I'm a technical support analyst, so really it's a combination of customer service and IT/computers.

I work with computers doing graphics arts to database management. It's fun, and I enjoy it.  Too bad I can't dress fem at work; I think it would be even more fun and challenging.

Unemployed college student? 8D;

No actually, I'm an education person. Though right now that equates to "osporadically doing volunteer work as a tutor/group leader/etc." since paying jobs are hard to come by, and I'd rather have an unpaid job working with kids than a paid job working in retail. It just seems more worthwhile in the long run. I'm keeping an eye out for paid tutoring jobs, though, because I have no objections to having my cake and eating it too!

The eventual goal, though, is to get a job as a middle school teacher. My degree will be in teaching English, social studies, and ENL (English as a new language) at the 6th-8th grade level, so anything in that realm is fair game.

I've just started training as an "Electric Train Driver".

It's 12 - 18 months training, and a lot more involved than you'd think. So many people think it's "go-brake-go" - but there's so much more you have to know.

So far, it's challenging and fun :). You've always got to be concentrating and thinking ahead. There's a lot of technical and mechanical skills you have to have too that most people don't think about (who do you think is in charge when things cock up, eh? :laugh:).

My employer is owned by the state government - so they're stable, pay well, and very trans friendly.

I changed my name and title before I started (but after I applied) and they offered (yes - offered!) to change my gender marker with HR. It's a totally different culture from the private sector. They don't care if you're a minority, they care only that you can do the job.

I came from the IT industry.  Computers are awesome, but I don't think I'm cut out to wear a suit and brown-nose to clients :laugh:.
