Yeah I was just wondering what people who have jobs here on the zone do, or if your soon getting a job or something, what do you do? Do you like it? Just curious.
Me I was a customer service guy for a bank over here in the UK, and hated it. Now I'm working on doing a long distance degree in international studies, then working in equality and diversity, I.E on the side of those who fight against racism and prejudice. Finally a job I can believe in! Woohoo!
Well, I've had several jobs from the time I was in college almost 30 years ago till now. Mostly I've worked in rehab. Now, I'm a computer instructor and evaluator recommend speech and braille input and output devices. I have a Church music job part time, and do freelance music. Probably the oddest job I had was as a braillist before there were embossers. the college didn't have braille duplicating equipment, so I did the copies individually. I understand what the monks went through.

I only had a receptionary job once for a six-week employment skills program at my state school for the blind. hated it. lol I'd like to be a music therapist one day.
Just to clarify my last post, the job itself was with the red Cross, but the program was based at the school for the blind..
Lou, lmao. That was funny. Thank god the Anglo-saxon chronicles didn't have to be transcribed also, grin.
I've done baby sitting and worked in a daycare center when I had good usable vision. Now I am a word processor for a local rehab agency. I type reports from cassette dictation for most departments within the agency. When the receptionist is off, I often fill in for her.
I work in a rehab centers dorms as an attendant. I also teach access technology, from note takers to computers. I am planning to attend college once again and try for something different and with more money.
I've taught music in two schools for the blind, taught private music lessons, played in bands, done studio work, and taught access technology for a college.
Hmmm a lot of music people here huh? Cool keep it coming, I'e only had one job so far, receptionist at a funeral home, yeah i know, first time i told my friends where I was working they were all like OMG a funeral home, it was actually a cool job for high school, money was good.
lol, at least at the funeral home, you didn't get any lip form the bodies, lol.
wouldt' mind doing dictation work for a rehab agency or something like that while i go for my degree. hmm, might see the careers advisor about that one.
I will soon be the moderator of a local website in my area, which is funded on behalf of the local government, I'm on the committee of that project, and I'm on the management committee of another organisation.
