I just finished my Bachelor's for Graphic Design and Web Design & Development, so I'm looking for a job in something related to that now. I've done a few internships in the field and have enjoyed it so far.

I'm a writer. I started off just doing fan fiction when I was a SAHM, but once the kids came of age I finally went to college and got degrees in journalism, anthropology and a minor in political science. From there I was a newspaper reporter for 10 years, and now I'm a novelist. I still do ghostwriting for a PR firm, to keep my hand in the news/journalism world.

I absolutely love what I do. I just wish I made a decent living at doing what I love.  :-\

The bakery life is simply so fun. I work as an all around baker/bakery for my local Costco. Sometimes it's tedious, but 95% of the time it is fun. Part time cake decorator, which is one day out of the week, otherwise I am in the mix of baking, and production of all the goods that come out of the bakery.
Also part time service, as being in the U.S. Army Reserve, I currently am working with networking. Mainly field set up and maintenance. I like to call it the Verizon for the Army..
My life motto: Wake Up and BE Awesome!

Stay true to yourself no matter the consequence, for this is your life, your decision, your trust in which will shape your future. Believe in yourself, if you don't then no one will.

  I thought I had already answered this. I worked in computer repair for over 40 years. I sitill build desktops for friends and help friends with computer problems. So chalk another one up for IT though I mostly worked hardware Mainframes and their peripheral systems down to windows laptops. Sorry for I don't do fruit (no Apples)
  Yes, I enjoyed it. Fixing a computer for someone is very rewarding. I still enjoy helping my friends.

Hugs,

I'm a software geek for a municipal utility. I do integration, which means I have to see both (or even more than 2) sides of every problem to get things to work together.  Seems appropriate for trans.

I worked in software development for many years. I did one military project as a consultant then did financial software.

I'm on my second career now. These days I help patients with TBIs to regain lost skills and to learn new skills they need to compensate. I love my job!
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

Military electronics. Buh-bye terrorists. I love my job.

Hugs, Devlyn
I started off in that. I wanted photography, the Navy stuck me in aviation fire control electronics. I made a career out of electronics. Retired.

My 'get food on the table' while the children were growing was not really a profession, more like a slave to the company.
But now I am in my true career for a decade. I do GIS technical and analytical work for one of the larger Federal land management agencies. And I LOVE it! Besides being challenging worthwhile work, I get to hang out with younger scientists so I can feed off their youth power.
And because our Government has strong inclusive doctrines, I get to dress however I please (as long as it is 'office appropriate'). Which is a big plus.
I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam.

This made me laugh so hard[emoji23]

I'm currently unemployed so I'm a bit of a fish out of water. Never had a job ever but planning to go to college someday.

As a production planning SME I integrated at least 10 major systems since 1982. It was a fun, interesting career full of potholes like programmers not having a clue about the systems and the effect on production. On the other hand I had programming knowledge. For example, the Baan system cost Boeing a billion dollars as they strove to implement commercial off the shelf programs. We also lost a vice President that took the CEO position at Baan. The biggest problem that I noticed right off the bat was the system was constructed for pharmaceutical and process industries Measurements in gram to pounds instead of ea, unit, feet, inches etc. Not custom manufacturing. It was a good career. If I lived as my authentic self I would not have been as successful because of the times. Today many large companies have diversity programs. http://www.hrc.org/resources/best-places-to-work-2017 I started out wanting to be  a firefighter but failed the physical. One of the reasons I was able to provide the help I did is because I sought every class on the subject I could find. The best advice I can give is, get all the education you can get, as it opens a whole lot of options for you that you can't get with a high school education, It will also give you more opportunities to work from home and that too makes a difference.  Am I smarter than you? No. and I can prove it.
