I'm a veterinary assistant.  I love it.  Trying to decide if I want to go back to school and become a registered tech or pursue vet school.

I am after finishing my pharmacy and biochemistry degree, but I have worked with pharmacovigilance.

My routine could be resumed as picking up the phone and collecting reports of adverse reactions from patients in use of some meds...

And one thing I have noticed lol mostly girls work on this kind of department...it doesnt' seem a very male thing to do, answer the phone and be kind with people in need of assistance lol

Not having I.T. as an option was a major flaw it appears...   :-X

I'm self employed in the financial services area. I've also developed software that I license to companies (SHOCKER!).

I own a business with a partner.  First year and really struggling.  Honestly, I'd love to have a job in a boutique or something like that.  Pretty girly I know, but I'd be happy.
Always running away from myself...

I'm a network engineer, but I would kill to have kids and be a stay at home mom.

I always thought driving a big truck would be kinda fun. At least its just you out there! Honestly too, thank you for the bacon;I loooove it!  :icon_boogy:


Believe me , it is nothing fun about it , the fun part is independent of the job itself : being alone /travelling /seeing the world can be accomplished without working this.
I worked as a truck driver for a long time now and I just realized how stupid I was choosing that
At least in Europe it is one of the most risky , underpaid in relation with the amount of work , dirty , family ruining jobs

It only made me more of a loner , I feel uncomfortable when I am between people (maybe because I still look and dress like a man ) , not to mention it develops a lot of masculine features and traits .
Luckily , I will be out of this soon .

So truck driver as my job , but not for long , I hope I will either get a job in the standard female jobs area  or I will do something on my own and trying to get some money out of it .

I am retired on disability. But my last position was an ASE certified auto mechanic. Oh the memories if occasionally wearing a bra under my uniform. The first time was so long ago, before I had any clue as to my true self.

I'm in IT but I always wanted to be a commercial artist, so my chosen career couldn't be more different than my preferred career. Although I do artwork on the side so everyone wins (lol)

I hear you, it isn't really any better in the United States. I have been doing it only for a few years, just because it was very easy to get into. I am attempting to get into the IT field, hopefully this will be the last year I ever have to shift gears in a vehicle lol, I swear my left leg has is more muscular than my right just because I push the clutch so much in my truck with it's 10 speed transmission.

Still choose medical. I do work in I.T. but I do so at hospital and I am in fact an x-ray tech.

Working in cube land these days I kind of wish that I had stayed in x-ray land. At least there I could hide somewhat while going through the awkward stages of transition.

Let's just say the unbiquitous IT polo shirts aren't cutting hiding the boobs so much anymore. At least in hospital scrubs they are so ill fitting that I could hide a whole extra body in there and no one would notice...

That's soo cool! I probably have a very romantic idea of farm life lol.
My diet is very farm-like. I'm trying to make everything I possibly can from scratch (bread etc), while not eating any processed foods whenever possible. Now, someone get me a cow. ;D

IT may not be the best field to go for, unless you really love computers.  A friend of mine with A+, Net+ & Apple Essentials 10.6 certifications was turned down a few days ago for a $16k p.a. position because the employer found someone better qualified.  This was for a Help-Desk Support Centre job.

You know what is interesting , that I don't even like driving  :D Or I could enjoy some driving but not with the real life traffic and responsibility . Now I got somehow more comfortable , but anyway , off-work I drove a car only once since driving school . Before accepting myself , I felt it was a defect that I am scared to drive . Now I feel great about that , makes me feel more feminine , and also it feels that I allow the real me to emerge by not forcing myself into doing things I instinctively tend to reject.One more week and I am free from driving . My legs are safe , for the last 7 months I drove an 'automatic'  ;)

I do, specifically I love Linux and I love Pascal. Now I doubt I could get a job doing anything with Pascal (does anyone use Delphi these days? I use Lazarus/FreePascal) but there are a bunch of datacenters near me, and they all run linux. I would get my foot in the door anyway I can, but the Linux and networking certs are what I am most interested in. I would much rather get a job where they use Debian (why is RHEL/Fedora so popular?) but, I would take a job doing basically anything that can get me home everyday, especially if they give transportation vouchers for the Metro/VRE/MARC trains (many jobs here do).
