    I work part time for London Underground (weekends only) been there 10 years now!!

    My DD started school in Sept, so I'm about to start a teaching assistant course. The plan is to hopefully qualify and get a part time mornings only job.

    I'm a primary teacher - currently seeking promotion to Principal Teacher (in Scotland). I'm supposedly sitting here planning for next week but can't get motivated. Always said when I stop loving it I'll look for something else.

    Wow, lots of people here working in schools.

    I'm a primary school teaching assistant. I know who to ask if I need any help now :T
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I'm a Probation Officer... have done it for a few years now but don't really enjoy it and feel like I am just doing it for the reasonably decent wage, very good hols (31 days :j) and final salary pension. Like any government job, it's become all about targets and spreadsheets and less about helping people which is what I trained for in the first place :mad:. I would love to work with animals (some would say I do now anyway :rolleyes:), they are much more appreciative of what you do for them!
    Second and final LBM 01/01/11 Nearly got there but fell of wagon. HAVE to do it this time :mad:

  • Well I started at my present company four years ago as a Payroll Manager, since then I've add HR & Training Manager to the title.... well variety is the spice of life! :rotfl: (only downside is I'm not earning the equivalent of three managerial wages! :cool: )

  • right paps back on form

    I work full time as a customer adviser/canteen assistant. However i am also an artist making handmade cards/frames for sale in my business. I trained in animal care at college but sadly the jobs aren't available around here because colleges are churning out 100's of these newly qualified people and unless you have a job lined up the jobs vs candidates are so out weighed no one gets a job. At the moment as i am in no debt and what i spend is less than i earn i would like to get a large amount saved (over £10k) so this job is perfect i can mostly walk out of there and forget about the day. Who knows where i will be in 10 years time though :confused:
