Hi y'all

Cindy recently spoke at the ANZSOM conference to dispel some gross simplifications about our place in society and the working world.  We could be lawyers, housewives, students, sex workers...  It doesn't matter really, but let's have a totally unscientific poll to see where we are working. 

Your selection is anonymous unless you wish to post a comment.

Let's year from ya!

Hugs
Julia, engineer and wannabe chef  :D

I put "Student"

Tho I hope to one day be categorized as "Entertainment Leisure" (An Author in the entertainment business.. Not some big shot singer or something, just an author. xD)

Unless an author would be categorized as media? Not sure. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I am retired since 2008.  I did realize a dream job.   I thought as a kid I would magically become a mom with babies so this was as close as I could get.  I was a CRNA, nurse anesthetist, for 33 years and specialized in labor and delivery.  Reducing pain and fear while empowering women was very rewarding but happened at 2-3 in the morning way too often.  Babies have no respect for our sleep ;) ;D

In retirement I am involved politically and socially as a community activist.

Hello iiMTF - "entertainment and leisure" is probably closer, but I realise that this poll is quite a blunt instrument... you always end up missing a category, even after adding in the one that's missing :D

I've been a nurse for eight years. I'm a student helicopter pilot and may look for work as a pilot down the line.

I work in general manufacturing, I'm a technical salaried worker and am out fully now.

I am an engineer but I also work in the energy sector... I marked engineer because if I change jobs I would still be one. I am out at work with no issues, although I haven't gone full time yet. Also I work for a start-up.

I am officially retired now(2007) although I had a disability retirement in 1988.

When working I was a computer programmer analyist for an IBM system 36 computer in the metal working business.

I was one of the few people working that I loved my job as others just worked to survive.

I would kid my boss that I should pay him to work there(loved programming).

I was also in stealth mode as no one knew that I'm TG(worked as a man)

I put "retired/don't need to work".  My wife is an attorney and whatever I'd make would be peanuts taxed at the highest possible rate.

I used to be a top-tier guitar technician/luthier.  Now I'm a housewife.

Jera

I'm a freelance writer, the bulk of which is spent writing for news outlets (or pseudo-news... the few months I spent working for the Onion were fantastic), though I do a great deal of blogs, ghost-writing, and advertising, too. I also write as a hobby, and every once in a while I get the chance to sell some of my own stories, too.

This is supplemented by a lot of entry-level customer service type things from time to time, like the cashiering I'm doing for a grocery store right now.

Unemployed since 2011... Most people in this country are in a similar situation... Honestly it's not strange to see families who used to have two cars and a middle class apartment now living in the street or squats and dumpster diving to eat... If we add how backwards Spain is socially it's rather clear that I have little to no chance of getting a job.

I have a career in telecommunications engineering and am currently studying veterinary medicine.

I wouldn't lie if I said that I'm considering 'other' jobs ... Tough times..

You are missing a big sector - Banking and Finance. I'm one of those dreaded Investment Bankers
When we first start our journey the perception and moral values all dramatically change in wonderment. As we evolve further it all becomes normal again but the journey has changed us forever.

Everything involving the government is scary. They can make you disappear in an instant.

And... Dare I say... Tacos.

I'm from the government. I'm here to help.

I actually am a federal employee and being a nurse I am here to help. :D
