Susan's Place Transgender Resources

What do you do for a living?

I have always been in retail sales.  I had a brief flirtation with Truck driving and automotive repair.  But I always go back to retail

I write - when i'm not being naughty and posting on here...

42,000 words and counting

professional fairy artist for a living, part time witchdoctor on the side for fun ;) I chose arts & entertainment for the poll, but also self-employed business owner in that field.

custodial and 2 others

One of them is full of corn

I'm a computer programmer. Before that I was in behavioral research.

i'm the night time office manager at a taxi firm

Currently I'm still a college sutdent, but I am working on getting my degree to become a counselor and I'm getting my liscence to become a coach.

Spent 15+ years running a business high level brain function, travel all that fun stuff. Now trying to figure it all out, took an office/sales job as the hours were what I was looking for but definitely not my "career". I guess current career would be parent, job that keeps me occupied while my kids are in school office support/sales. Future career.. still working on that one. Definitely not in the US, headed back overseas.
Myles

I do security work.

I'm a student but I am taking classes for video game design. I hope to get a job at Infinity Ward, Bungie, Harmonix, or Valve.

well right now i work at a pizza joint, haha. but i'm still in highschool so that explains the lame job
before this, a supermarket
then my first job at 14-15 yrs old in the summer at a farm stand using a knife the whole time, fun ^ ^

i want my first job back tho

My first paid job was making pork pies. I have never ever since eaten one.

I'm a now a Pathologist :embarrassed:

Cindy

I sharpen pencils

A great and interesting poll but a little resticted, I clicked shipping and transportation, I am a lorry driver but do as much work office/manager based as I do driving.

Lab Assistant at a Pathology lab. Maybe we will run into each other some day Cindy. ;D

I'm a Scientist working in R&D. My focus is mainly in development.

I'm thinking a field of clover would be good. They look pretty and taste good.

I have several jobs right now.  I'm an administrative assistant  to a hippotherapist (occupational therapy with horses), work seasonally in a catalog call center, and am hoping to find a prep cook position over the summer when my call center job ends.   I've also worked in grocery stores as a cashier, several deli's and kitchens as a cook, and used to work on a horse farm in high school where I was a camp counsellor and instructor.

I'm currently in school and am working towards getting into a Nursing program.

Past jobs included included Mickey D's to Microfilm Clerk then Nursing Assistant. I'm just excited to be heading towards the sciences.

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

I was working security till laid off, going to school :police:

Currently working in retail. Previous positions include CAD Technician and computer technician.

other. I manage a resort condominium property in the Virgin Islands.

Information Security Specialist.

Freelance graphic designer, in grad school working on a educational design Masters. Former restaurant and retail manager, commercial photographer, pizza delivery driver, data processing dweeb, bakery worker, sales associate, unemployed bum, and a random few others. (not in chronological order - partly intentional)

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.

I'm an aviation technician with a specialty in avionics as well as a residential electrician. 

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 am a college student right now: Bachelor's of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry.  But I also work at a retail outdoor's shop with is fun!

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:.
