What do you do for a living?

What kind of work do you do? Do you like it? Is the money good?

I'm doing a process engineering internship that involves a lot of work I'm underqualified for. I like it alright, but there's not enough human interaction in the office, hence me creating this post. Money is better than minimum!

I'm an ER nurse and I absolutely love it! The money is fair, but in light of what I have to deal with on a daily basis, the pay could be much better (though premiums for working evening, night and weekend shifts help)

I'm an Uber/Lyft driver and hold a certification as an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse). The pay as a driver is fair. I love the hours and the interaction with passengers. I do have to return to the medical field so that that I don't lose my license.

I'm in grad school for information science (think computer science and library science had a baby, is what I like to say to people) but I taught public high school for four years

I do resistance welding for a small aerospace company. I make an exhaust duct for Boeing 737s. Money is alright, this is my first job and it's not incredibly demanding physically or mentally so I can't really complain. Cap is kinda low but this is an entry-level job anyway.

I'm in college doing a electronic technologist program. I like it, and I got a job during the summer through it doing industrial automation maintenance. It's really fun.

That's good work you do weesin!! Thank you for your services to humankind. I can imagine you've seen some real shit! Hopefully those premiums make up for some of it. How long have you been doing this for?

Cool! I considered doing some ride share driving myself but my car is too old :/ The flexibility and interaction with passengers is what appeals most to me as well! Do you drive because it was difficult finding a job as a nurse?

Nice, good for you for pushing on to grad school!! What did you teach in high school, and what do you want to do with your future information science degree? Feel free to help me out with my code any time haha.

That sounds super rad!! It sounds like you should be making more and "alright" money based on that first sentence lol. Do you see yourself sticking with the company?

Electronic technologist?! I've never even heard of that! Based on your summer job you could definitely get hired by the company I work for as well! :P

I am an electrical engineering student at Virginia Tech. Currently sitting in my advanced circuits class bored out of my mind. Cannot stop taking typing tests, it's addicting.

Thanks very much rhym3r. I've been a nurse for 16 years now. I originally started off as a paediatric oncology nurse, but found that, as a mother, it was too difficult for me when I'd lose patients. I still occasionaly lose a child as an ER nurse, but being in an ER also affords me an opportunity to help save people, rather than seeing people dying all the time.

Haha thanks! A lot of people were surprised about it because they just can't imagine going back to school haha

I used to teach high school English, so I like words and I happen to like typing so it was great together!

I gotta get my coding right and when I get the hang of it, I'll help you out!

Still in high school but when I get into college I want to be a doctor. I have always loved to work with people. And everybody calls me the social person because I love to talk. As you can see my name is Gabriella but Gabby for short. When you look gabby up it means that I love to talk. I have always been raised to help others. The one thing I hate the most is bulling I can't even stand it. I was bullied all elementary school and almost killed myself. I just love to help people in need. People are like "Why don't you just be a counselor" and I say because I prefer to help people in a different way. What is one thing you guys hated in school? (besides school)

I am a miserable 4 foot teen, you can find me in Hamilton crying and browsing Quora. I currently work as a Paper Route flyer person along with my sister, and she pays me in food( like snacks from her lunch.) I am hoping to be good with RBLX Studio and maybe even someday become a developer on the platform as well as successful capitalist.

My sister actually has a job, working as a hostess.
Why does nobody view my Quora answers? ):
