What job industry(ies) are you interested in OR work in??

Im just curious because i am clueless about what i should do when i leave school as far as work goes.

I know there are other threads like this, but this one has a super-cool poll

30th May 2009, 04:03 PM

Be a nurse. I dunno about AU, but here they're in extremely high demand. Great pay, personal growth, flexible hours, sexy uniform, what's not to like?

It's like one of those Hosptial drama shows, without the sexy people!

starfish · 30th May 2009, 04:05 PM

I am a Software Engineer. Though I write very little code. I mostly do system integration work.

ANightDude · 30th May 2009, 04:06 PM

I plan to be a movie director. I love making films, it's my passion.

Henrike · 30th May 2009, 04:08 PM

Partying it up with Biology.

Shevanel · 30th May 2009, 04:11 PM

Film Industry (filmmaking, production, acting, etc), Photo-journalism/journalism, and/or something with Music. Basically.

i have no idea what i wanna do

im gonna study geography at university when i go in October,but i have not the foggiest after that. Im hoping i find some kinda calling whilst at uni...

Red87 · 30th May 2009, 04:26 PM

Well, I'm currently 2 credit hours from my associates in Information technology, but I almost went for a degree in music. So lets hope this works out.

kettleoffish · 30th May 2009, 04:37 PM

I checked engineering and IT, but I'm really only interested in It from an engineering point of view. I'm fascinated by electronics - apart from music, it's just about my only hobby

Eccentric · 30th May 2009, 04:56 PM

I have no friggin clue but I have a long time to figure out. Maybe arts or law or math.

Étoile · 30th May 2009, 04:58 PM

I want to do something in history, like be a curator. Or psychology. Or journalism. Or english. LOL

Lychee · 30th May 2009, 05:20 PM

Mathematician

Apocalypte · 30th May 2009, 05:23 PM

Just finished my Comp Sci degree, currently jobhunting. I also did 2.5 years of a maths degree, and if I go on to do postgrad study I'd like to do something which combines both...

Swamp56 · 30th May 2009, 05:27 PM

I'll be in health sciences/medicine. I'm a psych major, but I am also in pre-med, so I'm hoping to get into medical school. If I do, I'm looking at emergency medicine and psychiatry ^.^ . If I don't get into med school, I'll be going on to graduate school for clinical psychology.

RaRa · 30th May 2009, 05:29 PM

Something involving either singing/acting being a producer/director or being a chef/foodcritic. The odd one out is Psychology.

There's extremely high demand, but the pay is still crap and the hours generally are bad as well, you can sometimes be expected to do 24 hours straight, which isn't only bad for you but dangerous for patients. Nurse uniforms here are really frumpy as well, not sexy.

And drama shows, depends on the ward. Palliative care ward, extremely depressing place, emergency ward, fast paced, extremely difficult place.

Anyway, I'd either like to become a professional bassoonist or research scientist in physics or chemistry at the moment.

Fiender · 30th May 2009, 07:15 PM

Haha, no one want to be a lawyer!

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. And the gays want nothing to do with either.

DUN DUN.

**EM68** · 30th May 2009, 07:20 PM

I am an insurance agent. Life insurance, annuities, medicare supplements to name a few.
