking of switching to Psychology though before I quit.  After a few cycles of going back, taking a class here and there, then dropping out again; I finally settled on Recording Arts. 

One of the main reason I stuck with it was that it was an accelerated program.  Got my A.S. in one year, could have has a B.S. in two years.  But with money being tight I only got my Associates.  Sort of glad I didn't go for the B.S.  I'm in debt enough as it is, and ultimately I have yet to use the degree.     A mix of a bit of my own fault and where I"m living.  I.E. no jobs in my field.  Hoping once I move I'll start an internship.

I may still go back one day and finish up my Sociology program.  It's something I've loved for a LONG time, just about as long as I've loved working with sound.  It's one of the few things I enjoy reading about for fun.  I have about 4 friends though that have all gone into Psychology.  Always fun "talking" to them.

I'm currently finishing my second semester in college. My current major is networking and desktop support. Though if things go fubar when I come out to my mother I may have to run away to Arizona so I don't know what I'd do.

[PrincessLeiah]

I'm currently studying in rabbinical school. So I guess if anyone needs a wedding or a bat mitzvah performed, I'm your girl ^_^

[Jess42]

Underpaid genius and proffesional slacker. When I do work hard, it's usually on how to avoid working. But seriously though "semi pro" musician and then if that dries up, proffesional driver.

[Amy The Bookworm]

I'm currently going to school to become a secondary art education teacher. I look forward to the day that I have my own high school art class. Right now I'm in 4 honor societies and on track to graduate in the top 15 percent of my class at Kansas State University. Many of my instructors are excited about my ability to teach and my acceptance of people, as are some of the local teachers I've built a professional relationship with, for when I get out and start teaching because of my professional atittude and strong work ethic. If all goes well, I should graduate in 2015, and as long as I'm willing to work anywhere instead of just localy, due to my grades and the low amount of art education majors in the country I have a near 100% chance of finding a job after college.

But I don't know if that percentage holds true if I transition, and I don't know if I will be allowed to keep my job if I decide to wait until after I have one to transition.

I have a Bachelor's degree in childhood education. Considering a master's degree in creative writing.

[Leo.]

Im sure no one is interested in me but I have a BSc Honours degree in Biochemistry and Pharmacology and have just started my research project for my Masters degree in Clinical Pharmacology

No time for a job with this. Once Im finally finished it in September Im taking as long out as I need to start the process of fixing myself before I start anything else. Had been planning on doing a PhD after this but not sure if that'll happen or not. This year has been bad enough, dont know if I could handle another 3 years of it. We'll see what happens. No one knows about my 'situation' yet but its none of their business anyway. Will be finished here before I really start the process anyway so theres no point in any of them knowing. It wont change anything

[Joanna Dark]

I'm a journalist/magazine editor and graduated from Temple University in 2004. I am planning on trying to get into Penn and pursuing a master's/PhD in Modern Lit and to teach professionally. But I don't know. I guess if I could do anything I would be a fashion editor but that's really hard to become.

[brainiac]

I'm currently a grad student in a PhD program for Cognitive Psychology (which is where my username comes from... I don't think I'm a genius or anything). I'm quite far away from that "Dr. Brainiac" title, though!

I know I would love to go back and get some  degree's in a science or psychology. I'd love to be able to counter my Brother-in-law's "I'm an Engineer" with "Well I'm a Doctor."

Lemme know if you want any psychology degree tips.

[Blaine]

I used to be pre-med, but I've switched over to emergency medical services. I'm getting my EMT-Basic right now and want to eventually work toward my paramedic certification. I'll probably go into dispatch for a while until my surgeries are over with and healed up, though. I've got the time to spare.

Could you find out the type of SRS currently practiced by main China surgeons?

Sorry for the late reply... The most famous places where SRS is available in China are the Shanghai Military 411 Hospital and Shanghai Changzheng Hospital. Because both are public hospitals, they never do any advertising, and little is known about the details unless one goes into their therapy sessions. Nevertheless, according to people who have had surgeries, they can do all of penis reversion, skin graft and colon surgery depending on the patients' interest, because both are public hospitals having multiple surgeons specialised in different techniques. However I am not sure whether these surgeons have equal technical experiences. Most likely, some should be much more experienced. But the doctors in public hospitals in China rarely make a name for themselves; instead, they regard themselves as a group using the name of the hospital, so it is just hard to know.

[Kathryn]

Working on Being a Guidance Counselor.
A talent of mine is I am a pretty good Lyricist.

[King Malachite]

I'm majoring in Criminal Justice.

As of May, 2013 I have an Associates in Applied Science with a Major in Criminal Justice Technology.  After the summer I should have my certification in law enforcement and corrections.

The crazy thing is that I have no plans on using this degree and certification anytime soon.  In fact, I want to be a dishwasher, package handler, janitor, or stocker.

[Crow]

I'm a nerdy zoologist. A contagious nerdy zoologist, since most of my endeavors seem to involve turning other people into nerdy zoologists with me.

Right now I'm working as a summer camp counselor at a bird sanctuary. I kind of hop between assorted seasonal/temporary positions more-or-less related to education and/or the environment.

I'm about to start back at college in the fall to finish getting my bachelor's degree with a major in Wildlife and Conservation Biology and a minor in Marine Biology. The goal is to be (surprise surprise) in the environmental education and research field, probably as a park naturalist/environmental educator for at least a while, though I may go back and do the grad school thing eventually, so I can be a professor.

[Tessa James]

I am a retired CRNA, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.  I enjoyed my career in a female dominated world and eventually specialized in obstetrics.  Working in labor and delivery is stressful but wonderfully rewarding and a privilege to be part of such critical moments.  I loved working with mothers and babies and miss holding the little darlings.  I do not miss the politics of health care in this country.   I expect that some day we may actually have a national health care system that understands health care is a right for all citizens, not just the wealthy and well insured.

I have always been a community activist and now do fulfilling volunteer work full-time.   I encourage people to retire as early as you can to allow ourselves maximum freedoms and a self directed life.

[Mary81]

I have a master's degree in linguistics, but work as an economist for a multinational cosulting company.

[Rachel84]

Recently graduated from Chiropractic school.  Bachelors in Science and Psychology for undergrad.

[Yukari-sensei]

I have a BA in English with minors in history, economics, and philosophy. Once upon a time I was a teacher in middle school. Currently I have returned to the university to pursue a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. 

Unfortunately, my 3.5 gpa is too low to get me in to the program this cycle. This is my second year on the waiting list. I'm strongly debating sitting the LSAT and going to law school or just going back to teaching but being able to transition is a major deciding factor on my course of action.

Any teachers that successfully transitioned here while working?
