    The victims we know so well
    They shine in your eyes
    When they kiss and tell
    Strange places we never see
    But you're always there

    My DH works in the recruitment of scientists :)
    He used to work for a government agency when it was setting up the DNA database. He is happier now;)

    No,not yet - my job matching was last week and didn't get called over for interview - not sure whether that's a good or bad thing.
    Just trying really hard not to think about it :eek:

    I can't believe how many people on here actually love their jobs.

    Since leaving University, I've had 3 jobs and hated them all - hence why I moved to something else, but I've always just bumbled along to different things with no goal in sight. Now at the tender age of 26 I want to set roots somewhere and have a job I enjoy (at the very least). I'm quite tempted by the posters of a teacher - I did look into this a year or so ago but never pursued it. I think the main things about can't move on to other jobs is the obvious lack of money some training courses cost!! Damn!!
  • a pharmacy technician....... yes its very boring counting tablets and listening to people moan about their ailments, men are the worst!!:rolleyes:
    hubs is a postman and he luuuves his job:confused: all those early mornings!
    Sometimes your the dog, and sometimes your the lampost..:p

    I'm in fashion retail:eek: :rotfl: lol, I actually love it! I studied for 6 years and got my degree in Molecular Biology, worked for a year in a lab, got bored with it and never went back! I missed working with the public:eek: :eek: believe it or not and after having my children ended up in retail. I am now looking to go into the Management side of it and my ideal job that I am aiming for is Visual Merchandising:)

    I did consider teaching but would probably feel restricted in that environment. I did a stint at Travel Agent as well and hated it. Having to look a certain way just wasn't me unfortunately:rolleyes:
    The world is full of Pink Fluffy Clouds......you just need to open your eyes to see them:)

    I am an Occupational Therapy student, previously I worked in the Travel Industry for about 15 years, but decided to have a complete change of direction and find a job that would offer me a bit more meaning. Needless to say I am hooked on Occupational Therapy and the people that I have worked with truely inspire me.
