what do you `ll do for a living..?

“Just curious. I`m a Psych.Nurse have been for the past 19 yrs.It`s starting to wear on me though.I work on a dual diagnosis ward,dealing with disruptive behaviours.

I also have a wild life management and park conservation diploma.I`m beginning to wish I`d utilized it a long time ago.......(it`s only 08:15 and my work place is already crazy with people yelling and screaming....gonna be a long day)”

“Paddles...I envy you! 1) you have an awesome degree USE IT! 2) you currently have a job where people need you. You are blessed both places. Importantly though...you have to be happy.

I have a job...I've never had a career. There is a difference. I still don't know what I want to do! LOL

Enjoy your crazy day!!!”

“Okay so I am guessing TASER belts still aren't allowed in Mental Health settings?


Thats tough Paddles, I get the occasional person missing a dot or two off their dice, but MAN all day? When I was finishing my original degree we had to work a few days in a "psych ward" for observation purposes. And I deal with alchohol and drug addictions (recovery) in a volunteer status.

I guess the big thing is look for small victories. In my line of work I usually see a line of people who have decided to skate through life. They see responsibility as something involving the Mommy Government giving them FREE MONEY, because of some real or imagined slight generations ago. To keep a sense of humor and maintain a positive outlook I look for the small victories. The mother who GETS off Crack, whose daughter WAS an accessory to an arson (granted she was 12 and being stupid). Then 5 years later the mom is working in a productive job, the daughter is getting good grades in school...those are the victories.”

“I have a BS in General Agricultural Science and a Juris Doctor Degree. After 11 years of defending some of the most wretched people on the planet, the thought of being an Entomologist had a lot of appeal to it.

“Um Chili...you ever think of changing specialties? My brother was a defense attorney for a while..>HE HATED IT. Now he does Civil Defense work.

How bout you open a shop suing other attorneys for Malpractice? Bet you could make a bundle.”

“Rev are you REALLY???? I thought that it wsa just a trail name!”

“I'm an intern architect for a preservation architecture firm. We do a lot of work in the Adirondacks and Catskills so I've had a few times were I actually got paid to drive to some of the trailheads.”

“I'm a Professional Internet Forum Troll. I have a B.S. in communications.”

“Does that mean your communications are BS?”

What can I say?...JTAGS has better resolution than Google Earth...ain't nothing quite like reading the newspaper over somebody's shoulder from hundreds of miles up.....”

“dayhiker, yes, that was the joke”

“human/computer interaction designer and usability engineer mostly working on web delivered software in the financial sector.

I also used to be a master screenprinter.

Not bad for a guy with a Fine Art degree.”

“So you're a psych nurse paddles? We could sure use your help around here most days.

Corporate Paralegal. B.A. Liberal Arts, MBA.”

“I was an Industrial Engineer for General Motors until they closed our plant in 1982 and laid us all off. For the past 25 years I have been an engineering professor and quality management consultant.

I went from a world of 4 letter words to a world of 7 letter words...not sure which was more sane.
